Browser-Based Tuning for Bosch Gen3 BES2 – with a Separate Solution Path for Bosch Smart System BES3

Bosch Gen3 systems are known for their smooth ride feel, balanced support and strong everyday usability. For many Bosch Gen3 e-bikes on BES2, the browser-based solution path is the EBT Unlock Key.

The EBT Unlock Key is intended for many classic Bosch systems from Gen1 to Gen4 on BES1 / BES2, without classic chip installation, without opening the motor and without extra hardware on the bike.

If your bike does not belong to the classic Bosch BES2 platform but instead to the Bosch Smart System / BES3, the correct browser-based path is the EBTsmart Unlock Key.

Important Notice for Bosch Smart System Riders

This page is about Bosch Gen3 on BES2. If your bike belongs to the Bosch Smart System / BES3, the EBT Unlock Key is not the correct path.

For Bosch Smart System bikes, the browser-based main solution is the EBTsmart Unlock Key. On Smart System, matching should follow BDU first, then rim magnet, then ABS, then eShift.

Display Behavior After Unlocking

  • On classic Bosch Gen2–Gen4 systems, displayed values are typically shown at about half of the real values after activation due to system-related limitations.
  • This is normal classic Bosch system behavior and does not affect the unlocked riding support itself.
  • On Bosch Smart System, display behavior follows the Smart System solution path and selected mode instead.

The EBT Unlock Key remains a clean browser-based path for many classic Bosch systems: no classic chip, no dongle and no motor opening required.

  • Remove the factory 25 km/h speed limit and unlock the supported system potential
