After removing the 25 km/h speed limit, the Xiaodao electric scooter can reach approximately 35 km/h. Speed regulations: According to Chinese traffic laws, the maximum speed for vehicles is 120 km/h, and this speed is only allowed on highways. In urban areas, the speed limit is generally 50 km/h or 60 km/h. It is important to adhere to the speed limits when driving on roads. Precautions: Driving habits should be gentle, avoiding aggressive driving such as rapid acceleration, sudden braking, and sharp turns. Aggressive driving can cause excessive strain on the engine, brakes, throttle, steering, and chassis systems before they are properly broken in, potentially damaging internal components. These delicate parts are often difficult to repair effectively.
Last time I helped a friend adjust his Xiaodao electric scooter. After removing the 25 km/h speed limit, the scooter could reach around 38 km/h on flat roads. This depends on the specific model's motor power. The standard lead-acid battery version typically reaches 30-40 km/h after unlocking, while the lithium battery version has stronger torque and can go up to 45 km/h. However, it's important to note that the tires and brakes are designed for 25 km/h. Going too fast can easily cause the rear to slide out when cornering, and braking distance can more than double on rainy days. I've seen someone forcibly modify the controller to reach 50 km/h, only to burn out the motor in three months, with repair costs nearly half the price of a new scooter.
