Darknessbot speed 22mph speed unlock for v8? Anyone tried it?

[Nimbus2000]

Just wondering if anyones tried this and what there experience was as far as compfort and safety?

It may be somewhat safe if you understand what you are doing and understand the underlying working principles of EUCs, see e.g.

Otherwise I don't think it is safe.

I've been at 22 for 1000 miles without issue. I see 20 at 100% battery, and can easily cruise at 18.5 until ~70% battery.

Yep, the 22mph is legit, Inmotion just throttles it back keeping that extra power in reserve for safety reasons.  I tried it for awhile, but throttled it back in the app in order to conserve my range.  Maybe there would be more of a concern if you're a heavier rider, but should be fine if you're on the lighter side.  I'm about 142lbs / 64kg.

Yeah, I can tell Inmotion really enforces the safety factor. Ever since I switched my oem wheel (roughly 1080 miles) to a Maxxis Hookworm, I'm still getting used to the difference in tread. I bailed about 3 months ago pushing it aggressively unlocked with the Darknessbot, and still regret it. Maybe towards the end of the summer, I'll increase it back to the higher "unlocked" speeds.

Indeed, safety is the first thing, then we can talk about the other factors.
