Riding a tuned or deristricted EMTB is not a trivial offence and can have serious legal consequences. Also, many manufacturers can detect the use of a tuning device or deristricting method and may decline a repair under warranty if it was modified from the intended original specification. Deristricting EMTB's can also add increased loads for motors and batteries. Riding above the local law limit may reclassify the bike as a low-powered bike, requiring insurance, registration and a number plate.
Be aware of your local country laws. Many laws prohibit use of modified EMTB's. It is your responsibility to check local laws. Ignoring it, has potential implications to trail access, and risk of prosecution in the event of an accident.

For how many installs? What they say might be the case but they're unlikely to say otherwise, are they?
Hence my post buddy, I would also think there must be some truth to it as otherwise there just asking for a hiding for nothing….. hopefully someone will be able to give some clarification
Which bike?
Obviously it's still 'early days' but we have a very high success rate with these kits across the Gen4, Gen5 and SX motors.
Unfortunately the Carbon frame on these prevent the Speedfun kit from being installed properly. There's just not enough space to attach the electromagnet and refit the motor. The latest Cube's, Haibike's and Pivot's all seem to have more room making the install a bit easier.
