In my country they allow some small motorbikes to be ridden by 14 years old if it’s limited to not exceed 45 km/h.
The physical limitation used 30+ years ago (a bottleneck in intake + different cylinders in the CVT) could be removed as easy as the software limitations that are used today. Maybe even easier than today as it didn’t require a specialized tablet and an expensive software license
Also, that’s absolutely horrendous for emissions and air pollution. I think it’s essentially impossible to have emissions control not tied to software.
Weirdly enough there’s a pretty easy way to stop emissions limits from being bypassed - make it a physical limitation, not in software.
But like with putting tablets into every fucking car nowadays, doing anything physically would require just a bit more money, ergo it won’t be done.

You mean like the billion physical DEF delete kits that have been sold and installed?
How would that work? I’m a diesel technician and a lot of the work I do is emissions related.
I guess we’d have to go back to using carburetors
Carburetors on a diesel engine?

Yeah because that’ll be great for emissions lol
Also carbs make it pretty easy to adjust fueling, etc.
Right, but that’s how it was done before computers.
how do you have 0 software?
these hacks are pretty low level and you need something driving the control through the bus to the sensors and response
these systems are a feedback response not a fixed thing
