JOYOR S5 Tuning Kit 2025: Tutorial on How to Remove the Speed Limiter and Reach 35 km/h

0 comments

The JOYOR S5 ABE is factory-limited to 20 km/h to meet German road-use requirements. For riders who want stronger performance on closed private property, private tracks, or other non-public areas, this JOYOR S5 ABE speed unlock kit provides a clean controller and display replacement solution.

When installed correctly, the scooter can reach up to approximately 36 km/h. Actual speed may vary depending on rider weight, battery level, tire pressure, terrain, and riding conditions.

Quick summary:
- Fits JOYOR S5 ABE / S5 ABE Pro
- Unlocks the 20 km/h factory limit for private-use riding
- Reaches up to approximately 36 km/h under suitable conditions
- Includes upgraded controller and display
- Reversible when original parts are kept
Important legal notice: This performance upgrade is intended for closed private property use only. After modification, the scooter may no longer comply with its original ABE approval and may not be legal for public road use in Germany or other regulated markets. Public road use may affect insurance coverage and may violate local traffic laws. Always check your local regulations before installation.

Why Upgrade the JOYOR S5 ABE?

The JOYOR S5 ABE is comfortable, practical, and built for everyday riding, but the factory 20 km/h speed limit can feel restrictive in private areas where higher speed is permitted. This upgrade is designed for riders who want a more complete solution than unclear wiring changes or unstable third-party methods.

  • Higher private-use speed: Unlocks the factory 20 km/h limit and allows speeds of up to approximately 36 km/h.
  • Matched controller and display: Uses dedicated replacement parts instead of a simple limiter bypass.
  • Cleaner installation: Designed for a more organized fit on the JOYOR S5 ABE.
  • Reversible setup: Keep your original parts so the scooter can be restored to its original configuration if needed.
  • Smoother riding feel: Helps deliver more responsive acceleration for private-use riding.

Installation Overview

  1. Turn off the scooter completely and place it on a stable surface.
  2. Open the controller compartment according to the video guide.
  3. Take a photo of the original cable layout before disconnecting anything.
  4. Remove the original controller and display carefully, then store them safely.
  5. Install the upgraded parts and connect each cable securely.
  6. Check all connectors, cable routing, and waterproof protection before closing the scooter.
  7. Power on the scooter, complete speed calibration, and test at low speed first.
Before you install: Make sure the battery is charged, tires are properly inflated, brakes are working, and the stem, folding mechanism, and screws are secure. Higher speed increases braking distance, so regular maintenance is important.

German ABE and Public Road Notice

For German customers:
  • The JOYOR S5 ABE is originally designed for German ABE road approval.
