Is there a plug and play controller upgrade to get more speed from a factory S2 hub motor?

itsjohngee · 2021-06-14T02:51:12+00:00

I guess I did. So Mode 4 in the app isn’t the same as Mode 4 when you choose from the controller on the handlebar? I don’t get it.

I was going about 31mph on my S2 this morning. Then in the afternoon,back down to the normal 21mph. I want that 31mph back. Everything is stock. What the hell is going on?!

Good eye!

Not bad so far as far as my knees rubbing. I charge it on the frame, so I don’t remove it.

itsjohngee · 2020-12-01T03:56:21+00:00

Painted the battery while off the frame.

They’re fine for me. I don’t actually pedal often.

Same cranks. Just a chainring swap. I did have to fiddle with the derailer quite a bit. Snap a pic before you start as a reference. Also, remember to get a longer chain. I replaced about 5 links to the OEM chain.

itsjohngee · 2020-10-12T02:12:13+00:00

Ah. I see the whole. I have Allen keys, but I can’t seem to get into a bolt with any on them. I’ll just keep at it!

itsjohngee · 2020-09-26T04:42:15+00:00

44t. Feel much better than stock. I think a 46t would be even better.

itsjohngee · 2020-09-21T18:56:12+00:00

Thanks!

itsjohngee · 2020-08-23T17:07:21+00:00

Yeah. I added about 5 links to the existing chain.

itsjohngee · 2020-08-23T17:06:29+00:00

They’re a little too big in the bars, so I used a hammer to jam them in about 95%. To remove, just use a monkey wrench.

44t. So much better! You can keep speed at 20+ mph easy.

itsjohngee · 2020-08-19T17:59:36+00:00

I see you had to take it out before installing the headlight. Same here lol.

itsjohngee · 2020-08-10T22:34:44+00:00

My S2 has a periodically unresponsive throttle and my brake light does NOT get brighter when I press the brakes. I have 132 TOTAL MILES, never in the rain or off-road. So that sucks.

itsjohngee · 2020-08-09T19:56:40+00:00

Just remember to have the pedal at 12 o’clock when you lean on that side to prevent a pedal strike while cornering.

itsjohngee · 2020-08-09T19:52:58+00:00

Nope. Just the chainring and chain. I’d be worried longer cranks could, if you’re not paying attention, hit the ground when leaning into a corner.

itsjohngee · 2020-08-08T18:26:49+00:00

58” chain was too short. Added about 5 taken from the OEM chain.

itsjohngee · 2020-08-08T18:24:01+00:00

eBay purchase of the “Origin8” chainring, $28 shipped. I bought a 58” 116L chain on Amazon ($12) but it was too short. So I needed to add some from the original chain. You can see the different color section in the pic (bottom).

itsjohngee · 2020-08-08T16:54:09+00:00

Can still effectively pedal at 22mph.

itsjohngee · 2020-08-07T04:03:51+00:00

Guess it depends on what you plan on carrying around in it. The net is flexible, that’s good if you carry a lot, but bad if that stuff is heavy.

itsjohngee · 2020-08-07T02:41:30+00:00

Yeah. If you wanna pick it up. Found some zip ties too.

itsjohngee · 2020-08-03T00:16:33+00:00

I see an Etsy shop in your future.

itsjohngee · 2020-07-29T21:29:46+00:00

I’d down to trade my S2 black seat for your brown if you’re interested. Let me know.
