• 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.

Speedi wouldn't work on my 2022 Orbea rise , so printed this up.

Here is a link to a 3D printer stl file which is a kind of copy of a speedi , but not exactly.


Now note that it took me some extra modifications to get it to work on my 2022 Rise , but work IT DOES!
The tight space tolerance between the magnetic sensor and the disc made it just a bit too tight for the speedi.
I also have to say that $119 for 3D printed parts , screws , and a magnet was just a bit much on the too much side.
So it didn't bother me too much when I found my bike didn't work and prompted me to look around.

So if you have a 3D printer or know someone who does. This is a simple print that just might work for you too.

Hope this inspires someone else like it did me.

No one seems too interested , but I figured I'd update this with my findings for anyone who happens upon it in the future.
I'd say the ratio is about 3/4 of original in speed comparison and distance shown on the computer.
I took a known path and truly enjoyed not having the annoying power cutoff at 20mph.
When I did reach 20 on the speedo going down hill , I was peddling so fast I didn't even notice the cutoff.
I have to say , I might have to look into learning 3D design software and print a gear ratio closer to what it appears the Speedi has.
Anyway , hope this helps anyone looking around for alternatives.

Ride on.
 
One last little add on to this post.
Battery drain. While this may seem an obvious price to pay for this modification ,
I feel it needs to be brought up for those who have not yet done the speed derestricting.
It was greater than I expected. Before I'd have 50% to 60% after a 12 mile ride.
( 2022 Rise with 360 Battery , also derestricted from RS to full at 75nm in Trail , 85nm in Boost )
Today , same ride , I ended with about 30%. Didn't realize just how much that 20mph
cutoff meant in this area.
Again , just for those whom have not yet done any of the mods I have.

Ride on

Yes i am interested..
How thick is your printed version of ispeed? The space between sensor and magnet must not more than 5mm
And i persume it is for CentreLock ?
 
Here's the link again:

Reduction gear by jimmyrobbo1590

Yes , the space is extremely tight and could stand for a bit more on the print design. I ended up sanding just a bit for more tolerance. It does center lock somewhat , though I'd say the disc brake bolts contribute to the helping it not rotate as well.

I did not develop this print , I just found and tried it. I do not use it after my experience with the battery drain , which still honestly kinda puzzles me... I see where utilizing the higher speed when possible having higher battery drain , obviously. But the fact that I rarely go above that limit of 20mph , yet still have massively higher battery drain just doesn't make sense to me..:unsure:

The gear meshing isn't the most accurate design , as it has slop in the spacing as well. If I were you , I'd search for other 3D print designs that are a bit more refined , if there are any out there.

Good luck , and let us all know if you have any better results if you venture into this any.
