Can The Owner Change The Controller Amps On The X1 ?

So this would be for the base 750W version X1.

I recently watched a video where the owner of the Ebike went into his display unlocked it and changed the amps for his controller from 10 to 19.
He then had much better performance on his Ebike. Of coarse we already start at a much higher Amp output anyways on the X1.
Also although most people wouldn't, some might want to even lower it to meet local regulations that start to be enforced.

Is this an option for the base 750W X1 through the display, this would be awesome if you could.

Yes. You can tune it down but you can tune it back up.

But just through the unlocked display without a programming cable hooked up to a computer?

Not at this time. We are moving towards that but that’s a lot of programming on the display to act as a more intelligent client. It might be easier to go the app route with BLE.

It would be good for flexibility; everybody let's you restrict the speed on the display for compliance 20/28 mph for example, speed would be the primary offender. But if you get stopped by a cop to show him we have the ability to also make the Ebike legal right on the spot by decreasing the controlling amps to make it 750 W. I don't think that many police know that much about Ebikes anyways, but if you an have officer that is on EBR he will.
Also rules change so if the software can help the hardware to change with them you have an advantage.

Riders can already do all of this right now. If you watch the video, a rider can set up a legal and an off road profile. The bike always boots up into the legal mode. If a rider is with an LEO they just shut off the bike and start again.
Is there a specific scenario you are looking at? Pretty sure riders can pre-program that.

Awesome, didn't know that.
For me I have no desire to go faster than what is legal in my area, I do however want the massive wattage to climb hills, that part is the issue for me I need to be over the legal limit to effectively climb heavy grade hills within the speed limit, that's why I think the wattage restriction laws are very flawed.
