If anyone is on the FB group, I put a post (poll) there last week asking about interest in getting a Bolton upgraded controller and display for the Yukon. So far on my Yukon 750, I can't get over 40kph on PAS9 on flat ground, (yes with a larger chainring) even if I adjust the CUL and max speed...

Note sure it is in this thread anywhere but I'm not so interested in all the other mods (I already have different seatpost, chainrings, tires, etc.) but I am interested in the controller/display mod. Did this increase your power, torque and top-end speed? What is the max speed you can get at...

Agreed. I bought an eFat bike (VoltBike Yukon) last Fall for winter commuting, then tried it for some fat biking on trails, and found it too heavy, restrictive, etc., then got a manual fat biking for enjoyment and fitness on the fat bike trails. Still commute on my eFat though.

Where does this term acoustic come from for a manual bike? Very strange; this is not a musical instrument!

You could try looking/asking on some of the FB groups like Endless Sphere or DIY eBikes, etc. ...Roger

No but I did add a smaller chainring for when I do trail-riding without power assist. I then manually move the chain over to that chainring. It's a neat chainring as it is a special 26T version but on a 104 bolt circle. Usually you can't get such a small chainring for that bolt circle...

Oh yes I ride in -25C weather sometimes

No I bought a Voltbike Yukon 750 Ltd. I've put 1200km on it since mid Nov with winter commuting and recreational riding. Téo never answered my last phone calls and emails plus the Voltbike looked good. I'm happy with the Voltbike. Some issues but they have been good about sending me replacement...

ha, ha. I've got a day job to worry about though! I'm starting to think it's just easier to upgrade the controller. One video I saw said that we won't get any increase in top-speed out of it but only torque which I think you or someone else mentioned already.

Cool, so in this case the mid-motor has the controller built into it (?)

Yes I don't think I saw a post about trying ST-Link II. Maybe it's posted in another forum/thread(?) That's what I suspected about the epoxy covering, as it's critical to waterproof the controller well. There were comments somewhere in this forum about Voltbike taking care of...

Hi: I'm a fairly new Yukon owner (and new to eBikes) and interested in hacking the controller if possible to deliver a bit more power. (I am an EE with some knowledge of electronics) 1) how did you know it was limiting to 15A? Is that just from looking at the power meter on the display 2) I'm...

I’m a bit confused about this whole post as all the solutions relate to hacking the electronics. Why not just put a larger chainring on so you can add more pedal power or were you specifically asking only about getting more power assist.

I only JUST got it today and took my first ride into work (20km) this afternoon in winter weather on both the road and the unplowed bike trails. It was lots of fun. I slid out a few times in the snow and need to figure out the right air pressure to use and the best gear/PAS to use...

Interesting idea. Let us know how it works out.
