    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    PD123, you mean you tried it? I'm afraid to try it because if it doesn't work, how do you fix it when a part like a lockring might be very hard to get, at least for now when the bikes are so new. I'm waiting for Bianchi to release a new rear derailleur hanger since the hanger (I am told) is...

    Known Issues & Problems with Orbea Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    It's pretty much perfect... I think I'll need the extra water bottle battery because I tend to ride it at 100% power assist on hilly/roller rides. I haven't checked the power usage carefully, but it seems like I'm draining the battery down about 1/3 in about 10 miles at mostly 100% power level...

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    I did a test ride on my Bianchi Aria eRoad today and it was amazing. I went up hills I couldn't do before, even my steep, gravel driveway. Speed limiter is set to 20 mph so I'm happy. Plenty of power... I'm not looking for a motorcycle, just a boost since I'm 70 yo and have atrial fibrillation...

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    Dealer said my Bianchi Aria eRoad would arrive at my house in about 2 weeks (Thanksgiving)... at the distributor in Burlingame, CA now. I'm upgrading to SRAM Red eTap, tubeless tires, and front brake on right side (not exactly an upgrade, but I've had the right lever for front brake for over 50...

    Known Issues & Problems with Orbea Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    It seems like a 20 mph max would sell a lot more bikes than only 15 mph. I can now ride 15 mph on a flat 20-mile ride without a motor. I've been racing/riding for 55 yrs. and I'm used to riding at about 17-18 mph average for 40-60+ miles. Because of physical limitations (constant atrial...

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    Sounds reasonable... except, the wheel is always going to turn the same speed as the cassette unless you stop pedaling. So it seems the cassette lockring magnets could detect both speed and pedaling. However, I know I could be wrong. Also, it looks like the end-user app allows setting the wheel...

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    Good news that you heard the Orbea has a 20 mph limiter... hopefully, that means the Bianchi Aria eRoad will be the same... I can ride at 15 mph without a motor and need just a bit of help climbing and going faster. The Bianchi distributor said yesterday that they expect more bikes by the end of...

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    I'm still not understanding. It would seem like the software needs a sensor to tell it how fast the bike is going in order to turn off the motor when the max. speed limit is reached. The Fazua motor has a sensor on the left chainstay and a spoke magnet which can be hacked by moving the sensor to...

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    I'm considering the Orbea Gain with the rear hub motor (Ebikemotion X35 v.2) and wondering if anyone has an idea how to "fix" the speed limiter of 25 kph. There is a sensor in the right rear dropout and 20 magnets in the cassette lock ring. Do you think removing 10 of the magnets (every other...
