Hi. Am new to this group, but I notice from my initial browse that commuting to/from work on e-bikes are a common thread...great. I have a Giant Suede-e, three LAfree Sports and the venerable LAfree Lite. I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to get around the speed limiter on the Suede-E. I also have a copy of the service manual for the LAfree Sport. It's translated from the Japanese so the grammar is sometimes a little 'odd'. The hybrid specialist at Giant sent them to me which says a lot for Lance. I'm grateful to him. I'm looking forward to hearing from anyone if they can help.
Mine tops out at maybe 10-11mph, it is much slower than my 15mph x-treme 24v bike. I even put new 36v lithiums in it, still slow. How slow is yours? If you figure out a way, please let me know. Thanks!!
17mph on that bike is really hard to do even with assist, at least for any sort of distance. The pedal assist isn't a boost like ebikes today, it just makes pedaling a little easier. With only 7 speeds, it is basically useless at higher speeds. On my x-treme, I can do 17 and not even break a sweat. Because of the limitation on the Suede-E, even with throttle, I ended up ordering a new controller, which should be in tomorrow. thanks!!
