Can You Remove the Speed Limiter on an Electric Bike?

A speed limiter is a built-in system that determines the maximum speed at which an electric bike's motor will continue to assist the rider. Once the bike reaches a certain speed, the motor gradually reduces power or stops assisting altogether. This system is controlled by the bike's controller, the small onboard computer that manages the motor, battery, and sensors.
