Can I trick Bocsh's firmware?

[Jeff Backes]

I was scrolling though the settings of the Bosch Intuvia yesterday...

If I were to set the "wheel circumference" to a smaller value, wouldn't the actual speed be higher than the shown speed on the display? Wouldn't this allow the bike to go faster than the rated speed.

I don't actually want to do this as 28mph is fast enough for me, but I was just wondering...

I just checked the manual...

“wheel circum.”: You can change this value pre-set by the

manufacturer by ± 5 %. This value is displayed only when

the on-board computer is in the holder.
​

So it should be able to go to 29.4...

That's something I guess.
