Badass Box 4 for Pendix e-bike drives

Ride without limits and finally enjoy the full potential of your e-bike - this tuning tool makes it possible! The optimised version of the Badass Box is now also available in a version especially for e-bikes with Pendix mid-mounted motors (Pendix is a system with which normal bikes can be upgraded to motorised e-bikes).

The Badass Box 4 completely removes the 25 km/h speed limit of your Pendix motor. The tuning can be switched on or off at any time. All you have to do is plug or unplug the box and move the spoke magnet a little. With the optimised Badass Box 4, this is now quicker and easier than ever before, thanks to the slimmer housing and a patented snap lock.

This tuning tool is battery-powered and has a range of around 7,000 km or 1 year (due to battery discharge). This is made possible by the use of a powerful AAA battery and the specially developed, patented field enhancement technology "FEET" ("Field Enhancement & Elimination Technology"). Of course, the battery can be replaced at any time, without any tools. Suitable replacement batteries can be found inexpensively almost everywhere.

Since the electronics of the Badass Box 4 are glued and sealed into the housing with a special potting compound from the automotive industry, they are very well protected against moisture and mechanical stress.

The Badass Box 4 was developed and manufactured in Germany - a real quality product "Made in Germany". Every single box is tested for correct function before and after encapsulation.

How it works

As soon as the Badass Box 4 is plugged in, it transmits a modified signal without contact, i.e. without interfering with the motor electronics or software (the Pendix drive cannot be damaged in the process). This effectively tricks the system so that the 25 km/h speed limit is removed.

Due to this special mode of operation, the speedometer of the e-bike no longer shows the correct speed when tuning is active (= box attached). This also applies to values derived from the speed. We recommend the use of GPS-based additional devices to display the correct speed (e.g. smartphones or bicycle computers).

Compared to the previous versions, the Badass Box 4 for Pendix has a whole range of improvements:

-Completely redesigned, significantly slimmer housing, so that installation situations that are too tight are finally a thing of the past.

-The O-ring of the previous version has been replaced by a patented snap lock that allows the box to be plugged in and unplugged even faster.

-Longer range than ever before (up to 7,000 km), as the previous CR2 battery has been replaced by a much more powerful AAA battery.

-From now on, an additional optional fastening security by means of cable ties at the snap lock is possible.

Installation

The installation of this tuning tool is simple and can also be done by yourself. With the Badass Box 4, it is not necessary to open the motor housing for installation.

Simply mount the box over the Pendix speed sensor next to the rear wheel (you will find the speed sensor on the chain stay of your bike). When the snap lock engages, the box is securely attached to the sensor. If you wish, you can additionally secure the tool with cable ties.

Tip: When mounting the sensor for the first time, you should replace the screw of the spoke magnet with the lug screw included in the delivery. Once this has been done, you can easily move the spoke magnet in the future without additional tools.

After placing the Badass Box 4 on the speed sensor, the spoke magnet must be moved towards the edge of the housing in the direction of the snap lock. Now the e-bike is tuned and the 25 km/h speed limit of the Pendix motor has been removed.

To undo the tuning, simply remove the Badass Box and move the spoke magnet back to its original position. The e-bike is then back in its original state.
