If your bike is PAS governor limited to 20mph you can make the new cap 28 by using the metric conversion trick; taking it from Class 1 to make it Class 3. Let's say you have a display such as this: https://e-glidebike.com/images/sf-manuals/e-glide-SF-LCD-Manual.pdf. Kilometers are 40% smaller than Miles. 60 mph is 100kph. Reset the display to km from miles. Then reset the wheel diameter setting to 40% smaller. So, change a 26in wheel to 16 inches. Now your display will show that 25kph is actually traveling at 25mph, 40% faster. 20mph x 1.4 = 28mph.
