- Introduction:
This is the era of the RISE of EBIKES, i am a believer ebikes will revolutionise the way we travel - so i decided to jump on the band wagon. I'm based in Australia and recently bought a 2019 Giant Quick E+ where these bikes are limited to 25kph. This is a great setup for a commuting work bike, with wide tyres, mud guards, inbuilt front/back lights. The electronic assist helps tackle hills with ease, but the speedbox 2 modification is something of a different experience.
Have a look at the Speedbox2 modification to see if its something you would want to do. Keep in mind, this modification will void your warranty for your new bike.

Actually looks so fun ....tried an E-bike on holiday last year finally & even tough 25km/h was limit it makes cycling so much more fun especially against wind and hills. Looking to sell my car and buy an E-bike ...cars can be so pricey but I’ll try share my girlfriends
What tuning (if any, I guess none?) is available for "low-end" e-bikes (£400) such as the Alfawise X1 (mine), Fido, etc? I can reach 17MPH which is poop. With pedal-power, I can reach 21 MPH. I get overtaken by pushbikes sometimes. How did you learn how to install the Speedbox? Where can we learn?
great video... love to see summer weather, I'm looking forward to riding my Biktrix Stunner X (750 watt 48v 120 NM torque Canadian made ebike) ... it's -33c here this morning.... Cheers from NW Ontario Canada
Canada the land of cold and gender neutral bathrooms
Awesome bike can’t wait to get mine
Its defintiely makes riding fun,
I have an identical bike and find I can easily get over 100 km (even up to 140 km) on eco mode, but, when you select the high power settings, the battery does drop much more quickly. On the other hand it really is a whole lot of fun when you just let it go. I am extremely happy with mine.
Totally agree! Its a tonne of fun.
Hi Mathew, I've installed the BadassBox 4 Yamaha system to my Giant ebike, it works a treat, haven't had problems since installation.
My average speed is between 25mph and 30mph, not bad for an 65yr old codger like me.
Great work Gareth!
Just curious as to what kind of effort you are putting in around the 30-35kph mark? I'm thinking of getting this bike and derestricting to go to work but dont fancy turning up sweaty.
Hey mate, I'm based in Brisbane, thinking between getting a Trek Powerfly 4 or a cube reaction hybrid pro 500 soon... Should I install the speed box 2? Worth it? 😄
I have the exact same bike and I love it! May I ask you to provide the exact model of speedbox that you used? Is it the "SB2G_2019-1" for "Giant 2019"? I'm a bit confused since it looks like there's also a model for EVO control. Thanks you very much mate!
All right so follow up: I did purchase SB2G_2019-1 kit for my Quick E+ 2019 and it works great.
Matthew, do you have still the automatic mode After installing the speedbox? I‘ve lost it after installation on my Giant trance e+1 pro 2020.
That's amazing. It usually takes me 2 months after winter to get to that speed and hold it there on a regular bike. That's with a full carbon bike with racing wheels of course. I'm a bit jelly over here. :)
Same, i have a carbon road bike as well. I definitely have to work allot harder to get to those speeds. The ebike is allot of fun as well.
I have a carbon road bike too, I can get similar speeds on flat terrain compared to the ebike. but when it comes to hills - the ebike wins hands down.
@@MatthewWong2888 I agree it is in the hills where the ebike really really shines.
I too have a non-ebike carbon road bike that I can actually hit higher top speeds with on flat roads.
I can do 40Km/h on my mountain bike on flat ground unassisted.
Thank you very much I'm a 61 year old male that weighs 320 lb I am going to be purchasing a ebike tomorrow which is the Giant Buffet + 2 your video Sony thank you very much remind me when I was younger man I used to ride your conventional Bikes mountain bikes I've sprayed so much about the Yamaha drive system versus the Bosch drive system it looks very smooth on transition and climb the system you sold me thank you very much video well done
Congratulations on your purchase and great that these ebikes can make you relive your youthful days :)
Hi I have giant fastroad e+ 2 pro 2020 electric flat bar road bike - charcoal which speedbox was best for my bike?so as not to damage the engine
Hello Matthew great video. I have Giant Dailytour E+1 GTS yamaha life motor.. and have a speedbox 3.0 with latest update last week, but my front main Light and the smaller always on light and the small horn are not working. And I think that's causing that the Speedchip 3.0 also not working.. My headlight is a round big Led light on the bike's frame, and can't find datasheet's or manuals off this bike. Do you have any tips for me, how to fix the lightning and therefore also the Speedchip, Thank you so much
Thanks for the video review. The activation is confusing in the instructions and I was uncertain of the moves you made after pressing walk then light then ?down. What is the Down move? How often did you need to repeat the steps as directions with the Speedbox gave me the impression you had to repeat the process.
Hi Peter, ignore what i did in the video - it was my first time. Just press the 'walk' buttom only to turn restriction on/off. By default when you turn the bike On, it should always be 2,5, press the walk and it should display 9,9
I bought a Rove-E Giant bike (a month ago). Giant is not being helpful with letting me know if there are any devices like the one you're showing that will work with my bike. I really don't like their analog controller for the mid-drive motor. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Hey mate, appreciate the video, how is your bike doing now and also what motor and battery was in this
I have a Giant 250W motor
And Giant 500Wh battery, what speeds would I get if I de-restrict this. It’s a giant Dirt-E Pro 2018
Cheers in advance
has anyone figured out how to turn the class 3 bikes(canada 32kph) to the class 1 bikes(usa 45kph). is there a hidden setting or software update someine can do? or do we have to buy the box ior do the pedal trick?
as well, hiw is the bike holding up!?
Thanks for the vid, I'm just about to order one. How much difference does it make to battery life?
I also just ordered one for my giant stance E1+, hopefully i can hit 30mph
That is sick 😆👍
Great video , Gotta get an e bike
boom! its awesome :)
I have an Addmotor M-70 and it runs 30mph without tuning. After setting manual settings in the display it goes 35MPH throttle only and i have been 45+ pedaling as hard as I can.
I am kind of interested in a speedbox for the Bafang motor it has but I don't really think I need the speedbox.
Did you replace your front sprocket? Wanting to go with speedbox 2 on my haibike fullseven, but the front sprocket is a 38 and top geared to match the US limit of 20mph. With the speed box i feel like i’d need to go up to a 42 or 44 to keep cadence matched.
Left mine the same.
replaced my front chainring 48t and made a big difference when I wanted to get out of traffic quick or stay up on a road cycling group ride. Changed to wide gravel drop bars and upgraded shimano grx groupo on it to get a good large cassette in back and could basically do it all after that. Gravel, road etc.

I have a dutch speedbox, could reach 75km/hr .. but in the fitting manual it says to remove the batteryconstruction (move it aside) to fit the chip.. did you (or anyone else) needed to do this??
wich model is exactly your dutch speedbox link please for reach 75km/h ? i want buy it for uber deliveroo bike delivery and I'm very interested thx a lot
we're lucky in NZ ours come stock with a 45kmph limit , I usually hit 35 on the flat riding in eco mode and only use the other modes for hills.
Yes you are lucky , our 25kph is ridiculous, imo 45 kph is a good limit ,
How is your range?
@@duytruongnguyen9700 127km on eco mode
@@leslie7922 you get that distance fully unrestricted on eco mode? That’s good news I though the battery life would fade fast.
@@niblet112 yep I'm now at 96% battery capacity and it's fallen to 123km but still really decent. I can do my work to home loop which is 11.5km each way so 23km total with about 230m vertical gain (this munches the battery cause the hill is steep as f so I use normal or sport mode) 3 full loops on a single charge. On flats I can bike the full 123km no worries its pretty much bang on km to km. Altho when rolling you use no power but then I have an integrated headlight which saps a bit more so yeah
A have a problem with mine.The control panel is switch on and cant off the bike...Only eco mode.Mb anyone knows about that sht?
Is that with the Yamaha pw-x
Hi Matthew. I'm keen to know a bit more. Did you order the product on-line? I've got the Yamaha Syncdrive Pro 2019 on a GIANT Trance E+ 3. Also, did you already have the Giant display? I don't have one. I assume you would need a display to know if the limit has been de-activated. I've tried finding how to get a display, but not much info about. Cheers . Hugh
Giant sells the displays on their website.
$253 from a guy in Port Douglas. Delivers the badass box in 2 days flat!
Your bike still going strong, my giant fathom is, derestricted, just wondering how long I'll get out of it before I need a new motor?
Normaly with big use 3-5 years !
How you like the bike otherwise? I am buying 1.5 in the winter?
Its a great bike for what i need, to commite to work and home, It gets me to work just as fast as public transport in peak hour.
I'm looking at buying a 250watt Yamaha giant but can't find any good bids on hills. I'm 280 pounds. Will it be strong enough. Please help. Lol
Hey Mathew just put a badasss box 4 on my Giant Mountain Bike, made a great bike brilliant. Just wondering if yours is going well and motor lasting. Cheers Andrew
Nearly been a year since i've installed and have been commuting to work regularly on it and absolutely no problems. Just make sure you still take your bike in for the regular service, similar to a car.
@@MatthewWong2888what about now 😊
Hi Matt, thanks for the video. I just purchased the same model this week for commuting to work (around 25km return trip). I only notice the boost when I take of from stationary position or going uphill and slow down pedaling to under 15km/h, other than that if there's pedal assist, I don't notice it. I have to pedal really hard to even get to 25km/h speed. Is this normal for this particular model and is there any way I can check if bike is running as it's supposed to? It's the first e-bike i have tried so I don't have any reference point to compare with. Thanks!
Power on, and then press the lights button 5 times.
Did you mod your bike with the Speedbox 2 unit? Regardless if you did, the pedal assist should behave the same, the only difference is it dosent cut off at 25km/h. The bike has a few pedal assist modes - eco, normal, sports, sports+ if you have the bike in eco/normal i find i do have to pedal allot harder. Generally, its not the quickest accelerating ebike out there if thats what you were expecting.
@@MatthewWong2888 His bike is stuck in factory mode - with or without Speedbox it will top out at 15-18km/h. Apparently, my previous comment is the way to fix it.
Something may be wrong with your sBike but you are unclear on what is happenning. Go see your LEBS for some help.
Pls help me set my dirt e to 45 km/hr,,, actual is 25 km/hr...
Hi so I have a giant 2020 e+ stance bike. It has no screen on it and uses ride control one. I bought a speed box to unlock it. The speed box hooks up just fine. However when I turn it on with the ⬆️⬇️ ⬆️⬇️ that is used on bikes with no display, it doesn’t work. The bike rides perfectly fine but when I hit 20 mph (the maximum legal speed). One of the lights on the ride control one config lights up red and flashes and motor support is throttled and turns off. From online research I have discovered this means there is a speed sensor issue and taking out the speed box 2 fixes the problem but then I am limited to 20mph and that really sucks. Is there anyway I can solve this problem with the speed box 2 or should I try purchasing another hacking kit?
Did you buy the correct speed box as there is older versions of the Yamaha drive, ive just ordered the speedbox 2.0 for my stance E+ but i made sure i ordered the 2017-2020 motor version?
kali Exclusive yes I ordered the same one as you did. It doesn’t work on my bike, but I actually don’t need help anymore. I watched a TH-cam video on how to unlock it for free. All you have to do is move the speed sensor closer to the crank and put the magnet on the inside of the crank. The magnet has to be close enough to the sensor so that each rpm is read by the magnet. You can never turn the crank fast enough to make the sensor think your hitting 20 mph, since the back wheel turns at insanely higher rpms. Therefore the bike is fully hacked and gives full motor support. There is a video on how to do this on TH-cam, the guy has a different giant bike but the concept is the same and works on my 2020 e+.
is that compatible with my 2021 Giant Trance E+2? has Giant Syncdrive Pro motor.
Yes I have a speedbox 2.1 with my syncdrive
Sure is. You want Speed Box 2.1 for giant motor systems 2017 - 2021 :)
U 👀 like Superman on that Bike. That’s got to be fun
Boom! its awseome!
Hi man i have 2021 giant trance e+ 29 does this thing works on my bjke? Thanks
up
@@Artczis sorry?
Have you changed gearing or still stock?
Still stock gears, i need to look into upgrading them :)
I have the same bike US version and is limited to 28mph (45kph) from the factory i have seen someone on internet removing the limit and reaching 40mph.
45kph is the max design speed of the motor itself and the gearing, dont waste your money on a chip
Not a chip. It is relocating the speed sensing magnet and reader and fooling the bike ita doing slower than what it is
the battery goes pretty quick, about 1km per minute......so you can drive aprox 1 hour on full battery
haha, If it is possible to ride non stop and maximum output, then that would make sense. typically there's allot of stop/start riding through a city. I can get over 100km in distance on eco or up to 60km on sports+ in an urban environemnt.
I am a little curious. I also have the same Giant 2019 Quick E Plus bike and have a Speedbox 2 fitted. The performance does not seem to be anywhere near as dramatic as you have demonstrated. It still seems to offer some resistance once I get over 25 kph, although it is possible to ride faster. Are there any suggestions you might be able to share to get the best experience ? It also seems that you cannot operate the Speedbox without having the headlight on. Is there any way around that ?
You probably did see the speed varies in the video around 25 - 45kph, i found it a little bit harder on the high end mainly because i topped out in gears and i was pedalling furiously - but i was by no means exerting myself. If i was on my road bike, i'll be working pretty hard to even maintain 40kph, but i was having no troubles on the ebike. You probably know as a cyclist there are lots of factors that affect speed, such as the wind drag from your body, your fitness level and weight, These will still have an impact on a pedal assist ebike as well as a road bike in my opinion. I might look more into gear combinations to see what i can do to get more speed gains :)
@@MatthewWong2888 I don't think I changed anything, but it is going amazingly well now - I am really happy with the performance.
hi i have speedbox2 and yes I feel the resistance above 25kph but it is much much less than when the speedbox was not installed yet. topped 45kph with the speedbox. could top around 37kph with speedbox turned off.
@@robbielg I have changed my mind now. It is now working as it should and I can easily reach 40 kph in "normal" mode. I have no desire to go any faster. Most of the time I leave it in the restricted mode anyway.
@@warbyghost yes I too can reach 40kph easy but I cannot seem to go faster than around 48kph
I have to say first of all, thank you. This is probably the best demo I've seen of someone derestricting an eBike so far on YT. I have a Bosch motor. Just wondering if this works on the Bosch at all?
Yes, there's a speedbox for Bosch as well.
Hello. In some markets limit is at 45km\h. I just ordered my giant e-road+1 pro. I have seen that some forums mention that speed limit can be adjusted ( increased) by clicking 5 times on light button. Is that true?
from what I have read that is to enable/disable a restricted demo mode that bike shops use. From memory, it restricts the assisted speed to 15kmh
@@paradice2525 is not possible tonincrease limit over the stock factorybsetting. For example mine's 27 km/h. I tried all the possibilities. Ended using a speed sensor fooler from ebay at around 90 euro. Does the job.
Hi Matt saw your video. You actually went pass my dad’s house lol. Im thinking about getting an ebike. Either a giant fastroad e or the quick e. Any possibility connecting via email to get your opinion. Thanks heaps.
Lol, no worries. Happy to chat about ebikes with you. Can you PM me through youtube?
Hey there I wish you could show a video on how to Install the speed box because I have the same giant model E bike as you
Hi there, the website does have an install video - Install Yamaha Syncdrive (th-cam.com/video/JIWvDsO96-w/w-d-xo.html) i followed this to work out how to install myself.
@@MatthewWong2888 The link seems to be broken. Can you check it for me please?
Actually it did work but it is for another model not the Fastroad E+ EX. Is there a different video for this model?
Can this be fitted to my 2019 fastroad?
the 2019 quick e & fastroad e share the same motor, i.e. Giant SyncDrive Sport, powered by YAMAHA. Make sure you get the SpeedBox2 for GIANT 2019. maybe check with their support just to make sure.
I believe so, the 2019 fast road also uses the Yahmaha sync drive. just make sure you buy the 2019 GIANT speedbox2 mod.
I was at giant bike store a few months ago talking about removing limit and the employee told me if I remove the speed limit the bike motors will break after a few months because he has customers coming in having problem with motor breaking because customers removed the speed limit. I don't know if that's true or he's just trying to prevent me from breaking the law. But how is your bike's motor speed holding up now?
Motor is still going strong on my bike, I’ve even modified the front chain ring to a 50T. In NZ this bike is sold unrestricted or 40km/h, the 25km/h limit is only on AU models.
@@MatthewWong2888 How many KM can your bike cover going 46-50km/h non stop?
Only 27 mph?
Hi Matt, I'm in Australia also and was wondering where you purchased the Speedbox 2? I consistently ride around 30km/h average on my commute so the 25km/h limit is just useless. Makes it just a heavier bike I have to pedal lol.
It just means after 25kph, you're doing all the hard work. Keep in mind when you install the Speedbox 2 it will void your warranty so you'll need to be ok with that. I got mine from this website - www.speedbox-tuning.com/
Thanks Matt, appreciated 👍
@@MatthewWong2888 Could you disconnect the Speedbox and they would never know you had it connected?
@@garrymullins Yes they would. The internal motor computer has the data that cannot be wipe as far as I know.
Hi nice video. I have a bike with Bafang 750 watt motor 20 Amp LG battery. It does 40kmh. I want something that goes faster. Have been on speedbox2 for a while now. But you are no longer up to 48kmh. How fast is the bike going? Many nice electric bikes. I have a Cruiser. Lots of video on my channel. Not long ago I was cycling and it was a long and cold winter trip. Much money if I want to buy a new bike + speedbox2 for only and increase the speed a few kilometers. My cruiser does 40Kmh.
Giant is reliable. The speed box 2 will not hurt the Quick e+. It was designed to go 28mph. However Britain and the Australian Government states that their citizens can only go 15 mph on government roads and bike paths. Yamaha engines are Solid. I live in the states I purchased a 2019 Quick e+. At stock goes 28mph. U will be fine
The Ginal Quicke+ basically tops out at around 40-45km/h, but that mainly due to the gearing groupset. Have you seen the VoltXT1600, this can easily go up to 60km/h its on another video i posted - th-cam.com/video/vLAv21wD6NE/w-d-xo.html
It was a fantastic video! I Love to se a bike so fast. One day I will bay It. 60-90Kmh.
Tried two of these boxes (assumed the first one was faulty) on a Giant FastRoad E+ EX Pro 25km/h 2020 and they both dont work - maybe 2020s do? but this one doesn't with this unit. Also getting the goddamn box into the engine bay is an absolute mission, prepare for scratched parts/ strippped bolts - I am pretty handy and it was an absolute mission (probably more that i had to do it 10 times ha - and make sure you have a crankwheel tool as its super hard without one - I think I will get the badassbox instead, incorrect speed readings but it will be delimited.
I havent tried the Baddassbox, so cant really comment. I do know you need to make sure you get the correct speedbox year to suit the right bike model year. i.e 2018 speedbox might not work on a 2019 model bike. Best to ask their Support.
Agree, its a mission getting that little box into the frame, and make sure you use the right tools.
@@MatthewWong2888 Thanks for the reply bud - it wasnt a badass box - it was the speedbox 2! And its apparently compatible with 2020
How is the reliability of the motor after tuning it? Is it still as good as new?
I've had no problems at all.
ive had it on for nearly a year - absolutley no problems. These motors are designed for 40kph+, its only in AU they restrict them.
Matthew Wong ended with peartune,
Same thing really so far so good
@Singing Magpie nah that's not true at all. We'd love 45kph ebikes over here!
@Singing Magpie it's like everything else. If everyone started using 45kph ebikes, the government would react and look at legislations, like they've started trials with electric scooters as they've become popular.
The only problem is this, the battery won’t last that long, due to its constant use, where as, at 15.5 mph, the momentum pushes it to 16.5, freeing the need for battery power, and also resting the motor ( so less stress on both battery and motor )
But aren’t you covering a longer distance because you are travelling faster. So it evens itself out?
How is your Quick E + holding up?
Absolutely no problems, its been coming upto a year. They actually sell this bike in some countries unrestricted to 40km/h. only in australia they restrict it to 25km/h
I purchased one ☝️in July. I have the unrestricted Quick E+. I live in 🇺🇸. I have 600 Miles on the bike. Only maintenance I’ve done was a chain and sprocket cleaning with dry lube on the chain. I removed the chain to clean it because the chainring doesn’t go in reverse for the park tools cleaning kit. One thing I do is to let the motor cool down on a long ride before I head back home. This will extend the life of the motor. I do this on hot days when the motor is working extra hard. I seen a guy on TH-cam who explains how to prolong the life of an e bike motors so u don’t have to have an early motor overhaul which will only be motor bearing, gear replacement, and rubber seal replacement. The job is not that hard.
Enjoy ur bike for 10,000 Miles
P.S. I love the Schwalbe Off Road Tires. They grip so good and help with bumps on the road. Those tires save me from 2 close calls. Guy bumped my handle bars and a rock caused my tire to slip in a turn at 18 mph😇
@@MatthewWong2888 Not only in AUS, in complete Europe all eBikes are restricted to 25 km/h. If you want faster, you need registration plate, vehicle is no longer a bicycle in the face of a law, forbidden to use bike paths, etc...
55km/h has been about my max but you do not need a speedbox2 , you can just move the magnet and sensor placement (put the magnet on peddle) your speed will not read right but I just use my phone gps speedometer (will show around 11km/h while you are doing closer to 50km/h)

@@rickasdnorth I get close to 100km on eco mode
my bike is a giant fathom e3 29er
update - I regularly get over 100km on eco mode with one or 2 bars left
Yesterday I rode the Murray to The Mountains Rail Trail from Bright to Wangaratta, covering almost 90 km, and used 54% of the battery. I was not always riding conservatively either,especially on the climb up to Gapstead.
I have a NZ model of exact same bike limited to 45km/h, I can ride for an hour (about 43kms distance) at top speed max assist, with mix of hills and flats.
I wonder how much stress on the bike and the motor this speed box 2 will cause if any, but speeds of 45km/hr are pretty fast on a bike if you can maintain it, how quick your battery goes empty?
I see you lost 7% of your battery in that ride so it does eat the battery, do you have 500 watts or 400? Thumbs up!
In some countries (i.e. New Zealand and South Africa) these bikes come standard with a 45km/h limit, in Australia they limit ebikes by law, to 25km/h for Safety reasons, so i think the Yamaha can defintiely handel the extra load. The 2019 model all come with a 500w battery. Good observation the battery loss, in Sports+ it drains the battery much quicker - kinda makes sense if the motor is always engaged, i can still get travel distance wise 60kms on a full battery with Sports+ though mostly through flat terrain.
in Holland these bikes are also available in 45k's phr

Ok thanks, but which www?
Does it destroy the range?
the longer you engage the motor, it will keep drawing from the battery, so Yes it will. I used 50% battery on max setting over 20km range pedaling hard. i also used 50% on normal and got up to 60km range strolling casually. So depends on how hard you ride it.
@@MatthewWong2888 can you still use eco,tour settings? Or do they not work now?
@@niblet112 eco option is still avalible on my bike.
Brutal ;-)
Did you have any issues with the install?
If you follow the TH-cam video it's pretty straight forward. I found some screws were tough to get out, so have a torque wrench handy. I also found you don't really need to take out all the wires, there is one main large connector, and the other is the speed sensor which is already out. Then its a tough job putting all the wires back in, there isn't much space, but if your patient, its no problem.
Matthew Wong how long did it take you? It looks pretty awesome once it’s in!
It took me just over 2 hours to install, if you knew what you were doing, definitely under an hour. 25km/h limit is just too slow.

Hi could you speed box to my bike for me
Hi, im based in Australia, where abouts do you live?
Producent: No ride faster than 25kmh, that's illegal
This guy:
You're never speeding with your car as well ?? That's also illegal
Most cars have speed limit around 250km\h but in most countries legal speed around 150km\h. And nobody want to call this illegal
Also the Lycra cyclists average 20-25 mph with minimal effort.
Holy shit 🤣
Ebikes are definitely cool. But the main downside for me is that you can’t travel internationally with them. Airlines will not allow that large a battery on the plane. Which sucks, cause i do a lot of international touring.
I would think you could fedex the battery to your destination. Remember that many battery packs are now LiFePo4 chemistry, relatively safe.
G Henrickson the limit for lithium batteries on commercial airlines is 100-160 watt hours. Most electric bike batteries are 300-500 watt hrs. I don’t know about fedexing it to your destination. But if you are touring in Europe, it’s probably better just to rent electric bikes there.
@@geraldhenrickson7472 Maybe you have a business idea right there. ebike share app anyone? :)
@@BikeTall totally agree. I find there are more rental places offering ebikes. I still like my ebike share app :)
"if you are touring in Europe" - one option would be train. Also more environmental, although a bit slower.
I didn’t know people drive on the opposite side of the road in Australia 🇦🇺!!
Our toilets also spin clockwise, which way does yours spin :)
And NZ I believe.
@@svenlima What a weird country you have ;p Have you seen Australian Drop Bears? We have them as pets.
Hi Matt. I had a look on ebiketuning website and there are two models. My bike is a 2019 Quick E+ in the light grey/white colour. Just want to check with you which Speedbox 2 did you purchase. They are: www.ebiketuningshop.com/shop/yamaha/speedbox-2-yamaha-giant-2019.html and www.ebiketuningshop.com/shop/yamaha/speedbox-2-y-syncdrive-sport.html Thanks!
this is the one i got - www.speedbox-tuning.com/p/speedbox2-for-giant-2019
My concern is the brakes not being up to the job at those speeds. I've done 50km/h downhill on my mountain bike a few times. But doing it every day?
I can see from that video that the braking performance isn't inspiring confidence.
I can reach 33mph on the flat with my e-bike with no assistance I cant imagine how much I'd get with motor assistance also I also have 70 psi slick schwalbe tyres which help alot and clip on peddles and Ive had the gearing upgraded I can hit 41 mph down hill so far but with my new gearing I still have alot of peddling to do in last gear think the bike could be good for 50 mph I'm using 48/11 tooth final gearing 9 speed altus cassette
that sounds super fast 40MPH thats like 64KPH!!!! what bike do you have?

I have a Giant Quick E+ 2018 that is limited to 45km/h. It is pretty amazing - it doesn’t feel as fast as your video looks! But, I guess that is an effect of the camera placement. So, does your bike continue to deliver pedal assistance beyond 45km/h with this mod? On my bike, the pedal assist ‘back off’ from about 43km/h and then there is nothing once one passes 45km/h. I commute about 50km a day (25 km each way) from the Cape Town coast to a University town called Stellenboch over some pretty steep terrain. My Giant is amazing! I love the bike! Great value for money and rock solid. Here’s a video. th-cam.com/video/ompPGai9JIA/w-d-xo.html Thanks for your video!
Hi Dion, that's lucky you don't need to modify yours. It hard to tell, but i believe it does continue to deliver power beyond 45km/h. Its hard to tell because the gears top out at around 45km/h and you need to really up your cadence. It's really great commuting bike!
Sounds so good! How long does that commute take you (each way)?
Tutere Durie it takes about 40 minutes each way. It is quite a hilly area with some steep climbs in both directions (I have to pass over a mountain range to work, and back home again). The Giant is amazing!
Hi Dion. Still doing it or bought a motorcycle???
Its like cheats on old consoles up, up, down, A, A, B, left, right, CHEAT MODE ACTIVATED XD
Hey Matthew I have the Giant Explore E+ 1 GTS. and I watched this vid for a similar Giant th-cam.com/video/HeDUBsA-HiY/w-d-xo.html I had real problems last time i tried to access all bolts to drop the engine to get to wiring. Did you have any difficulty getting to all the bolts by shifting the chain ring around? I gave up. This video has inspired me to have another go.
There are old cyclists and there are bold cyclists but significantly fewer old and bold cyclists and this speed mod is not going to change that.
you can really drive 140 km in eco? is that a marketing trick?
Eco mode is pretty much no-help what so ever, so yeah you can drive 140km, but it's basically like riding a heavy bike without engine.
i'd say realisically around 100-120kms.
no, yes
I rode with the bunch the other day on %5 most of the way, just got over 100kms.
@@nomansland120 Not true !!!! I have a 2020 Giant Explore E+ 0 PRO GTS, and ECO mode supports you with 100% on top of your input. So if your power is X, final output on the crank is X * 2. This is already an amazing support!!!! I did a test ride a few days ago, 45 km + 1060 m climbing, all in ECO mode, battery left was 52%. Model is with 625 Wh battery.
I hope you advocate eBikers do not flaunt this added speed by passing everything in sight with a grin. The level of animosity towards ebikes is rising here in Utah at an exponential rate. We are now getting tickets is exceeding 20 mph on the street OR dedicated bike path. It is getting bad in Oregon also. Kinda sad. I think if we show no restraint, eBikes will become illegal.
Agree. Safety should be first and foremost and road rules should apply to cyclist. Currently, aerodynamics and weight of ebikes will naturally restrict you to less than 40kph or 20mph. You find you can also achieve those speeds quite easily on a light carbon road bike.
It’s like a zombie apocalypse...absolutely no people. Don’t Aussie’s like to go outside? Dogs? Walking?
You’re playing with your life going low speeds down residential streets a car could pull out of nowhere and you would be a Gonna
No where near 99 kmph what a scam all that monies fo a extra 15 kmph why bother B.S.
Pretty lame. Hard to imagine the leg move with the highest cadence available.
lol not over 50kmt. And this is a 99kmt speed box tuning. Tump down 4 you mate...
Haha.. the 99km/h only really means the speed limit is unrestricted. The bikes restricted by design in the gearing groupset, a bigger front chain rink would be nice, the bike probably needs to shed some weight as well, and more torque from the yamaha motor :) i wanted to go 99km/h - its called a motorcycle :) Have you heard of the Volt XT1600? watch this - th-cam.com/video/vLAv21wD6NE/w-d-xo.html fastest ebike i've ridden.
Why don't you just buy a motor bike, it's cheaper. Youd also have some sensible rules, training and insurance.
And if someone pulls out in front of you, will you die immediately, or will you cost taxpayers (and insurance payers!) a heap with your hospital/doctors salaries?
Hi Matt, Gary from Cape Town South Africa as well. I bought a Giant Quick-E+ 2018 in December 2018 from Canada and imported to South Africa. In Canada it is limited to 32km/h. I commute to work and back every day 17.5km per trip, Blouberg to Paarden Eiland. Love the Giant Quick-E+ 2018 bike, quality comes at a price and worth it compared to a cheap chinese or modified normal bikes that will give you issues. I used the magnet to pedal trick and am now getting 45km/h and it is just awesome. Uses more battery but all good as short commute trips and on the way home i turn off the motor to get a work out. My concern was also that the higher speed and risks to the Yamaha motor or parts, but as you pointed out the Giant E-bikes are sold in South Africa and by default go 45km/h so i have also concluded that same assumption that its safe. I am also fortunate to be able to cycle on a dedicated bicycle double lane all the way to work so i am totally off the main roads which does reduce the ca risk. Loving my Giant and thanks for the video.
Not even close to how much billions asshat motorists like you cost the taxpayer in infrastructure & maintenance, let alone the needless deaths caused by douchebag drivers like you.
Nope. Injuries are unwelcome at any time so your concern should be with those who pull out in front of someone. Besides, speed delimiters are illegal almost everywhere and are never used on the street or trail. well...maybe occasionally...kinda...sorta
@@josephfarrugia2350 Nice comeback. Asshat douchebags? Surely you can respond with hanging out all your laundry?
I'd apply the brakes.
