⚠️ Before You Unlock
Legality
Riding above the legal speed limit on public roads is illegal in most EU countries and can result in fines, insurance invalidation, or vehicle confiscation. Unlocked scooters are typically only legal to ride on private property. Check your local regulations before modifying.
Warranty
Modifying the firmware or speed settings will typically void the manufacturer warranty. Always check the specific warranty terms before proceeding.
Safety
Brakes, tires, and frame components are rated for stock speeds. Higher speeds increase stopping distances and place additional stress on the suspension, wheels, and structural components. Riding above rated speeds significantly increases injury risk in the event of an accident.
