Hello i will recieve in few days my 2019 Trek powerfly LT 9 with Bosch performance CX Line motor.
I bought it in Europe so speed limit is 25 kph.
I would like to travel with my ebike to USA and rent a battery there.
In USA, speed limit is 20mph or 32 kph, during this futur trip, is it possible to upgrade the software to get a speed limit at 32 kph and when back home, to downgrade it to return to 25 kph?
I do not want to installation a speedbox or something like that to avoid warranty
Thanks for your help

If it is possible, and TBH I am not sure that it is, you would have to find a dealer who can flash the software to the US spec when you are out there - I would suggest making contact with a Trek dealer in the vicinity of where you are travelling, and asking them if it is possible

I think that's bollocks, it's only firmware.

On a slightly different note, how do you intend to get your bike to the USA? The batteries can't be flown.

It seems a whole lot less hassle just to rent one when you get stateside
