Many have praised the Pure Advance+ electric scooter for its long range and water resistance.
However, the most common complaint about this e-scooter is its top speed; just 25km/h.
Sorry to break your heart this early, but the Pure Advance+ speed limitation is internally regulated.
That means since the scooter uses a software speed limitation, no cable cutting or upgrading firmware will make it faster.
Pure Advance+ Speed Solution
To make the Pure Advance+ electric scooter faster, you will have to bear several costs as that involves buying more advanced components and just using the shell.
Since the parts have software limitations such as the Battery Management System, controller, and throttle, you will need to buy all these parts and do away with the stock ones.
The problem at that point is that these parts are pricy and you will have to spend so much time waiting for them as only Chinese sites such as AliExpress deal in them.
Again, modding your Pure Advance+ e-scooter will mean that you have voided your warranty. There are other risks to consider, too, such as the risk of causing an electric scooter fire, especially if you aren’t electrically inclined.
Swapping out the components with more powerful ones will make your ride faster, but the high costs of parts and the waiting time aren’t worth it.
What Should I Do If I Already Own The Pure Advance+ Scooter?
Keep It Stock
If you love the Advance+ for what it is but speed is the only limiting factor for you, we recommend that you don’t mod it as a way to hack the speed.
Instead, you can keep it and work on your budget to get a faster scooter for private use. The good thing is that most overseas scooter sellers send rides to the UK when they are speed-limited using a remote control.
Riders can restrict or derestrict such models with a single button.
Sell Your Advance+ And Upgrade To A Faster Model
If you have outgrown that max speed and don’t want to be a collector and keep the Pure Advance+, how about selling it on online marketplaces?
Instead of bearing more costs to buy and swap out parts, you can use such funds to upgrade to faster rides, especially if you would like to stay within the laws and ride it on your private land.
