DIY: Electric bike MOD!(Vilano Atom Pt-4): Freewheel upgrade -HIGHER Top pedal speed!

Ok, finally got time to make a video on my 2017 Vilano Atom ( http://amzn.to/2fV0dX0 ) electric bike and upgrading it. This video applies to pretty much any hub motor ebike that has a cable coming out of the hub motor. Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

The stock Shimano 7 speed free had 14-30 teeth which on 20 inch tires had a top pedal speed of 13-15 MPH (20 kph). Swaping to a 11-30 teeth DNP Epoch Freewheel ( http://amzn.to/2fW2r8i ) allows the top pedal speed to go to about 18 mph (30 kph). This helps as with the pedal assist is up to 24 mph (40 kph). This will allow for more control over the bike at the higher speeds. This bike is governed to assist to 24 mph, I am not changing that, i am just upgrading the freewheels so it better matches the higher speeds of this bike.

Upgraded my Vilano Atom E-bike to pedal a little faster…

I got my compact 20 inch tire electric folding  Vilano Atom from Amazon ( http://amzn.to/2iahWu1 ). Its a relatively inexpensive electric bike with magnesium wheels and a 350 watt hub motor. Its original Shimano freewheel (14-30 teeth) was had a very large high gear which limited the maximum pedal  speed. I upgraded it to a 11-32 teeth DNP freewheel (http://amzn.to/2uMNVq3) for a 25% increase in top speed.  This electric bike can already accelerate to 24 mph with the electric assist to keep up with full size 26 inch bikes. You will need a Park Tool FRS 1.3 Freewheel tool to remove the old freewheel. Do not buy the DNP freewheel tool.. it doesnt always fit. I wasted 1 week after getting the tool only to realize it does not fit. See my video when i compare the two removers: https://youtu.be/VepywyXaxpA
