I have a Felt bosch performance ebike which I speed hacked using the moving sensor and magnetic method. This basically gives me assist all the time but top speed of only 23 to 24 mph. Will one of the doggie kits (speed box or bad ass) give me any better speed. I’d like to go for the 28 to 30 mph and I don’t care that the display doesn’t provide actual speed and mileage

What generation is your motor? If it has the 15-20 tooth small diameter front chain ring, it is Gen 2 and easy to hack, If it is post 2019 with the full size front chain ring it is Gen 4 and much more difficult due to EU regulation and hack detection software in the system. I have a 2018 Gen 2 CX motor with the Bikespeed RS dongle installed inside the motor cover. It allows me to pedal with no top end. I have had the bike going 44 mph down a 4% grade and had to stop spinning at 115 rpm (my limit not the bikes). I have put over 5,000 miles on the motor since installing it with zero motor problems.

It’s the older model. I have been using the moving the sensor hack and that works quite well except it does not display the correct speed or miles which is fine with me. My question is if I ordered one of those Doggo‘s would I get better speed? At this Point honest level stretch using my iPhone is the speedometer in peddling pretty hard I only get 23 to 24 mph. Although the assist doesn’t cut out which is great. I would invest in a Doggo if I would get a little better speed but I don’t want to do that until I get my question answered. Thank you very much for your reply

The bikespeed does not interfere with accurate speed on the display. It only removes top end restriction but does nothing to increase the amount of power being delivered at a given speed. When I added my Bikespeed RS to take advantage of the added speed capability, I found it was hard to spin fast enough to attain speeds much over 22mph. I then changed out the front chainring from a 15 tooth to an 18 tooth which reduced my cadence at higher speeds to an rpm I could sustain. My maximum sustainable speed went up from 22mph to 25-27 on flat ground in Sport or EMTB mode. In doing this I also changed out the 11-42 tooth rear cassette to and 11-46 which recaptured most of the low end climbing power I had lost due to the larger chainring. These are relatively easy drive train changes to make. They really extended the capability of the bike and made it way more fun to ride.

And, if I want a motorcycle, I will buy one with better brakes, better tires and I'll wear a full head and face helmet, leathers and some good kevlar cycling armour and way thicker gloves. But I really don't want a motorcycle anymore...been there done that.

lmao,that luna X1 is a 28mph E-mountain bike even with the Luna controller! it goes one mph faster than your bike so i reckon your bike is also a motor cycle? it also came that way out of the box without having to be hacked or modded.

It say it goes 40 mph if you read in the blurb for the Apex or Apollo models https://electricbike-blog.com/2017/...-torque-sensing-ebike-a-lot-of-money-can-buy/

an Apex or Apollo is not an X1, they are totally different bikes that Luna doesn't even sell anymore. this is an X-1
and it tops out at 28-29 even with the upgraded controller

Hard to argue with fanboys. If something is more powerful than what they endorse, it is a motorcycle, if it is less powerful then it is too weak.
If one has to frequently climb for long distances that extra power actually comes in handy, even if you don't go fast.
Btw I watched that video and I was surprised that on downhill x1 beat specialized.

It tops out before you install a delimiter. Then the superior climbing power will also translate into even more speed.
