Thanks - The video was informative. I will do necessary change and test the speed tomorrow or on Canada Day.

After changing P08=45, P11=1 & P12=5, I was able to reach speed of 43 kms with full throttle and pedalling. Quite happy with the speed. I also tested cruise control and it did work as well. I am very happy with the bike. Now time to look for more videos and get other add-on to the bike to make it more efficient for daily commute to work. I am also going to get GPS tracker for safety and peace of mind.

Its not a hack. And no it doesn't affect the warranty. Its shipped that way as as a Class 2 ebike initially with the option by the owner to change it to Class 3 and to change the decal on the bike...ya right..lol

I just changed mine to the PO8=45 setting . Easily hit 28 mph on flat pavement . Makes it a fast bike...

The real question is, how do you unlock the 28mph with throttle only (no pedal assist)

I know how it's designed, we get that. That's why I used the word "unlock". The bike is capable of 28mph and the throttle clearly has a "shut off" at 20mph. I would put money on the fact that a person could disable that shutoff.

Yeah I was wondering that myself, I was reading along with a few other ebike brands like the Rad Rover and they figured out how to do it by disabling a white wire.

Right . I hit 25mph without pedaling and 29mph pedaling hard , top gear 7.
I'm curious about your setup to see if I can higher throttle only speeds as well.
- When did you get your Lectric XP (earlier versions have more firmware settings unlocked)?
- How much do you weigh (I'm 210 lbs so potentially more weight to move)
- What are your P settings?

I weigh 180lbs and have no trouble hitting 28mph . Top gear 7 and P-5 , of course . I also noticed that even downhill it will not go over about 29mph max (still have never seen 30mph .)

I want to add to something I realized riding today , after hitting 28mph a "governor" or cut-off kicks-in to keep it from accelerating more . You can feel it cut in . I think theres probably a code to unleash more power....How much more ??

When the Lectrics were first coming out they advertisted them to go around 35mph if I remember correctly, but I am sure they limited it due to legal/safety reasons.
I am still waiting for someone who knows more about electronics and wiring more than I do to 'hack' the Lectric XP
