Warning!!

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.

I would like to know what riders feel is best for increasing restricted top speed motor support. Software or Mechanical , like SpeeDi vs eMax?

Has anyone here tried both to compare by chance?

I'm inclined to not spend the money as I feel it's not what I'm really looking for. But at the same time , after increasing my Orbea Rise to 85Nm torque and 10 for Boost , I have to say it may be on the horizon for me , so your opinions would be appreciated.

Ride on
