SpeedBox 1.2 B.Tuning for Bosch Smart System with rim magnet

Attention: We strongly advise against downloading the new Bosch engine software update 11.13.0, as this can lead to incompatibilities with SpeedBox Tuning. Please note that the warranty for SpeedBox products does not cover malfunctions caused by updating the engine. So please do not install any Bosch updates!

The SpeedBox 1.2 B.Tuning chip removes the 25 km/h speed limit from Bosch Smart System (BES3) e-bikes with a rim magnet, allowing you to ride much faster with full motor support. Advantage: This B.Tuning chip is compatible with the practical SpeedBox app, so you benefit from numerous useful additional functions. The connection between the chip and the app is wireless via Bluetooth. Enjoy unlimited driving fun with all the benefits of the SpeedBox app!

On the road, you can monitor your real speed in the SpeedBox app on the display of your smartphone.

With the SpeedBox 1.2 B.Tuning Chip, you can even set the desired top speed to an individual value. However, you should not set a value above 35 km/h, as this could trigger the Bosch anti-tuning software.

Important: The "SpeedBox 1.2 B.Tuning for Bosch Gen4 Smart System (BES3) from 2022 with rim magnet" will be available from January 2024.

SpeedBox 1.2 B.Tuning for Bosch Smart System e-bikes with rim magnet is manufactured in the Czech Republic.

Tuning can be activated / deactivated

After connecting the chip, you can easily switch the tuning on and off via the app.

The tuning chip is easy to operate. Tuning can not only be switched on via the SpeedBox app, but also by briefly pressing the WALK function (press and hold the "-" button). For confirmation, the E-Bike display briefly shows the value 3.5 km/h (2.2 mph). This indicates that tuning has been activated and the 25 km/h limit has been cancelled.

To switch off the tuning, simply press the WALK function again briefly (press and hold the "-" button). The value 2.5 km/h (1.6 mph) is briefly shown on the display - this indicates that tuning has been deactivated; the speed limit is back to 25 km/h.

There are also e-bikes on which the WALK function is not available or active. In this case, tuning can also be switched on and off by double-switching between two modes, i.e. by pressing the - + - + button combination.

Tuning should always be switched on and off before the ride and not during the ride!

The manufacturer SpeedBox also advises leaving the Bosch e-bike switched on after the end of the ride until the SpeedBox has completed the "countdown" in order to avoid any tuning detection (the countdown is indicated by continuing the ride time on the display until it stops and the correct total distance is finally displayed).

Setting the maximum speed

The maximum speed can be set via the SpeedBox app if required.

Alternatively, you can also change the maximum supported speed by switching the modes - starting from TURBO mode - three steps down and then three steps up again: TURBO - eMTB - TOUR+ - ECO - TOUR+ - eMTB - TURBO. The current speed limit is then displayed. The speed limit can be reset by briefly pressing the WALK function or turning the rear wheel 360°. A displayed speed of 2.5 km/h would correspond to a maximum speed of 25 km/h, 3.0 would be 30 km/h, 3.5 would correspond to 35 km/h, etc. The last displayed speed limit is saved after 15 seconds of inactivity.

The manufacturer advises not to exceed a maximum speed of 35 km/h.

By the way: With the SpeedBox B.Tuning Chip, the use of the SpeedBox App is by no means mandatory. However, the app is a great accessory with many advantages.

We recommend: Before you order the SpeedBox B.Tuning chip, you should first download the app to your mobile phone on a trial basis. You can then use the demo version to familiarise yourself with all the features. In addition, you will then know for sure whether the app runs on your smartphone (Bluetooth 4.0 or higher required).

Installation

SpeedBox 1.2 B.Tuning is a tuning chip that must be firmly connected to the plug connections on the e-bike drive. Original connectors are used in the production of the tuning chip, which ensures that the connection is as simple and correct as possible.

When you start the SpeedBox app for the first time, you will be asked to set a PIN. You must enter this PIN each time you start the SpeedBox app. Once you have confirmed the PIN, you will also be asked to set a service password (super PIN). You can use the password if you have forgotten the PIN or want to change it.

If you install a SpeedBox 1.2 B.Tuning chip in a brand new E-Bike, you must ride at least 10 km on the E-Bike before you switch on the chip for the first time.

Important

Connect the plugs in the direction of the lock and do not rotate the connectors when plugging them in!

Important information - Please note:

-A maximum speed of 35 km/h should not be exceeded.

-SpeedBox recommends not updating the software of the Bosch e-bike.

-The activation or deactivation of the tuning chip should always be done before the ride and not during the ride.

-Leave the e-bike switched on for a while after the end of the ride until the SpeedBox has finished the "countdown" (indicated by the continuation of the ride time on the display until it stops and the correct ride distance is displayed) to avoid tuning detection by the Bosch software.

-If you want to install a SpeedBox 1.2 B.Tuning chip in a brand new E-Bike, you must first ride at least 10 km on the E-Bike before activating the chip for the first time.
