Alright dude, this is what you need to do. In Cuba people have been able to upgrade their e-bikes by doing one of two things: OPTION 1: getting a control box (like the one you were trying to connect) which performs for a HIGHER voltage motor. i.e: your e-bike have a 72V motor. What you need to do is to get a controller box developed for higher voltages motor. Or, OPTION 2: You get a lower voltage motor (and this is the most common way to upgrade your e-bike in Cuba) i.e. Your motor is 72V so your controller box. In that case what you need to do is to get a 60V motor and let your controller box (nothing bad is going to happen) By doing it people in Cuba have been able to reach speeds from 80 to 120 Km/h. Also those e-bikes have another problem: their practical range. How far could you get with that one? I bet you never far away than 70 Km. Well, in that case what you need to do is to get another battery and make a connection so you can ADD the current of both batteries. Those batteries commonly are of 72V/20Ah, 72V/30Ah, 72V/35Ah, 72V/45Ah. I bet yours is 72V/20 or 35Ah (with 35Ah your range goes up to almost 100 Km.) So what you need to do is to get a 45Ah battery to increase the range. Any other question don't hesitate to get in touch. Good luck with that e-bike!!
Ok. Seller opens a new account and posts some more fake reviews to jumpstart his new business. Now what? What you can do is simply not but from China as 80% of those people are looking to maximize profits or any of these middle man websites.

Look into your shipment if the guy send you any usb dongle, if not, ask him for a USB debug cable. 3. Get the software, I can send you the dropbox link if you like The speed limiter is done inside the configuration software. This motor and controller is fully capable of 150kph or more with 100A current.
I am a Chinese. Usually we use the best product for ourselves. But your foreign business man like to buy the cheapest product. And then go back to sell to you as the normal price or more expensive. This is your business fault, not Chinese product fault. Because the best products usually are also from China, such as iPhone or others. On the other hand, many country's company like to produce goods in China. And then only use himself brand. So i want to say all good or bad products are from China. Just from your choice.
Not sure if you've tried this already or its been recommended. Since your programming controller is connecting via a serial connection over USB make sure you are plugged into a USB 2.0 port and not a 3.0 port. While USB 3.0 is technically backwards compatible ive had issues just like this which were fixed by using a different usb port.
Turn the bike on while connecting it🤦🏼♂️ it’s like plugging up a iPhone charger into a Mac book and u have to part the charger into the phone and turn the phone on so u can transfer your stuff
Will they though? I bought a faulty charger on ali-express, and even with full video documentation of it being faulty (including me using 2 different volt meters and demonstrating that my testing equipment worked) they gave me half my money back, with the explanation "you can still use the charger." I couldn't use the charger as it 100% didn't work, which I very well demonstrated on video....so even if this guy has all of this on video demonstrating that it's faulty, they might not care. It's probably a good first step to try, but expecting a quick and good resolution might be a stretch.
@@BillyBob-ib5df Is that based on personal experience or is that an overarching statement without the benefit of any actual interaction with Alibaba? Believe it or not there are Chinese companies that have good customer service. My friend fixes laptops and trying to fix and get parts from Apple is like pulling teeth but dealing with Lenovo (yes, a Chinese company) is simple.
I say that because of personal experience, not only me but a few of my friends too. I know a few people from China (personally) and very important people, the business world, even one of my costumers is from Germany and he is doing all business from China and he himself told me few things how China trade is working, will be really smart to report this company what they did to you and especially on Aliexpress site, so they can take care of that , and you will see its working.
hey i actually had one of theses sold it and got a faster one but the speed is in direct relation to the motor generally so if its stuck at 70 kmh thats a 2000w motor sorry the seller definitely scammed you
Dude do a charge back every damn thing is in your favor plus banks dont make you ship the bike back because of the cost at least not my bank chase I'm screaming through the screen ChargeBack Not As described
wide awake nothing wrong with him if he did one video and asked for his money back you would not have returned to watch a second video The story would have ended there several videos equal more views simple as that
@@GigabyteWorld but not my plan. I'm not the guy to ask for money back unless I am SURE it's the wrong product. And these videos are filmed live, so I was literally doing all this yesterday.
Bank will pretty much *never* make you give the product back, but that's not *their* problem, it's the seller's problem. Their problem is solving the dispute, and if you didn't get the actual product you paid for, you get your money back. Getting the product back, or the *correct amount of money* out of you, is all on the seller.
Crypto Man that’s what I mean, you can tell just from looking at it that’s it’s a very low budget item, yet still surprised that it doesn’t do what it says on the box
@stephen kroll my old Honda NSR 125 R from 1989 had a max speed of 160 kph. My fastest 125cc i ever had. One of the fastest 125 bikes in the world. 1989 Models cames from Italy with Racing Modificaton.
yeah man, add some edelbrock heads, maybe 1.6 roller rockers, change out the cam to solid lifter with more duration and lift, change out the intake & jets on the carb then finish it off with more spark, more timing and some headers to dump all that extra air you'll be moving...
It's definitely the controller. Most stock EVs come with lower powered controllers. If you are upgrading go for a new Kelly controller and possibly a motor (qs motor 260 - 20kw for 160km/h). I bought one of these cheap bikes specifically to mod them up with the parts I mentioned.
@@mothafus Correct, I'm just saying that if the specs of the controller is correct and no corners were cut, it should be able to supply 100A to the motor (unless software capped or motor draw less than that)
@@TheInja Hey -- check out endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=95969 Are you sure it's a CANBUS interface? Those guys are just using a regular cheapie USB-serial converter. There's a lot of info on this controller.
I know this is months old and not sure if you got this working but something to try as an IT guy. Right-click the software>Properties>Compatibility>Check Run this program as an Administrator. The fire up the software and see if it connects.
Wow I actually felt your pain in this video, if I was you ..I would sell it on Craigslist as a beginner bike ..be truthful about the speed.. and sell it for the price that you bought it for.
Thanks for all the updates on this bike I've been obsessed researching these style of electric motorcycle and I'm glad I didn't just buy one yet. It's too bad you can't find a nice one in this price range in the u.s. at this point I think I might just buy a beater over the winter and convert it. I think you have done your viewers a service by keeping us informed and updated sorry about your luck on the purchase so far but you definitely helped some people if that's any consolation haha.
It just sucks that even smaller cc motorcycles aren't in the market, as a small person who wants to get the basics down first, I cant find anything that's either a project bike or overpriced bikes from a dealer that are 250cc and lower
I bought a gas moped from Redfox over internet on sale 459 bucks. Couldn't be happier. It is chinese but does forty five mph uphill. Eighty to one hundred mpg. I think the electrics still need more time to be perfected for reasonable cost.
Lower spec than advertised is China's whole deal. The only real performance gain you can get is upping the voltage, as with any electric motor. But it's more money and pain for minimal gains with a small motor. I'd really suggest just selling it and moving on. It would probably sell quickly in the fruitcup state anyways, for damn near your investment.
When you see that you could not get up to that speed you should have put that shit back in the box and sent it back to them, did somebody on the customer service and having to troubleshoot it for you without you dismantling the bike because you just destroyed the so-called warranty on a piece of overpriced but nice looking shit;;🤔
Thy started to carry some Chinese electric motorcycles here. Paying an extra $500 or so is worth the headaches and loss by dealing locally if buying local is an option.
There definately is a limiter. It's usually a 4pin wire going to the controller. But regardless good attempt my dude! With respect, Your subscriber!
Před 5 lety+2
I know that limiters come as a nikel-copper alloy current shunt of wich a microcontroller reads a voltage drop and reduces the pwm duty cycle, per phase, accordingly. Also I know that windows virtual serial ports come out with stupid numerotations when a cp28xx (or similar) interface is plugged. Also, some microcontrollers, mostly due to the software running, enable eeprom or flash programming only in certain situations, like at boot or when the rts/cts serial pins are waved. :) Fortunately, ebikes are a bit more than plugging or unplugging a cable to unleash the deamon... or something.
no limiter, he bought an electric scooter that looks like a sportsbike, and it was only labeled as "electric sportsbike"
Před 5 lety
@@puregameplay7916 yet, if he pushes like 5-6kw into that rear drive... maybe he'll get that 100km/h he wants. I do wander what that actually draws atm.
Don't comment without knowledge ! There is no limiter or wires to unplug or some button sequence just simple current limit in settings to hide cheap chinese lithium battery weakness.
So I have a Chinese electric bike in the Philippines. If you want it to hit 60mph you need to increase the voltage. Yes you can disconnect the governor and that will help a bit, but you wont jump 40% in speed. Chances are you have lead acid battery, so you would need to add another battery, and due to the size it most likely wont fit. The only option you will have is to build a custom lithium battery and that will probably cost you more than the bike. Probably not the news you wanted to hear.
It is a 72volt 3000watt motor, its probably the controller that's causing it to be slow, for an easy fix solution you can just get your self another controller with a higher Amps discharge together with a compatable battery specs 72v obviously. Some controller you could try are *yuyangking controller* *sinewave controller* I hope this advise could help you a little bit.
You’ve obviously never bought something directly from China... good luck even getting a hold of “ customer service” and even if you do, they make it such a hassle it wouldn’t be worth it. Not to mention the cost of shipping it back would make him actually lose money. Most of the time they will say that “ will return purchase price when they receive returned product” knowing full well you won’t send it. If you do send it back for whatever reason, it’ll just get “lost in shipping”. Best advice is to make sure you don’t spend too much on anything from China. You rarely get what they advertise and returns or refunds are out of the question.
this almost looks like my zone s , look for a single wire under the cowling near the battery box , left side .. there may be a wire labeled " please do not unplug " .. unplug it
The Zone S uses the RZ design. This is the DP model. The most obvious difference being the fairings, front indicator, and seat. Daymak EM2 uses this design. Kind of funny about the wire label, which would be the limiter. He has opened it up in a previous video, but unfortunately there is no such wire on this.
Thank you so much for letting everyone know about your experience, maybe it will help someone else avoid this mistake and NEVER spend more on something from Alibaba than you can throw away because 40% of the time you'll get screwed.
As many are saying, open a dispute, either with Alibaba or with your bank depending on if you paid by credit card or otherwise if there's a trail. You can claim that the merchandise was misrepresented or not as described.
Brother. One look at your controller tells me all I need to know. It should be twice as big. And 72 volts. Maybe 42 MPH. You need a minimum 120 volts. That's the battery and controller. You might be able to overvolt your current motor with upgraded controller and battery. Try it. Worst case you blow your motor and buy a new one. A crytalis will do the job. Forget software and limiters. That's all BS. I went thru it myself. 120 volt controller/ 120 amp. true 5 to 7 kw motor. 120-volt battery. You will go 60 pluss and do wheelies. It's going to cost you another grand min. Period.
Hey man, Love your video and sorry for all those hard times. I work for Yilun Motors, a Chinese Electric Motorcycle company. I gotta say, that bike was just a joke, their factory was literally a trash plant. File your complaint and try to get your money back. As a new company, we have just done developing our first prototype ebike X1 (0-60 in 5 sec, top speed 100mph with a 150 miles of range). We are trying to bring it out in 2020, also working hard to enter US market. If you’re interested, I’ll keep you posted
The controller sends serial data using a RS485 protocol, NOT CANBUS. Use a RS485 to USB cable, download CH341SER driver, see which COM port got assigned to it by the computer (check in device manager), enter that COM port into the software and then it work.
That error that you got, it must be something to do with the com port driver... try to find the device driver for that controller and install it in your laptop, disconnect then connect the wire (USB wire or what ever is connecting your motorcycle to your laptop), turn on your motorcycle, then wait if your laptop detects the motorcycle, then you can click the connect button on the software that you are using.. This might help a bit, or someone might get an idea out of this.
Try changing the baud rate on the VOTOL-EM-V3 software program. The serial chip needs to convert to CAN and CAN most common baud rates are 125 kbit/s (default CANopen) and 250 kbit/s (J1939). Not sure what the exact baud rate is needed to make the converter work, but the error your getting sounds like a baud rate mismatch.
I've bought Chinese motorcycle and scooters before, one thing I have learned purchase from an American dealer here in the states. The delivery is quicker and you get what you ordered.
Hate to tell you other countries have landed craft on the moon also. The Chinese did it this year. You must have not seen that, it was on the dark side of the moon.
Hi, I'm Alex, from Venezuela, but now I´m living in Chile, I´ve got an electric motorcycle, 2000W, and all it get is 70 kms/hr, thats because is a combination between the controler and the engine wheel (2000W), how I see it, I´m sorry for you but you got the wrong bike. This bikes are perfect to go to home-work, and other few little things, but that´s all. I´m glad with mine, because is so, so economic. I´m glad to help you with any questions. Regards and best luck.
They are definitely worth it if you are shipped the correct bike, my brother just got an 8000w R3 model with a 72v40ah lithium battery from Wuxi Stanford in like 2 1/2 months, it's look turns heads, is whisper quiet and a blast to ride, got up to 40 at half throttle while it's only been ridden halfway down the street and back since it not registered, I personally ride an FZ07 so the lack of any torque on takeoff(feels like riding in 3rd gear) and noise feedback caught me off guard at first but at I'd buy one as a commuter as it is a quick nimble 200lb bike, and can easily overtake cars. The 8000w feels equivalent to a 150cc-250cc, Inja most likely got a 3000w that probably feels like a 50cc
It's in the "How I Bought" video. I'm funneling people to that video because I explain everything about buying one of these in detail and make sure you know the consequences and my experience ordering it. ☕
the hub motor says the power rating right on it. 72v 40h means 72 volts and 40 amp hours. You multiply them to get your max wattage rating which is 2880w in this case.
That motor is 2,880 watts of power max. Do you know even if the batteries are giving the full 72 volts at max power? Many things to test and check, but it just plainly appears to be grossly under powered on what was advertised.
Hello Inja, I've been following your blog as I too am a keen motorcyclist and for the first time was considering buying an electric bike for commuting to work (appx 30 miles). Thank you for your constant updates regarding your purchase. I will not be going electric anytime soon until its been properly tried and tested. And certainly not a motorcycle from ALIBABA (AliExpress)
I got a 12kw ebike from Leili ebikes on Alibaba and the second I started having issues they stopped messaging me back. I was even using WhatsApp to talk to a guy 1 on 1 regularly. Then my controller started pooping out and he disappeared. They barely knew what they were doing when it came to getting my order correct. Even after correcting them via email OVER AND OVER they still mail me a bike with the wrong colored wheels and wrong seat.
They often have have multiple colors, in the pics, and worse, multiple designs. You need to get a pic of exactly what they're sending you before it ships if that matters to you. Then of course they stop responding if you have any issues.
Hey dude . I have a escooter in the fast . The top speed is 55kph - 60kph . And it will go faster like 75-80kph. when i plugged into the charger . It means the bike need more power . Like add more batteries and high amp batteries to get more power . Check your battery how high its voltage and amp
This is a great idea...I "overclocked" airsoft aegs this way changing a 8.4 volt nimh to a 10-12v lipo. The rof changes drastically. I cant see why thia wouldnt work. Please let me.know if you try this. I want an ebike and so far tamaha and zero are looking like the best options
Also there is a way to manually reprogram the LCD. The LCD controls the controller and if the wrong input is put there obviously you will b going slow. Ages ago in 2016 I ordered a nice design Zoom 1000 watt China ebike. It was doing 24MPH max and I even bet my life on it that it was going to keep up with traffic and took it to work the next day. There was a lot of time I think every drivers behind me was just complimenting the design of it and had pitty on me for being slow otherwise knowing the traffic, I could have been seriously hurt. When I took it home and messing with the controls it was set at 32km and I was surprisingly increasing and decreasing it from there and took it out for a test run each time I increased it on the settings. So see if you can manually set it up or at least manually sees what’s the highest travel velocity it’s set as. They all should be able to do that, just different buttons.
You got what you paid for. Best you could get for $1500. In some way the seller wasn't totally dishonest. From the looks of it, the bike will do 5000W. Problem is it will only do it for a short period (like 30seconds) and provided some criteria is met (mostly good temps on the motor and controller, adequate charge, etc.). Think of it as overclocking. Afterwards, it will go back to 3000W. At 3000W you will only be able to do 65. At 5000W, you can manage 100kmph, but you wont be able to hold it since the controller will dial back the power soon.
i have contact with the manufacture of the hub motor, I've sent them a message to see if they have info on the motor ;) they have holidays in china until the 7th oct so we'll probably first get a reply after that
It's basically a big RC car, the speed is most likely limited by the VESC or the battery voltage output. Not gonna lie, a battery that size would probably cost more than this machine is worth and a VESC that can handle large output isn't cheap either. The other consideration is the actual motor itself, assuming it's direct drive you would need to match the torque to the weight of the machine plus rider. Basically imo you are better off buying a 40 year old honda bike and making it run. *EDIT** If you can find out the size and wind count of the motor we can actually calculate the expected output per volt of this machine, also knowing if it is brushed or brushless would be helpful.
Just my thoughts, "if you didn't hear this before" I would check the voltage of the batteries to see what its putting out. To me it looks like there is more room for more batteries so they might have only gave you half the voltage. I agree with others in using a older computer for the serial port. had the same kind of problems with milling machine i made. it didn't like the USB adapter. A older desk top computer helped but not a older laptop for some reason. I didn't notice if the power was on with the bike when you tried to connect. It might need that, USB especially on laptops don't provide a lot of amps. I hope I helped if not well, good to know you not alone and we all here to support you on this project. Good luck and keep us inform on your progress.

@@dylanbenker2043 r/agedlikemilk
Not sure if you've tried this already or its been recommended. Since your programming controller is connecting via a serial connection over USB make sure you are plugged into a USB 2.0 port and not a 3.0 port. While USB 3.0 is technically backwards compatible ive had issues just like this which were fixed by using a different usb port.
Add better batteries, double the voltage, watch it fly
Crazy LiPo setup. lol
Slap a Razor sticker on it if it don’t already have one hidden lmao
Yep. That thing is basically a Razor scooter.
Dispute this guy and give him a fat zero rating in Alibaba dude.
So now that you know the speedo max speed, compare that to a gps reading...speedo might not be accurate either.
Mine goes faster than the speedo says, so yes should try this,
Turn the bike on while connecting it🤦🏼♂️ it’s like plugging up a iPhone charger into a Mac book and u have to part the charger into the phone and turn the phone on so u can transfer your stuff
I tried it every way
IF you buy that from Alibaba, why don't you report them to Alibaba, they will take care of that, you will see and very fast
Robert Glancer ... I really doubt that , China wants people to buy their scams and cheap crap so they can be millionaires
Will they though? I bought a faulty charger on ali-express, and even with full video documentation of it being faulty (including me using 2 different volt meters and demonstrating that my testing equipment worked) they gave me half my money back, with the explanation "you can still use the charger." I couldn't use the charger as it 100% didn't work, which I very well demonstrated on video....so even if this guy has all of this on video demonstrating that it's faulty, they might not care. It's probably a good first step to try, but expecting a quick and good resolution might be a stretch.
@@BillyBob-ib5df Is that based on personal experience or is that an overarching statement without the benefit of any actual interaction with Alibaba?
Believe it or not there are Chinese companies that have good customer service. My friend fixes laptops and trying to fix and get parts from Apple is like pulling teeth but dealing with Lenovo (yes, a Chinese company) is simple.
I say that because of personal experience, not only me but a few of my friends too. I know a few people from China (personally) and very important people, the business world, even one of my costumers is from Germany and he is doing all business from China and he himself told me few things how China trade is working, will be really smart to report this company what they did to you and especially on Aliexpress site, so they can take care of that , and you will see its working.

Remember back in the good ol days when if you wanted something to go faster you physically did something to the parts and not programming it?
The good days
yeah man, add some edelbrock heads, maybe 1.6 roller rockers, change out the cam to solid lifter with more duration and lift, change out the intake & jets on the carb then finish it off with more spark, more timing and some headers to dump all that extra air you'll be moving...
Try getting an old computer with Windows XP
Exactly like an Panasonic toughbook with a serial 9 pin port it always works for me on programming chinese crap
Agreed. If you're using a USB to serial rs232 adapter, I'd try a different one or a much older laptop with old Windows version on it.
Also, even if you do the above steps, expect you'll need to play around with baud rate and COM port settings to get it to work.
Agree with using an actual serial (rs232) port. I have an old laptop for just this reason.
This!
Being electric the limitation is most likely on the wiring and the components
Flavia Pitariu
Jesus christ. Get the motor testedthen rewound to the specs you want.
The seller had nothing to with the manufacturing of that bike bro. He’s just a middle man in it for a quick buck
It's definitely the controller. Most stock EVs come with lower powered controllers. If you are upgrading go for a new Kelly controller and possibly a motor (qs motor 260 - 20kw for 160km/h). I bought one of these cheap bikes specifically to mod them up with the parts I mentioned.
A quick google search returned 100A at 72V for that Votol EM-100, which means it can handle 7.2k watts
Where did you get it from ?
The motor is rated 70KPH for 72V, so unless you overvolt it, the controller is not the limiting factor.
@@daijoubu4529 The motor takes 120A peak, that is the electrical power draw, not the power the motor makes.
@@mothafus Correct, I'm just saying that if the specs of the controller is correct and no corners were cut, it should be able to supply 100A to the motor (unless software capped or motor draw less than that)
Hey, I got in contact with the motor manufacturer, showed him a picture of the number on it from your video, and he says it is a 3000w motor.
Thanks bro!
@@TheInja Hey -- check out endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=95969 Are you sure it's a CANBUS interface? Those guys are just using a regular cheapie USB-serial converter. There's a lot of info on this controller.
So 4hp
Of you look indeed at the rearwheel number it says 72v and 40a.
With simple math it is 2880 watt.
So yeah, its a 3000w if the tag is correct.
Sounds like my washing on spin cycle .
Really appreciate you letting everyone know.
I was close to purchasing 4 different bikes off alibaba.
Not Now!
I know this is months old and not sure if you got this working but something to try as an IT guy. Right-click the software>Properties>Compatibility>Check Run this program as an Administrator. The fire up the software and see if it connects.
Wow I actually felt your pain in this video, if I was you ..I would sell it on Craigslist as a beginner bike ..be truthful about the speed.. and sell it for the price that you bought it for.
A lot of these Chinese bikes have a limiter that turns off after a certain amount of miles like 50 - 300 miles.
That's trippy
@@ianmangham4570 yea they call it the break in period to try and reduce crashes for new riders since the tires are new
Sometimes it's also configurable in the "Settings" or there is an actual limiter somewhere in the circuitry.
@The Seal how can you scam with the truth? (everything is oversold in the paperwork, he needs a proper manual, even if its a pdf) no repair info!
Cool story bro
Thanks for all the updates on this bike I've been obsessed researching these style of electric motorcycle and I'm glad I didn't just buy one yet. It's too bad you can't find a nice one in this price range in the u.s. at this point I think I might just buy a beater over the winter and convert it. I think you have done your viewers a service by keeping us informed and updated sorry about your luck on the purchase so far but you definitely helped some people if that's any consolation haha.
It just sucks that even smaller cc motorcycles aren't in the market, as a small person who wants to get the basics down first, I cant find anything that's either a project bike or overpriced bikes from a dealer that are 250cc and lower
I bought a gas moped from Redfox over internet on sale
459 bucks. Couldn't be happier. It is chinese but does forty five mph uphill.
Eighty to one hundred mpg.
I think the electrics still need more time to be perfected for reasonable cost.
Lower spec than advertised is China's whole deal.
The only real performance gain you can get is upping the voltage, as with any electric motor. But it's more money and pain for minimal gains with a small motor.
I'd really suggest just selling it and moving on. It would probably sell quickly in the fruitcup state anyways, for damn near your investment.
When you see that you could not get up to that speed you should have put that shit back in the box and sent it back to them, did somebody on the customer service and having to troubleshoot it for you without you dismantling the bike because you just destroyed the so-called warranty on a piece of overpriced but nice looking shit;;🤔
D = drive S = sport R= race
Thy started to carry some Chinese electric motorcycles here. Paying an extra $500 or so is worth the headaches and loss by dealing locally if buying local is an option.
There definately is a limiter. It's usually a 4pin wire going to the controller. But regardless good attempt my dude!
With respect,
Your subscriber!
I know that limiters come as a nikel-copper alloy current shunt of wich a microcontroller reads a voltage drop and reduces the pwm duty cycle, per phase, accordingly.
Also I know that windows virtual serial ports come out with stupid numerotations when a cp28xx (or similar) interface is plugged.
Also, some microcontrollers, mostly due to the software running, enable eeprom or flash programming only in certain situations, like at boot or when the rts/cts serial pins are waved. :)
Fortunately, ebikes are a bit more than plugging or unplugging a cable to unleash the deamon... or something.
no limiter, he bought an electric scooter that looks like a sportsbike, and it was only labeled as "electric sportsbike"
@@puregameplay7916 yet, if he pushes like 5-6kw into that rear drive... maybe he'll get that 100km/h he wants.
I do wander what that actually draws atm.
There is defenetly no limiter..
Don't comment without knowledge ! There is no limiter or wires to unplug or some button sequence just simple current limit in settings to hide cheap chinese lithium battery weakness.
Save yourself the 12 min
(Its the wrong bike )
You have my permission
That's Chinese for you, when you're still with your money you are the boss but when you give them your money they are the boss.
So I have a Chinese electric bike in the Philippines. If you want it to hit 60mph you need to increase the voltage. Yes you can disconnect the governor and that will help a bit, but you wont jump 40% in speed. Chances are you have lead acid battery, so you would need to add another battery, and due to the size it most likely wont fit. The only option you will have is to build a custom lithium battery and that will probably cost you more than the bike. Probably not the news you wanted to hear.
It is a 72volt 3000watt motor, its probably the controller that's causing it to be slow, for an easy fix solution you can just get your self another controller with a higher Amps discharge together with a compatable battery specs 72v obviously. Some controller you could try are *yuyangking controller* *sinewave controller* I hope this advise could help you a little bit.
You’re too nice, I already would of got my money back lol
s2foci for real
He had it shipped from China... What is he spossed to do?.. He just fucked
You’ve obviously never bought something directly from China... good luck even getting a hold of “ customer service” and even if you do, they make it such a hassle it wouldn’t be worth it. Not to mention the cost of shipping it back would make him actually lose money. Most of the time they will say that “ will return purchase price when they receive returned product” knowing full well you won’t send it. If you do send it back for whatever reason, it’ll just get “lost in shipping”. Best advice is to make sure you don’t spend too much on anything from China. You rarely get what they advertise and returns or refunds are out of the question.

Just open a dispute on aliexpres
He didn't bought it from aliexpress.
Alibaba, and there is a dispute process there too. Failing that, if he paid by CC, they're usually pretty good about false advertising.
Why opening a dispute if you can blameing allllll the time you want? Complaining on sosial media are cOOoLLlL!!!!
this almost looks like my zone s , look for a single wire under the cowling near the battery box , left side .. there may be a wire labeled " please do not unplug " .. unplug it
The Zone S uses the RZ design. This is the DP model. The most obvious difference being the fairings, front indicator, and seat. Daymak EM2 uses this design. Kind of funny about the wire label, which would be the limiter. He has opened it up in a previous video, but unfortunately there is no such wire on this.
Really enjoyed this video hope you can get this figured out and look forward to an update... Best of luck🤘
Thank you so much for letting everyone know about your experience, maybe it will help someone else avoid this mistake and NEVER spend more on something from Alibaba than you can throw away because 40% of the time you'll get screwed.
This Bike Series Is Really Blowing Up My Guy Good Luck To You. 💪

Fuck you gasman you piece of shit.....
Just contact the controller company. They should be able to walk you through it.
As many are saying, open a dispute, either with Alibaba or with your bank depending on if you paid by credit card or otherwise if there's a trail. You can claim that the merchandise was misrepresented or not as described.
Brother. One look at your controller tells me all I need to know. It should be twice as big. And 72 volts. Maybe 42 MPH. You need a minimum 120 volts. That's the battery and controller. You might be able to overvolt your current motor with upgraded controller and battery. Try it. Worst case you blow your motor and buy a new one. A crytalis will do the job.
Forget software and limiters. That's all BS. I went thru it myself.
120 volt controller/ 120 amp. true 5 to 7 kw motor. 120-volt battery. You will go 60 pluss and do wheelies. It's going to cost you another grand min. Period.
Saw your problem...on the software try changing the com field to a different port to connect with the controller

Hey man, Love your video and sorry for all those hard times. I work for Yilun Motors, a Chinese Electric Motorcycle company. I gotta say, that bike was just a joke, their factory was literally a trash plant. File your complaint and try to get your money back.

Email me! injamotorcycles@gmail.com
The controller sends serial data using a RS485 protocol, NOT CANBUS. Use a RS485 to USB cable, download CH341SER driver, see which COM port got assigned to it by the computer (check in device manager), enter that COM port into the software and then it work.

Why does it have a petrol tank?

I remember when I bought my first crotch rocket on wish.
That error that you got, it must be something to do with the com port driver... try to find the device driver for that controller and install it in your laptop, disconnect then connect the wire (USB wire or what ever is connecting your motorcycle to your laptop), turn on your motorcycle, then wait if your laptop detects the motorcycle, then you can click the connect button on the software that you are using.. This might help a bit, or someone might get an idea out of this.
Try changing the baud rate on the VOTOL-EM-V3 software program. The serial chip needs to convert to CAN and CAN most common baud rates are 125 kbit/s (default CANopen) and 250 kbit/s (J1939). Not sure what the exact baud rate is needed to make the converter work, but the error your getting sounds like a baud rate mismatch.

This bikes are perfect to go to home-work, and other few little things, but that´s all. I´m glad with mine, because is so, so economic. I´m glad to help you with any questions. Regards and best luck.
They are definitely worth it if you are shipped the correct bike, my brother just got an 8000w R3 model with a 72v40ah lithium battery from Wuxi Stanford in like 2 1/2 months, it's look turns heads, is whisper quiet and a blast to ride, got up to 40 at half throttle while it's only been ridden halfway down the street and back since it not registered, I personally ride an FZ07 so the lack of any torque on takeoff(feels like riding in 3rd gear) and noise feedback caught me off guard at first but at I'd buy one as a commuter as it is a quick nimble 200lb bike, and can easily overtake cars. The 8000w feels equivalent to a 150cc-250cc, Inja most likely got a 3000w that probably feels like a 50cc
I had the same issue. I took my Mars rover to a local place that deals with Apollo vehicles and they sorted it out.

@@TheInja do you even read his comments? 😂😅
Don’t know if you have already realised but that is 2880watts it is stamped on the hub in V and A. Probably ‘rated’ at 3kw
the hub motor says the power rating right on it. 72v 40h means 72 volts and 40 amp hours. You multiply them to get your max wattage rating which is 2880w in this case.
are you powering the controller while you're trying to connect?
Petrol/combustion engine.......WINS this round👍😃
Sad how you got scammed. It honestly is you should’ve gotten to 100 km an hour not 70.
That motor is 2,880 watts of power max. Do you know even if the batteries are giving the full 72 volts at max power? Many things to test and check, but it just plainly appears to be grossly under powered on what was advertised.
Hello Inja, I've been following your blog as I too am a keen motorcyclist and for the first time was considering buying an electric bike for commuting to work (appx 30 miles). Thank you for your constant updates regarding your purchase. I will not be going electric anytime soon until its been properly tried and tested. And certainly not a motorcycle from ALIBABA (AliExpress)
I got a 12kw ebike from Leili ebikes on Alibaba and the second I started having issues they stopped messaging me back. I was even using WhatsApp to talk to a guy 1 on 1 regularly. Then my controller started pooping out and he disappeared.
They barely knew what they were doing when it came to getting my order correct. Even after correcting them via email OVER AND OVER they still mail me a bike with the wrong colored wheels and wrong seat.
They often have have multiple colors, in the pics, and worse, multiple designs. You need to get a pic of exactly what they're sending you before it ships if that matters to you. Then of course they stop responding if you have any issues.
Hey dude . I have a escooter in the fast . The top speed is 55kph - 60kph . And it will go faster like 75-80kph. when i plugged into the charger . It means the bike need more power . Like add more batteries and high amp batteries to get more power . Check your battery how high its voltage and amp
This is a great idea...I "overclocked" airsoft aegs this way changing a 8.4 volt nimh to a 10-12v lipo. The rof changes drastically. I cant see why thia wouldnt work. Please let me.know if you try this. I want an ebike and so far tamaha and zero are looking like the best options

Also there is a way to manually reprogram the LCD. The LCD controls the controller and if the wrong input is put there obviously you will b going slow. Ages ago in 2016 I ordered a nice design Zoom 1000 watt China ebike. It was doing 24MPH max and I even bet my life on it that it was going to keep up with traffic and took it to work the next day. There was a lot of time I think every drivers behind me was just complimenting the design of it and had pitty on me for being slow otherwise knowing the traffic, I could have been seriously hurt. When I took it home and messing with the controls it was set at 32km and I was surprisingly increasing and decreasing it from there and took it out for a test run each time I increased it on the settings. So see if you can manually set it up or at least manually sees what’s the highest travel velocity it’s set as. They all should be able to do that, just different buttons.
You got what you paid for. Best you could get for $1500. In some way the seller wasn't totally dishonest. From the looks of it, the bike will do 5000W. Problem is it will only do it for a short period (like 30seconds) and provided some criteria is met (mostly good temps on the motor and controller, adequate charge, etc.). Think of it as overclocking. Afterwards, it will go back to 3000W. At 3000W you will only be able to do 65. At 5000W, you can manage 100kmph, but you wont be able to hold it since the controller will dial back the power soon.
i have contact with the manufacture of the hub motor, I've sent them a message to see if they have info on the motor ;)
they have holidays in china until the 7th oct so we'll probably first get a reply after that
That's what Alibaba told me.
Chinese lithium batteries like many Chinese metals and manufacturing have a much larger window of tolerance/flaws.
OR look at the glass half full, and transplant all the working parts onto an actual bicycle and skip the road laws altogether!
Dude that was very cool the way you waved your hand awesome video
It's basically a big RC car, the speed is most likely limited by the VESC or the battery voltage output. Not gonna lie, a battery that size would probably cost more than this machine is worth and a VESC that can handle large output isn't cheap either. The other consideration is the actual motor itself, assuming it's direct drive you would need to match the torque to the weight of the machine plus rider. Basically imo you are better off buying a 40 year old honda bike and making it run. *EDIT** If you can find out the size and wind count of the motor we can actually calculate the expected output per volt of this machine, also knowing if it is brushed or brushless would be helpful.
Just my thoughts, "if you didn't hear this before"
I would check the voltage of the batteries to see what its putting out. To me it looks like there is more room for more batteries so they might have only gave you half the voltage.
I agree with others in using a older computer for the serial port. had the same kind of problems with milling machine i made. it didn't like the USB adapter. A older desk top computer helped but not a older laptop for some reason. I didn't notice if the power was on with the bike when you tried to connect. It might need that, USB especially on laptops don't provide a lot of amps.
I hope I helped if not well, good to know you not alone and we all here to support you on this project.
Good luck and keep us inform on your progress.
