The Complete Guide to Making Your Electric Bike Go faster
For an e-bike speed enthusiast it can be exciting just to think about the fastest e-bike in the market.
Although these bikes come preprogrammed with certain speed limits and to handle certain levels of stress, there are different ways to derestrict your battery-powered machine.
So, if you want to feel the wind rush through your hair as you whizz down the tarmac, use the following guide to make your e-bike go faster!
How Fast Can an Electric Bike Go?
You might be wondering, “why would anyone want to increase the speed of their e-bike; aren’t they already fast?” Well, there are guidelines pertaining to the maximum speed, as well as the total battery wattage you can have on your electric bike!
Generally speaking, most electric bikes in the market can achieve a maximum speed of 20mph, although some will go up to 28mph. You will even find models that surpass the 28mph barrier but these are restricted by legal guidelines.
For instance, in the U.S a regular e-bike is classified as such but has a maximum speed limit of 20mph and has a battery capacity that is 750 watts or less.
Bikes that meet the above criteria are not categorized as motor vehicles despite having a motor propelling them. Luckily, most manufacturers are preconfiguring their bikes to meet these guidelines so that you can take your e-bike on the road.
The guidelines stated above are under federal law in the U.S meaning they apply to all the states. However, almost half of the states don’t comprehensively define what an electric bike is. So, if you buy an e-bike that can exceed 20mph, then you’re technically purchasing a motor vehicle.
Some e-bike makers also offer models that can hit a speed of 28mph. In some countries, you can use these on the road as long as you don’t get to that speed exclusively by the throttle. Instead, it is allowed if you use the pedal-assist!
How to Make Your E-bike Ride Faster
Most of the electric bikes in the market will typically come with a preprogrammed speed limit of 20mph. The motor assist automatically cuts off when the bike reaches 20mph, leaving you to propel the bike by pedaling. However, you can surpass this limit by pedaling harder, which also means more strain on your leg muscles.
With that being said, there are several tips and tricks you can use to achieve higher speeds without the effort of pedaling. Consider the following to increase the speed limit of your electric bike:
Travel Light
The amount of load that your leg muscles and bike motor have to propel forward goes a long way to determine the top speed you can achieve. As such, you’ll have to shed some weight off your electric bike if you want to derestrict how fast it can go.
One way to do this is by getting rid of any unwanted attachments that may be on the bicycle. For instance, if you have a backpack or a rack on the bike, you can remove them. The same is true for mudguards that are fitted on the bike wheels.
You may as well switch to much thinner tires to reduce the bike weight and wear relatively light clothing when riding your bike.
Ensure the Tire Pressure is Appropriate
Your tire pressure should be at the optimal psi to limit the creation of drag, which only serves to slow you down. The recommended tire pressure is usually recorded on the side of the tires, so always check the pressure to ensure optimal performance.
However, take caution not to inflate the tires beyond the recommended level of pressure as this can easily reduce the traction of the tires and downplay your stability when riding on wet off-road terrains.
Use Smoother and Thinner Tires
Another great way to achieve high speeds is to use thinner tires. This is the reason you see pro cyclists on the Tour de France riding bicycles with very thin tires. The concept behind this is that slimmer tires reduce the amount of drag and thus the energy needed to thrust the bike forward.
So, if you own an e-bike with a wide set of tires, consider replacing them with thinner ones. Aside from riding on thinner tires, you can also opt for a smoother pair to make your bike move master. While deep treads on the tire increase your grip on the surface, they are also counterproductive to the higher speed you want to reach!
Examine the tires on your e-bike, and if you feel they are more suited for use on a mountain bike; replace them with smoother tires.
Crouch while Riding
Crouching helps to achieve a more streamlined riding stance, which serves to limit the amount of air resistance you face. When your body is streamlined, it can move faster in the face of headwinds and this also means that the bike won’t be dragged down.
You can witness this among professional athletes when racing one another in a velodrome. They normally crouch down to limit the amount of air resistance and the amount of effort needed to pedal against it.
The result is that the cyclists move faster than a person who may be riding in an upright posture. However, you want to reconsider adopting this trick if you have any prevailing back issues; you don’t want to aggravate the injury, do you?
Keep the Battery Cool
Allowing your battery to overheat can adversely affect its level of performance. As such, you always have to be mindful of the temperature of the battery every time you are riding. Leaving the battery exposed to direct sunlight can easily cause it to warm up. To prevent this, try finding an appropriate cover to shield it against the hot sun.
The reason I say appropriate is that some covers may block the battery from getting the air needed to keep it cool. This is especially true on those clear days when there isn’t too much sun. Ideally, look for a battery cover that provides enough shade but also allows for free airflow!
Another undesired factor you don’t want to expose your bike battery to is cold. Cold causes batteries to drain faster, which means that it won’t be performing at top capacity. The recommended temperature to store your battery is between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius.
Get Rid of the Limiter
If you’re good with gadgets, it is possible to trick the bike’s computer into thinking you are moving slower than you actually are! This can be done by indicating on the controller that you are riding on smaller tires. This is due to the fact that when larger and smaller wheels are rotating at the same RPM, the larger tire moves faster than its counterpart.
Hence, telling the computer that the tires are smaller will make it assume that the bike is moving at a slower pace. This ensures that the speed limiter won’t kick in even when you’re riding at higher speeds.
However, be mindful of the actual speed you’re moving at, especially when you consider that the LCD will be showing slower speeds. You don’t want to be busted by the authorities breaking the rules on the road!
Alternatively, you can pay to have the display removed altogether. You will find some technicians offering these kinds of services; take advantage of the same to ensure that you are not being limited anymore. The only downside is that by doing this, you run the risk of contravening the laws.
Upgrade the Motor
The motor could be another thing slowing you down. If you don’t have a powerful motor on your e-bike, you may upgrade to a more powerful unit; one with a higher KV rating for the recommended voltage, as well as a higher RPM rating.
This improves the top speed that the motor can deliver. However, you might want to remember that this will probably reduce the range of the bike if the battery remains the same!
Use a Higher Battery Voltage
Apart from upgrading the motor, you can also upgrade the battery to a higher voltage. This helps to boost the maximum speed you can achieve on your electric bike. Having said that, there is a risk of the motor burning out if you don’t update this as well; so, watch out for this!
To prevent this, consult the manufacturer or a professional technician to know whether the existing motor can accommodate the increased battery voltage.
Keep the Battery Charged
Always ensure the battery is at full capacity before taking the bike for a ride. This is because a lower charge tends to reduce the power output, causing the bike not to move as fast. It also implies that you won’t be able to stay on your bike for long.
To prevent this, give the battery enough time to recharge when it runs out of power so that you have enough juice to keep you going fast. For more info on this, see our e-bike batteries explained megapost.
Add a Windshield
As crazy as it may sound, adding a windshield can greatly affect the kind of speeds you can reach on your electric bike. The windshield helps to reduce air resistance and works wonders on higher-speed electric bicycles. According to research, it can add as much as 3 mph to the top speed of a bike, which means faster rides for you!
The windshield deflects air to the side and prevents your body from behaving like a sail. Luckily, the market already provides specially designed windshields for motorbikes that you can attach to the handlebar.
Hack the E-bike
With a little DIY magic, it’s possible to hack the bike’s computer and trick it into assuming the speed limit is lower. You can do this by locating the speed limiting wire jumper on the controller. This is typically a single wire that is linked to an electrical connector and can be removed to enable you to achieve higher speeds.
For countries that have the speed limit at 20mph, you can plug the wire to record a 15.5mph, so that the bike is not limited at the 20mph mark.
Why You May Not Want to Go Any Faster
Although it can sound thrilling to achieve these top speeds on your electric bike, you should be aware that such great speeds come with great responsibility. Failure to take proper care can cause a range of risks you could do without. Some of these include:
Injury
The faster you ride, the higher the risk to make an accident and injure yourself. Unfortunately, driving at top speeds undermines the amount of control you have over the ride. In case of any collisions, you want to make sure that you’re wearing a helmet and other protective gear to reduce the extent of the damage.
Trouble with the Law
Cycling above the legal speed limit can also put you on a direct collision with the authorities. This is especially true if you decide to ride your bike on public roads and spaces. Before doing this, check what the law of the land says to avoid breaking it.
Reduced Battery Life
Riding fast tends to push the performance of the battery, which means that wear and tear happen much faster and replacing the e-bike battery can be an expensive affair.
The same can be said about the motor since the additional strain on it will wear it down. If you don’t have the funds to replace these crucial components of your bike, then you might want to go slow on the speed idea to enjoy longer service from your electric bike.
Strain on Your Muscles
Remember in order for you to achieve these high speeds, you won’t be getting help from the motor; your leg muscles bear all the brunt! This is to say you’ll have to push your pedaling to the limit, which may not be great for your muscles.
There is a risk of injuring them; not to mention that it takes away from the fun of electric biking. Why did you ditch your regular bike if this is what you wanted?
Final Thought
If you have been trying to push your electric bike to its limit, now you know what you can do to maximize the speed! However, take caution while doing this for the reasons explained above.
Wear enough protective gear, follow traffic rules, and watch out for the police. Riding fast can be so much fun’ but there is no shame in taking things slow and easy.

How To Remove And Reinstall The Rear Wheel On Your E-Bike
When it comes to rear hub motor e-bikes such as our Magnum models, you might find the idea of removing your rear wheel a bit intimidating. How do you navigate around the chain? The brakes? The motor cable? And while there is a lot to consider, we bet it’s a lot simpler than you think.
In this post, we’ll explain the steps for removing your rear wheel so you can confidently do it at home. That said, don’t be a Hero — if you’re ever in doubt or confused about your wheel or any other maintenance on your bike, just take it to your local e-bike dealer or repair shop.
Safety Warning: If you are unclear about any of the information described in your e-bike manual, this article, or the video linked at the end of this article, please make an appointment with a Magnum dealer to service your bike. Improper wheel installation can result in serious injury or death.
When Should I Remove My Rear Wheel?
The main reason to remove your e-bike’s rear wheel is to replace the tube or tire. You would usually do that as a result of damage, but you can also change out your e-bike tire to suit your terrain. A change in tires can help riders transition from urban and light trail riding to adventurous or rugged off-roading. Make sure to only use quality tires designed for your e-bike’s wheel size and model!
To change your tire, simply:
- Turn your battery power off or remove the battery entirely from your e-bike
- Disconnect the motor cable quick connector
- Change the flat tire as you would a regular bike
- Reconnect the motor plug, matching up the arrows on the cable connectors
You might also find yourself needing to replace the whole wheel. This would only be due to irreparable damage, which could be caused by impact or by incorrect maintenance or installation (improper truing, bolt/nut tightening, or spoke tension ).
Is The Rear Wheel Removal Process The Same On All E-Bikes?
Not a Magnum E-Bike owner? Not a problem. The steps we outline here should work for any rear hub motor e-bike, so if that describes your bike, this guide should be helpful for you. When in doubt, though, consult your manual or take your bike to your local e-bike dealer or repair shop.
Removing Your E-Bike’s Rear Wheel
There are many steps to removing the rear wheel, but don’t be intimidated. We’ll walk through it step by step.
Step 1: Shift Into Highest Gear
Before we get started, take your e-bike on a quick ride and shift it into your highest gear. You can be sure you’re there when you look at the freewheel: your chain will be on the smallest physical gear.
Step 2: Remove Retainer Bolt
Once you’ve shifted your e-bike into its highest gear, flip it over — or place it on a bike stand, if you have one.
Next, make sure you’re looking at the rotor side of your rear wheel, not the chain side.
Now find your retainer bolt. Loosen that bolt with your Allen wrench. This will loosen the fender wire too, but that’s okay. Remove the bolt and set it aside.
Loosen and remove your retainer bolt.
Step 3: Remove Rear Derailleur Guard
Step to the other side of your bike, so you’re now facing the chain, rear derailleur, etc. Double-check again that you’re in that high gear: the smallest physical gear.
Locate the 2 bolts holding your rear derailleur onto your frame; remove both of them and set them aside. Now you can remove the rear derailleur guard; keep that with the bolts.
Loosen and remove the 2 bolts holding your rear derrailleur guard in place; remove the derailleur guard.
Step 4: Unplug Motor Cable
Find the motor cable, which runs from your rear wheel axle up to a plug near the rim of your wheel. Then locate the zip tie that’s holding the motor cable in place.
Remove the zip tie holding the motor cable in place, then unplug the motor cable.
Step 5: Remove Axle Nuts
Remove the motor cable hub from the wheel axle and make sure all your cables are out of the way. Now grab your open-end wrench(es).
Start by loosening the axle nut on the side of the bike that you’re already on (the gear side). You may need to turn it quite a few times, so once it begins to loosen, speed things up by using your hands instead of the wrench. Once removed, set the axle nut aside.
Remove the axle nuts on each side of the rear wheel.
Then, go back to the side of the bike where you started (facing your rotor) and do the same. Note that the nuts may each be different sizes, so you may need 2 different sized wrenches, or that adjustable wrench.
Step 6: Remove The Wheel
Once your axle nuts are removed, press the cage of the derailleur forward (toward the bike frame). As you’re pressing and holding the derailleur with your thumb, use your other hand to guide the wheel off of the frame. Take your time, being careful of the cables and chain.
Press forward on the derailleur with one hand while shimmying the wheel off the frame with your other hand.
Once you’ve got the wheel partially removed, you’ll need to lift the chain off of the freewheel. As you free the chain, the derailleur will snap toward the top of your bike (downward if you’ve got your bike turned upside down, or upward if you’re using an upright bike stand). Then you can pull the wheel off completely.
Locating And Understanding Your Anti-Turn Washers
As you prepare to reinstall your wheel, make a special note of the washers holding your freewheel and disc brake in place on either side of the wheel’s axle. Those are called anti-turn washers, and they’re the only washers that sit inside the frame when your wheel is in place. You want them to be as close to the motor as possible.
Each side of your axle features an anti-turn washer, which sits inside the frame when your wheel is installed.
These washers are extremely important for the safe operation of your e-bike! Without proper installation and secure mechanisms, your wheel can come loose, which is extremely dangerous.
If you have any hesitation about how to properly reinstall your Magnum e-bike wheel, please consult your local Magnum dealer or repair shop.
Reinstalling Your E-Bike’s Rear Wheel
Good news — now things get a little easier! Removing your rear wheel is the hard part. Reinstalling is a bit finicky, but overall simpler. Just take your time.
As you guide your wheel into the frame, tuck your motor cable and wheel axle in through the center of your chain loop. Lift your rear derailleur. Hook the chain back onto the freewheel. On the other side, check that your rotor is where it should be as you move things into place.
Now is a good time to check on those anti-turn washers as well — and make sure they’re sitting inside the frame.
As you check the mechanisms, spin the wheel gently backward (clockwise if you’re facing the chain side; counterclockwise if you’re facing the rotor). You’ll both see and feel the wheel lock into place.
Now replace and tighten the axle nuts. Start with your hands again, and just use the open-end wrench for the final few turns.
Then replace the retainer bolt that holds the fender wire to the wheel. Next, reattach the derailleur guard and tighten those 2 bolts holding it in place.
We’re almost there! Now reconnect the motor cable by reinserting the plug; make sure the arrows on the motor cable line up. You can then install a new zip tie to secure the motor cable to the frame, and you’re done.
What About My Front Wheel?
Removing the front wheel can make it easier to transport your e-bike in a personal vehicle. You may also need to remove it if you need to replace a tube, tire, or the wheel itself.
Since your rear wheel is the one hooked up to the motor and chain, removing your front wheel is much simpler!
Magnum Pathfinder models as well as the Peak T5 and Peak T7 necessitate the use of an Allen wrench, but all other Magnums feature a quick release, making front-wheel removal a breeze. Just unfasten the quick-release lever and pull the wheel out!
Front wheel with the quick release deployed; you’re ready to remove the wheel.
To replace it, it’s helpful to have a partner to provide an extra set of hands. This ensures that the wheel sits properly in the fork and that the disc rotor slides up between the brake pads. If you’re by yourself, just move slowly and keep an eye on both sides of the wheel and axle as you guide the front wheel and disc rotor back in.
Top Tips To Care For Your E-Bike Wheels And Tires
With proper care, your wheels will take you far! While you should check every part of your bike regularly (see your manual for more info), here are the wheel and tire maintenance habits you need for e-bike safety.
Check tire pressure along with tire and rim condition. Check this before every ride; from debris to rough terrain, many things can change the condition of your tires or rims on any given ride.
Inspect wheel quick releases. Make sure all quick releases are tightened and secure. These hold your wheel securely to the frame, so they’re essential for a safe ride.
Check spoke tension. Broken spokes compromise the balance and integrity of your wheel, which can lead to major accidents. Grab each spoke pair (the 2 spokes that cross each other diagonally along the radius of your wheel) on each side of both wheels. If any spokes feel tighter or looser than the rest, don’t ride — take your bike in for service.
Check for wheel trueness. Grab one end of your frame and lift your e-bike off the ground. Look at your wheel from the top down and spin it. If you see any wobbling from side to side, your wheel might be out of true, making it unsafe to ride. Take your bike in for service.
