How to Remove the Speed Limit on Yadea Electric Scooters?
3 Answers
Yadea electric scooter speed limit removal steps are: 1. With the power lock turned off, prop up the kickstand and ensure the motor hub is stationary (operation will be invalid if the hub is rotating to prevent accidental operation while riding); 2. Twist the throttle to the maximum while holding the brake; 3. Turn on the power lock; 4. Maintain brake pressure, fully release the throttle, then twist it to the maximum twice consecutively; 5. Keep both the brake and throttle at maximum position for over 3 seconds; 6. Completely release both the brake lever and throttle; 7. The removal process is complete. Electric scooters are vehicles powered by electricity, also known as e-scooters. They are categorized into AC electric scooters and DC electric scooters.
I've been commuting on my Yadea electric bike for several years, and the speed limit issue is indeed frustrating. Friends told me that you could modify controller parameters through the OBD interface to increase speed. I tried it once: after flashing the firmware with a USB tool, the top speed increased from 25 km/h to over 30 km/h. While it felt faster, the rear wheel became noticeably unstable, especially on bumpy roads where the handlebars shook violently. This isn't just a handling issue—mistakes in operation could burn out circuit modules, leading to costly repairs. Legally, it's also sensitive; exceeding speed limits could result in fines or vehicle confiscation if caught by traffic police, as urban speed limits are designed to protect everyone's safety. Personally, I'd advise against casually attempting to remove the limiter. If you really want improvement, check with Yadea's after-sales service to see if there are official speed adjustment options. Upgrading the battery or frame would be a more reliable and safer approach.
I'm the type who enjoys tinkering with things, so I tried removing the speed limit on my Yadea e-bike myself. First, I checked tutorials on forums, bought an OBD debugger to connect to the controller, and lowered the software limit. The effect? It felt great when the speed increased to 28 km/h, but problems soon arose: accelerated tire wear and abnormal noises, likely caused by uneven circuit loads. There's fun in DIY, but the risks are greater—if parameters are set incorrectly, the bike might completely break down, requiring expensive repairs. I learned one thing: back up the original settings before making changes, but it's best to consult a professional shop or the manufacturer. After speed modification, e-bikes become less stable, making them prone to tipping over during normal rides or when carrying loads. It's simpler and safer to just buy a higher-spec model.
