Well there are plenty of videos and articles on the internet, but I haven't practiced it by myself. Most of them uses the shunt break to increase the speed, but i am confused about it.
I am studying in China and this place is crawling with e-bikes, pretty cheap here. These comes in 24 to 96v (may be more) with different speeds. In smaller bikes (24-60v) speed is the major problem. The circuitry and controllers are almost the same for all. Controllers are very cheap here and its not a bad idea to experiment some. However, there is a button called 'speed increase', if that turned on, the speed might have a 5-10 km/hr increase.
I have just seen one of it (48v), and it was pretty much easier to deal with. I saw a shunt in there but was afraid that the circuit will smoke, because my bike was already going at 45 km/hr. The speed controller button and various other wires were disconnected (by a service person), due to that I had no speed issue.
But i am planning to get another used e-bike and do some experiments with that. Could you people kindly share your experiences with speed upgrades
