Can the original e30 be made to go any faster?

OK – so I know my e30 will do 14 miles (roughly) on a charge at the current top speed of around 28mph…

On the e30 CITY you can go red and if you have disconnected the cable go faster than that I believe… but is there any such option on the original e30?

I know this will make the range shorter but when I am only going 10 miles, I would rather get there faster than have 4 to spare 🙂

I doubt it Dominic, the Model 30 City has a higher wattage motor, so the extra push on the red setting is opening up those extra watts.

If you are brave you could try over volting by adding another 12v but it might simply fry the controller, or the in-built protection may shut the controller down.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your suggestion – but I think that may not be a good idea… at least the bike is usable at the moment – would not want to risk blowing the motor entirely…
