Giant talon e 2017 speed unlock

[beanbag24]

Hello all I'm looking for the best way to unlock the limiter on my giant talon e 2017 I'm in the UK and the 15.5 mph limit is driving me insane. After 1200 miles on it I would like to get a bit more speed as I use it for my commute to work

If you had the bike from new that's 1,200 miles in the ~8 years since 2017/2018 which is about 150 miles a year.

And that's "driving you insane"? wtf

Are you commuting on public roads, bridleways, designated cycle routes, or whatever?

I'm mostly on designated cycle routes with a few areas I need to cross over roads

I don't know about the best, but some people opt for PLANET3 and they're happy with the compromise. I say compromise because on Giant e-bikes the ratio limits the speed increase to 50% (1.5:1 ratio) because of safety concerns that came with Giant's 2023 firmware update and the dreaded 6A error, but it's also not a pulling-teeth experience of trying to fit a chip with all new connectors under the motor and having panic attacks in the middle of the process. I've tried it myself and it's not that big a deal if you're pedantic and take your time, but I've also seen some people try to fit a chip to Giant and give up and come begging for help on FB groups and forums. To each his own.
