Ok, if he did it under the seat, that means it has a Curtis controller, and he likely just turned the speed to maximum in the profile you are using. He would not have been able to enable Freedom mode with a handset. It would have taken a passkey to enable Freedom mode, and he would have charged you for that. The passkey costs a fair amount of money to buy. I can turn on Freedom mode with a programming computer, at no cost to me.
With the RXV, speed is driven by frequency, and torque is driven by current to that motor over its RPM range. The factory settings cut back on current in order to limit performance, for safer operation... This results with a stock RXV without Freedom mode to be limited to 507.6 Amps of combined 3 phase current. With Freedom mode enabled by passkey, this limit can be lowered to as little as 423 Amps of combined 3 phase current. So, the faster you try to go, the more the current is cut back. When I reprogram for performance, I restore the current to 100% of the controllers rating. This is why the stock controller can exceed the output of an aftermarket controller.
I can turn up the current on some of the stock controllers, but I do not recomend it. That would shorten its life. But if you want to work the RXV hard, you are going to want it turned up.
I speed it up by raising the RPM limit of the motor to double the default limit. The motor is capable of operating at 3 times the default limit. I do not push it that far... I have been on an RXV that went to that RPM limit once, and it was NOT fun. I still have the scars from that experience
