• Warning!!

    Riding a tuned or deristricted EMTB is not a trivial offence and can have serious legal consequences. Also, many manufacturers can detect the use of a tuning device or deristricting method and may decline a repair under warranty if it was modified from the intended original specification. Deristricting EMTB's can also add increased loads for motors and batteries. Riding above the local law limit may reclassify the bike as a low-powered bike, requiring insurance, registration and a number plate.

    Be aware of your local country laws. Many laws prohibit use of modified EMTB's. It is your responsibility to check local laws. Ignoring it, has potential implications to trail access, and risk of prosecution in the event of an accident.

Hemu said:

Hi, so to confirm, you have a Wild LT that you VPN’d and it has not worked and not gone over 25kph?
Does it show the class 1 or 3 option in the menu now but stuck at 25kph?

I am just double checking, my mate has a Crestline and he just did the VPN and now has both class 1 and 3 on his menu, and it worked

I appreciate your confirmation. What country are you?

there is one fully e-mnt that is able to get a number plate. its the frey... a dinosaur in my eyes. a wopping 30kg without batrery.

As I am stuck in the 25kmh trap... if you want the option to unlock, go with an amflow. it has the international firmware an is therefore unlokable. don't touch anything german as I did with the steppenwolf.

That is an interesting suggestion that people interested in Avinox (a DJI brand) motored bikes go for an Amflow (another DJI brand), due to unique international firmware. I was aware that the new Orbea Avinox equipped bike had custom Orbea firmware, but had assumed that the firmware on all the other 3rd party Avinox bikes had the same sort of firmware as the Amflows sold in their country.

So, am I correct in understanding that, for example, a person in the UK or France, who buys a bike with Avinox motor from Propain, Atherton, Teewing, etc...who then brings it to America (or uses a VPN to simulate an American location) and wants to swap to American firmware will not be able to do so, because Avinox has locked that bike down with locally specific firmware, but a person from those same countries who buys an Amflow and brings it to America (or uses a VPN to simulate an American location) will have no problem switching to American firmware?

I see reports of Crestline buyers from Europe/UK who are able to switch to American settings, but perhaps that is because Crestline is an American brand? If that is the case, I wonder about people in Europe/UK who buy a Pivot or other 3rd party American brand. Either way, that would be pretty interesting if DJI was giving a sort of unique international motor firmware capability only to buyers of Amflows, but locking buyers with 3rd party bikes down to the firmware region in which the bike was sold.

I asked my salesman exactly this since Android has often such shenanigans. He assured me there is no such thing... thanks for that 😒

I found the same. VPN gives you additional options in the menu but charging the speed limit does nothing in reality. Must be baked in to the firmware of these new M2S motors

I managed to derestrict my new Amflow PX the other day, I've added the steps I took in this post...

Hi gang, I’ve got the M2S in the UK, set up via VPN set to the USA and the menu reflects this with the 15/20/25 speed limit options in the menu, but in any of these, it’s still limited to 15.5 - what’s going on?! Many thanks if you can shed any light

Hi!
I’m about to buy a reason AL 05.
What’s your bike firmware and app version? Did you install the app already with the vpn on? On an IPhone?
Thank you!
 
Iphone. Installed Nordvpn set to NZ, paired the bike, everything worked. Later I updated the app and two firmware updates using the VPN, just in case. Now I'm on the latest software versions and everything works perfect except that I can't upload the routes to Strava.
