Giant Quick-E 2018 Canadian Version - Question on the 32km/h Speed Limit - If you go faster any risks to Motor or not??

Morning All,

Giant Quick-E 2018 Canadian Version - Question on the 32km/h Speed Limit - If you go faster any risks to Motor or not??

Seems there are 2 methods , add a new Speedbox Controller which removes the speed deliminator or move the Magnet from tyre to pedal to allow faster speeds.

Seems all the Giant Quick-E+ 2018 have the same Motor:

• Giant SyncDrive Sport, powerfull 80Nm central motor

It seems the bike is speed limited delepneding on which Country they are sold in, Canada 32km and others 25km/h.

In South Africa, Cape Town where i stay Giant Quick E-Bikes , Mountai Bike and Road Bikes are sold and go 45km/h.

So my question is as follows:

- I bought my Giant Quick-E+ 2018 from Canada, it looks identiacal to the one sold in South Africa and the Motor has the same 80Nm.
- Any risk to me making my Giant go 45km/h??
- Could i burn out the Motor or any other component?? I don't think so.

I am looking at an option of moving the magnet to the Pedal and ignore the speed reading on the main speedometer and use a GPS.

Sorry for these silly questions, I am aware of warranty and support but my issue is these bikes are made and sold and advertised to go 45km/h / 28Mph as per attached??

Been using my Giant Quick-E+ 2018 as a Commute bike to work and back daily, only 17.5km which takes me 35 minutes. The best thing i ever bought and Giant is the best, quality and workmanship and support is worth it then buying a cheap Chinese no name brand E-Bike.

Appreciate any feedback and Opinions.

Kind Regards,

I've had no issues! I removed the magnet from the tire and put it on the pedal. Got to go! That extra 8-10 miles an hour makes all the difference in the world.

Thanks for feedback, agreed that extra speed is so cool. I would assume Giant and Yamaha motor would have built in a protection to switch off motor if it gets too hot due to external or internal heat build up.

.. or move the Magnet from tyre to pedal to allow faster speeds.

Does that really work?

Yes it works like a charm. I've been riding my bike with the speed limiter disabled for months now with no issues at all.

I believe you, i am just really surprised. Why do people spend a lot of money for the tuning chips, if it is that simple?
Could you please post a picture off where exactly you mounted the magnet?

Remove the magnet on the wheel spoke and secure it on the pedal - to line up
with the sensor. I’ve since removed the tape as seen in this picture and I bought a bigger magnet from my local bike shop which I’ve now secured with a zip tie. I can go as fast as I want now but I don’t really go over 28-30mph. That’s PLENTY

Does this still work on the 2019 bikes? Thinking of trying it on a quick e
