I'm new to ebike riding, but have spent a couple hours trying to research this topic (maybe my google searching skills are just not as good as I thought). I've also skimmed all of the threads linked here.
I'm considering getting a specialized turbo S, but find it annoying that the motor cuts off at 28mph. I did a demo ride on the bike and found there were quite a few times when I would have liked to go a bit faster (getting all the way to 28mph requires a moderate amount of pedaling force, but then getting above 28 is almost impossible because the motor cuts out). I'm new to ebikes - is there a standard way to change/hack the limiter? I was thinking if there is a procedure to tell the controller it has smaller tires than it actually has that might be an option (or maybe that's a terrible idea?)
Thanks!
