Title: Is there a speed sensor ?
Post by: MoneyFor on June 19, 2020, 10:48:00 PM

Is there a speed sensor on the Energica's that passes the data on to the ECU, as we know it on an ice bike ?  if so, where is it located.

Most EVs estimate the speed from the motor rotation.

Thanks for the reply, so there is no external speedsensor that can be replaced then.

Probably not but hopefully Demoni will see this and provide some insights.

Thanks for the reply.

I am trying to find out if there is an external speed sensor like with an ICE bike. If this is the case, it may be possible to deceive the VCU with a Speedohealer, just like with my CanAm, so that the limiter is removed. My CanAm was limited at 105kmu or 65 mph , with the Speedohealer set at -50% ( is easy to read the tacho then :) , just multiply by 2 )  the limiter is gone because there is no way that this CanAm would reach 130 mph. So I was wondering if this could be done with a Energica as well.

According to the thread in the link below, the speedometer reads off the motor RPM.
