In this instructional video, the creator demonstrates a free and straightforward method to enhance the performance of the Wired Freedom electric bike through a ‘shunt mod’ of the KT controller. The video provides a step-by-step guide to modifying the controller, which involves carefully soldering two specific wires together to increase the bike’s power output. The presenter begins by explaining the bike’s existing capabilities, noting it already has significant power with 2,000+ peak watts and a 40 amp controller capable of reaching close to 40 mph. The modification process is detailed meticulously, showing how to safely access the controller, disconnect the battery, and perform the precise soldering technique. After completing the modification, the creator conducts real-world performance tests, including hill climbs and speed runs, to demonstrate the potential power increase. Throughout the video, he emphasizes the ease of the modification, suggesting it can be completed in approximately 10 minutes with minimal technical expertise. The demonstration aims to provide electric bike enthusiasts with a simple, cost-free method to extract additional performance from their existing equipment, highlighting the potential for DIY upgrades in the e-bike community.
