Badass Box 4 for Bosch

Badass Box 4 for Bosch e-bikes (Gen1, Gen2, Gen3, Gen4 & Smart System)

The Badass Box 4 is only compatible with the Bosch sensor shown above, which is located on the chain stay.

The latest and best badass box for e-bikes with Bosch mid-mounted motors, compatible with most old Bosch motors and even the new Bosch 2020 / Gen4 drives. This tuning tool completely removes the 25 km/h speed limit so that you can finally get the full power out of your Bosch motor. Of course, the tuning can be cancelled at any time and the e-bike returned to its original condition.

How it works

After installation and mounting, the Badass Box 4 transmits a modified signal to the motor so that the 25 km/h speed limit is completely removed. This is done contact-free without any electrical connection to the engine, damage to the drive is impossible.

Important note: When tuning is activated (box plugged in), the e-bike display will functionally show an incorrect speed (also applies to values derived from this). To determine the real speed, we recommend using a GPS-based additional device (smartphone, bike computer, etc.).

The best Badass Box ever

The most important innovations in the Badass Box V4 for Bosch are a new, slimmer housing with a patented snap lock, which makes it even easier to put on and take off the box (the snap lock replaces the O-ring of the previous version). Thanks to the slimmer design, it is no longer possible to fit the box too tightly. Now the Badass Box can be plugged in or unplugged in no time at all with just one hand, allowing the tuning to be switched on or off at any time. In addition, the range has been significantly increased (7,000 km) and the box is now even more robust thanks to special potting compound from the automotive industry. By the way, at the special request of the customer, an optional fastening safety device has been provided by means of cable ties on the snap lock.

The previous CR2 battery has been replaced by a new AAA battery that only needs to be changed every 7,000 km or after 1 year (due to battery discharge). The high range is made possible by the specially developed field enhancement technology FEET ("Field Enhancement & Elimination Technology"). Of course, the battery can be changed at any time - AAA batteries can be bought cheaply on practically every corner. You can easily replace the battery yourself, no tools are needed.

Thanks to a special potting compound, the Badass Box 4 is now also optimally protected against moisture and mechanical stress.

Each Badass Box 4 is tested for correct function before and after potting.

This tuning tool is a quality product made in Germany.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE:

2. if you have a Bosch e-bike where the sensor integrated into the dropout of the e-bike has the following shape, you have the so-called G4 sensor, which is used on TREK e-bikes, for example:

Badass Box 4 for Bosch - Installation

The installation of the Badass Box 4 is easy and can be done by yourself - it is not necessary to open the engine in a complicated way. The box simply needs to be fitted over the Bosch speed sensor next to the rear wheel. As soon as the snap lock engages, the box is securely fastened. Additional (optional) securing via cable ties is also possible.

We recommend replacing the spoke magnet screw with the supplied Toolfree screw during initial assembly. This allows for future relocation without the need for tools. After the Badass Box has been placed on the sensor, the spoke magnet must be moved - towards the edge of the housing in the direction of the snap lock. When the spoke magnet touches the Badass Box, the spoke magnet has to be placed as close as possible to the Badass Box and turned by 90° - that's it, the installation is finished!

To remove the tuning, simply pull off the box and move the spoke magnet to its original position - thanks to the Toolfree screw, this can be done in seconds, without any tools.
