MTT SmartChip: Chip for Bosch Smart System (BES3)
The MTT SmartChip is a practical tuning chip to remove the 25 km/h limit on e-bikes with the Bosch Smart System (BES3). In contrast to the MTT SmartSensor ("MTT SmartSensor"), the MTT SmartChip is a convenient module solution that is very compact and easy to install. The module is tiny and, unlike some other modules, fits into even the smallest engine compartment. Once connected, the MTT SmartChip enables you to ride with full motor support, even at speeds well above 25 km/h.
The MTT SmartChip does not require its own battery; the power is supplied by the bike. When tuning is activated, the display will no longer show any real values above a speed of 25 km/h.
Tip: We recommend the use of GPS-enabled additional devices such as your smartphone if you want to display the correct speed while on the road. Suitable mounts for the handlebars are available in our shop.
The MTT solutions for Bosch Smart System motors are the best products for this special drive to date. They generate by far the fewest error messages with the new Bosch motors.
Three different operating modes
You can switch the MTT SmartChip on and off as required. There are three different operating modes to choose from. The desired operating mode is set when the E-Bike is started up by making certain wheel movements during which the spoke magnet is moved along the sensor.
-Tuning permanently activated (factory setting): Speed limit is cancelled, the real speed is only displayed up to 25 km/h.
-Tuning permanently deactivated: The e-bike functions as in its original state (motor support up to 25 km/h, correct speed display).
-Tuning according to switch-on condition: Here you can spontaneously specify when switching on the bike whether the tuning should be activated or not. To activate the tuning, the magnet must be in front of the sensor for at least 4 seconds when the E-Bike is switched on (sensor active), otherwise the tuning remains deactivated.
You even have the option of individually adjusting the maximum supported speed by means of certain wheel movements.
Note: When delivered, the MTT is always in "Tuning permanently activated" mode, with maximum speed assistance.
How it works
After installation, the MTT (with active tuning) will analyse and process the current speed profile and pass on manipulated values. This outwits and cancels the preset 25 km/h speed limit, allowing you to ride much faster with full motor support.
Please note:
As the MTT SmartChip locks out speeds above 25 km/h for the motor firmware when tuning is active, the displayed speed always remains ≤ 25 km/h. This means that the real speed is only displayed up to 25 km/h.
For this reason, the system's total kilometre display will no longer correspond to the real distance travelled.
Installation
For installation, the MTT SmartChip must be mounted in the engine compartment.
To gain access to the plug connections, the plastic cover of the engine (and sometimes also a crank) must be removed briefly.
MTT SmartChip for Bosch Smart System - Compatibility
This tuning module is compatible with e-bikes featuring the "Bosch Smart System" drive system, sometimes also referred to as "Bosch Gen4 2022", "Bosch Gen5" or "BES3" ("Bosch development stage 3"). With this drive system, mid-mounted motors are used.
Important:
-Not compatible with e-bikes that have a magnet on the valve (rim magnet). You need the RimBoost for this.
-Not compatible with Bosch e-bikes with ABS system.
Attention: Please do not carry out any Bosch updates after installing and using a tuning! Compatibility may then no longer be guaranteed!
Tip: Bosch Smart System e-bikes (BES3) can be easily recognised by the charging cable plug, among other things.
SQUARE plug = Bosch Smart System BES3 (Gen4) + Bosch Gen5:
ROUND plug = Bosch Gen2, Gen3 & Gen4:
If your Bosch e-bike charging cable has a square plug (as shown above), you have selected the correct tuning module (provided the bike does not have ABS or a rim magnet). If your Bosch e-bike does not have either connector, you either do NOT have a Bosch e-bike or an e-bike with the old Gen1 drive (Classic Line).

Important: Tuning measures on e-bikes and e-scooters mean that they are no longer permitted for use on public roads. Legally permissible use is therefore only possible on private property or - if permitted - in competitions. Driving an e-bike or e-scooter modified by tuning measures on public roads can lead to criminal liability for driving without a license as well as driving without insurance coverage. Tuning measures on the e-bike and e-scooter can lead to a loss of warranty rights and manufacturer warranties. In addition, tuning measures can lead to a loss of insurance coverage and accident victim assistance benefits in the event of accidents. The e-bike (or e-scooter) modified by tuning measures is exposed to an additional load due to the higher speed, which can lead to safety risks.
