Hi all,
I currently have a foldable electrid pedelec. The motor is180W and the battery 36V 12 Ah. This is the frame and bike:

Now i bought this bike to commute, but since i changed jobs i wanna use it for another reason. I have to do a distance of around 40kms, but want to make this bike (or make a complete new one) faster. Now the speed is limited to 25kph, but being able to increase it to 30-35 kph would be nice (and really reduce the travel time).
Now my question. What do i need? I know how to 'hack' the controller (i was able to display higher speeds, but i guess the current was limited by the controller). Do i need a 48V battery to increase my speed or an all complete controller? Or can i modify the shunt resistor and make it go faster? 180W is not much, i don't know what the possibilities are?
Kind regards, and thanks for the support.
