• 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.

Speed Limit - Motor Drag?

Question - Any way to unlock the speed limit? I feel like as soon as I stop peddling I lose speed that I need for hitting bigger jumps. It's more like drag than losing speed but in the end it's the same - is this a function of the detuned EP8 RS? Also wondering if unrestricting the motor would help - however not sure if I wan to mess with it.
BTW- Love me M-team Mullet. Put on a DVO Topaz rear shock rides super plush. Went with 160mm front and rear now.
