Hi from an ebike newbie

[robmsharp]

Hi, after many years of cycling an ordinary bike i thought id buy an ebike on my companies cycle to work scheme.
I got a Giant Entour and after 36 miles or so im becoming frustrated with the max speed limiting me to 16mph or so. Its a proper work out to attempt to go faster. Searching on this forum and others it seems that there was a process for removing the speed limiter by a series of key presses on the ride controller but this feature seems to have been removed.
Seeing as this bike model is sold all over the world and countries have different limits it makes sense to me that this limit would be configurable. Can anyone advise on this? Thanks in advance.

Its a proper work out to attempt to go faster.

That's good news, you'll be able to tell people truthfully its not cheatinh and you're still getting a work out.

Being serious for a moment, tweaking it to go faster is illegal if used on the road, Giant don't have the best reputation for their warranty and if on the C2W scheme the bike isn't yours yet.
