Has anyone successfully used STunlocker on EP8 ?

Hi
Has anyone installed ST Unlocker and changed the region to USA from Europe to increase the speed limit on the EP8 motor ?
I have purchased the license but it’s says I have to down grade the firmware to make it work ...... has anyone done this yet ?
happy to do it but don’t want it to cause running issues ...... ?‍

Been on the ep8 site on Facebook. A few are using Stunlocker on the ep8 and say it works fine. Others say that datalog in the motor cannot be scrubbed so warranty would be voided. In conclusion seems like it works fine on the ep8 but there is a load of hooha from some about not being able to clear data log.

Some spanner on the group is saying he's going to microwave his EP8 to wipe it before any warranty work needs done. WTF.

l've got a 2020 STEPS 8000 motor in my new Ebike.
l bought it NOS a few weeks and in my enthusiasm downloaded the latest firmware.

l purchased the Stunlocker app and it worked fine but the premium license part wouldn't work.

l followed the instructions provided by Stunlocker to downgrade the FW from 4.9 to 4.8

After that l was able to buy the premium app, the license download pretty much instantly and l was then able to alter the wheel circumference and set the country to USA.
The wheel circumference was set at 2350mm and l measured the actual figure at 2260mm so l set it to that, l know it's only around 5% but it's nice to get it fully accurate.

The circumference can of course be set to whatever you want, the smaller you
set it the faster the bike will go under motor assistance, but the speedometer won't be accurate.



Obviously l only use the bike in USA mode when l am on private land.

When riding on the street it takes a minute with the app to restore the U.K. speed limit of 15.5mph and can be done out on the trail without any mobile signal
