No.
You need to measure the unloaded and loaded speed to see if the controller is restricted. Like I described in my first reaction on page 1.

Is it speed restricted or watt restricted?SlowCo said:

Is this scooter speed restricted by NL law?

Sounds like it is speed limited. Does it have a speedomoter?Elbobbah said:
Ok so I finally installed a speedometer.
Reference values for 12 inch where not available, so the numbers are just numbers.
When lifting the scooter and opening the throttle i get 48. When driving 43.
So there is about a 10% difference in rotation speed with and without road resistance.
What does this mean?

This would likely indicate that the speed isn't electronically restricted. So the voltage of the battery and the rpm of the motor at that voltage result in the maximum speed. Then you should also find that the top speed when riding with a half or almost empty battery pack is lower than with a fully charged pack just off the charger.
Can't you program the speedometer with a value of the circumference of the tire? That would be roughly 1m (1000mm) for your tire. That way you would have a more accurate number close to the actual speed.
So for going faster you will probably need a higher voltage battery pack and controller.

The controller says Dual Mode. Is there something like a high/low speed switch?
If you lift the rear wheel and just spin it by hand both directions, you can tell if it's geared or direct drive. Geared motors will spin easily in the forward direction but there will be resistance to spinning backward. Direct drive motors will spin fairly easily in both directions but you will feel some cogging from the magnets.
If you could get a spare motor from them, you could put one on the front and make it a dual motor.

I think controller is like this one.
I don't see what the dual mode means https://nl.aliexpress.com/store/product/JS-Electric-bike-Controller-DC-36V-12A-LCD-LED-Electric-Bicycle-Controller-DUAL-MODE-e-bike/2823075_32810850690.html?spm=a2g0z.12010108.1000016.1.4e75b82dT3XSrF&isOrigTitle=true

that would be great! 2X2 drive There is indeed spinning resistance when going backwards

The dual mode is related to the torque and not the speed. On my scooter there is a "turbo" button which allows for more amps and thus faster acceleration. Is there a button at your handlebar that does the same?
If you want to keep the 36v battery you'll need a different/higher rpm motor at that voltage. Are there any numbers on the motor casing or side plates? That way you can find out what brand motor it is and maybe just swap out the geared hub motor core for a higher rpm version.
