• 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.

Best motor to derestrict

This is not miss information I was advised not to fit a speedbox by the shop I bought the bike from as it would burn the motor out at high speed and also be dangerous altering the speed of the bike.
50k km bosch motor with Volspeed chip, hasn't burned anything. Low speed is much more dangerous if you do any rides with traffic imo

65nm performance non cx. Older one.
Thanks. I did wonder. I’m just looking to get an eMTB so all knew to me. Is there much trade off to only having 65nm to say 100/120 in likes of the latest Bosch, is it very noticeable. Guess it’s a trade off not being so restricted off road. I’m reading get the Gen5 though as 4 can be noisy etc

Depends on what you do with it, more power/torque is always better. You don't have to use it if you don't want to. Older bosch is noisy but not unbearable.
