How to Resolve the New National Standard Speed Limit of 25km/h?

Under the condition of power-off, hold the left brake lever without releasing it. Turn the right throttle to the maximum position three times consecutively, then release the brake lever. Finally, turn off and then turn on the ignition switch to complete the process.
The new national standard speed limit of 25km/h is mandatory, but many find it too slow. From a legal and safety perspective, I strongly advise against unauthorized speed modifications—overspeeding vehicles are like ticking time bombs, with increased body instability during emergency braking and doubled tire slippage risks. Last week, a user forcibly removed the speed controller, resulting in motor overheating and wiring damage during downhill riding—repair costs exceeded the scooter's value. For those seeking speed, switching to compliant electric motorcycles (capable of 50+ km/h) with proper helmets and licenses is safer. For daily commutes, shared e-scooters offer convenience without the worry of traffic police fines or confiscation.
Having repaired electric bikes for eight years, I often have customers asking me to remove the speed limit. Technically, disconnecting the speed-limiting wire or replacing the controller can indeed push the speed beyond 30 km/h, but I always tell customers directly: the motor can't handle it and its lifespan will be shortened, while overheating brake pads can cause dangerous braking delays. Especially in rainy conditions, an emergency brake from 25 km/h takes 4 meters, but from 35 km/h, the distance skyrockets to over 7 meters. Once, a customer ignored my advice and removed the speed limiter, resulting in a rear-end collision where the airbags didn't deploy because the system identified it as an illegal modification. For peace of mind, I recommend installing pedal-assist accessories—they can slightly boost speed when pedaling uphill.
