Hi, I want to purchase an eMTB in the UK but want to ensure the motor can have its speed increased from 15.5mph for private off road use. I know there are solutions for every system, but my research shows that not all brands can be derestricted without eventual errors due to anti-tamper software. I am happy with increasing to just 20mph or changing the region.
My research shows the following:
Bosch: Avoid dongles due to eventual error, even after many miles of no problems
Shimano: Software to change region from 25km/h to 32km/h is safe, but not for EP801 and EP6
Yamaha: Dongles available, but little information about long term use from genuine customers.
Brose: No issues with dongles.
Bafang: Very easy to change region and derestrict with software
Giant: Anti Tamper software may eventually brick motor if dongle used.
Is my list correct and what is everyone's experience with the system they used to derestrict? What dongle or software did you use to tune your motor and has it ever caused the anti tamper software to kick in, even after long term use?
Thank you in advance.
