How to Remove the Speed Limit Under the New National Standard?

With the electric lock in the off state, turn the throttle grip to the end with your right hand while holding the brake lever to the end, then turn on the electric lock with your left hand and release both the throttle grip and brake lever with your right hand. Turn the throttle grip to the end with your right hand, then turn on the electric lock with your left hand and hold the left brake lever. Quickly turn the throttle grip to the end and release it twice with your right hand. To remove the speed limit, the rider needs to reprogram the ignition curve to unlock the speed restriction.
I'm also a hands-on person who often thinks about how to speed up electric bikes. The new national standard limits the speed to 25km/h, and the controller usually has a software lock or hardware restriction. You can remove the limit by flashing the firmware or replacing the controller, such as using programming tools to connect to a computer and change the settings, or buying a third-party controller to install. But this method is too risky—higher speeds may overwhelm the braking system, and the motor could overheat and burn out, leading to accidents. Legally, removing the speed limit is illegal modification. Traffic police use speed detection devices on the road, and getting caught speeding could result in fines and penalty points at best, or even confiscation of the vehicle in severe cases. Safety comes first—I once tried a friend’s modified bike, which flipped over while turning, and the repair costs ended up being much higher than the modification expenses. It’s better to spend more on a compliant electric motorcycle, which is faster, legal, and comes with insurance.
