Sensor hack

[net200777]

Anybody know where to get the speed hack sensor thing? Similar to badassbox or whatever it's called. All this stuff seems to come from overseas but I was wondering if any places sell stateside.

Advantage to sensor hack is you physically just place the unit where the speed sensor is and it will double the speed. Yes, x2 for actual speed but it beats having to remove everything to install a tuning device. Also can be removed in seconds. I see many examples where that proves useful. There's many instances where the motor cut out at 20 is annoying.

If anyone knows, let me know. Thanks

As far as I know, this topic has been beaten to death not only here on EBR but all over the internet forums that are related to ebikes.

The quick answer is NO.

In the US, there's an option to buy 28mph speed pedelec or even "off road" bikes like Stealth, FLX Blade, Optibike, Luna Cycle, Vintage Electric, etc.

It is mainly for European (and Asian) countries where 250W & 25km/h (15mph) is the limit. It is very rare to see "off road" bike too, as they must be registered as motorcycle and pass the "certificate of roadworthiness" inspection.

Simply put, I guess there's no demand in the US, since a lot of people are satisfied with 28mph pedelec, and if they aren't, they're just gonna buy "off road" ebikes or build their own kit.

If they really want to get rid of the 20mph limit like yourself, they would just buy speedbox from overseas.

There's a demand. Just got to find out whose gonna do it.

Did you not know 28mph bikes are available? I thought the speed hack plugged into the computer? You say it fits on the speed sensor?

Yes it just goes on the wheel sensor. Yes I know they're available.

Are you sure? SpeedBox plugs into the computer..

That's the typical tuning method. Check this,

Dunno if anyplace stateside offers tuning kits. I remember several people saying their LBS had tuning kits in the store available for purchase.

There's a ghetto hack where you relocate the OEM speed sensor and magnet from the wheel and attach to pedal (glue/duct tape etc). No need for buying a tuning kit. Pedal rotates slower than the wheel so motor never thinks it's reached 20mph limit and thus never cuts out. There are vids on YouTube showing how to do it (links can be found in one of the threads here on EBR)

You can simply attach a magnet to the pedal for this mod, I tried it. I didn't notice any changes.

maybe you didn't do it right? perhaps magnets were too far apart or too close together?

Hmm I'm fairly sure I did it right. I centered the magnet to align with the sensor. Honestly, strangely enough it seemed to be the exact same characteristics.
