• 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.

Stock vs. tuned bike pedal torque - question

I have a Bosch active line plus motor and made the 'pedal mod', and the torque sensor seems to work differently or more dynamic. Not only more power. When in eco level and I press the pedals in the same relaxed (granma) way as in 'restricted Bosch 25 km/h mode', it doesn't go faster or deliver more power in 'pedal mod' mode, than without Pedal mod. But pressing hard on the pedals the derestricted motor delivers much more power, than it does when pressing hard at the pedals in Restricted stock Bosch mode. I like that more natural dynamic feeling to it. And I guess it has to do with the torque sensor or whatever.

Question: Are there a similar dynamic or "natural" sensation, when using say a Volspeed chip? (OTHER than the added power)
Hope it makes sense.
