SpeedBox 1.3 B.Tuning for Shimano EP8 / EP800 with App

SpeedBox 1.3 B.Tuning for Shimano EP8 / EP800

E-Bike Tuning with app! In contrast to the "normal" SpeedBox 1.3 for Shimano EP8 / EP800 motors, the SpeedBox 1.3 "B.Tuning" is compatible with the SpeedBox app, so that the range of functions is significantly extended. The core function is, of course, still the removal of the 25 km/h speed limit, so that you can ride much faster with full motor support. Using the app, you can, for example, save trip data and call it up at will.

The SpeedBox 1.3 B.Tuning tool is a newly designed chip or module that has to be connected to the engine. The chip comes not only with completely new hardware and firmware, but also with Bluetooth technology for connection to the smartphone.

Important note: The manufacturer recommends not exceeding a speed of 35 km/h to avoid error W011. For B.Tuning models, the maximum speed can be set accordingly in the SpeedBox app.

After installing the SpeedBox 1.3 tuning chip, the e-bike display only shows real values up to a speed of 23 km/h. Above this, however, you can easily view the real values (current speed, etc.) via the SpeedBox app on your smartphone. We therefore recommend simply attaching your mobile phone to the handlebar using a special holder.

Note: If you have a Shimano e-bike without a free e-tube connection (for example a bike with Di2 gear shift), please select the "+e-tube port" variant. This is usually the case for Shimano e-bikes with one of the following components:

-Satellite System ON/OFF Switch

-Di2 derailleur gears

Tuning can be switched on and off

The SpeedBox 1.3 B.Tuning chip is very easy to operate. You can easily switch the tuning on and off with the light button on your bike: As long as the light is off, the tuning is active and there is no longer a 25 km/h speed limit (light off = tuning active). If you switch on the light, the tuning chip is deactivated and the e-bike works as usual with maximum motor support only up to 25 km/h (light on = tuning off).

Thanks to the SpeedBox app, you can also use the light button independently of the tuning function. Simply activate the double-click function in the app and you can activate or deactivate the tuning by double-clicking the light button.

Installation

The SpeedBox 1.3 B.Tuning chip simply needs to be connected to the plug connections at the engine. To gain access to the plug connections, the engine cover must be removed briefly. To ensure the easiest possible connection, only original connectors are used in the production of the SpeedBox 1.3 B.Tuning Chip. Unlike earlier versions of the SpeedBox, the SpeedBox 1.3 must be plugged into the E-Tube connector of the engine.

Please note: If you want to install the SpeedBox 1.3 B.Tuning Chip in a brand new e-bike, you must first ride the e-bike for at least 1 km before activating the tuning chip for the first time.

Advantages of the SpeedBox app

Our tip: Before you order the SpeedBox 1.3 B.Tuning module, you should first download the SpeedBox app to check whether it is fully functional on your smartphone. Use the demo version to get to know all the advantages of the app.
