SpeedBox 1.0 B.Tuning for Bosch Smart System 2022 (BES3)

SpeedBox 1.0 B.Tuning for Bosch Gen4 Smart System 2022 (BES3)

The SpeedBox 1.0 completely removes the 25 km/h speed limit of Bosch e-bikes of the latest generation (Bosch Smart System 2022 / BES3). The tool gives you the possibility to use the full power of your drive and to ride much faster with full motor support. Unlike the "normal" SpeedBox 1.0 chip, this "B.Tuning" version is compatible with the SpeedBox app, which means you benefit from attractive additional functions. You can also monitor and save all the parameters of your ride on your mobile phone display (see below for the advantages of the SpeedBox app).

Important: Not compatible with e-bikes that have a magnet on the valve. These sensors are installed deep in the motor and cannot be optimised by modules.

Attention:

-We strongly advise against downloading the new Bosch engine software update 11.13.0 / 12.13.0, 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!

-Please do not carry out any Bosch updates after installing and using a tuning tool. The compatibility may no longer be given afterwards!

-We strongly recommend that you do not drive faster than 35 km/h when tuning is active, otherwise the integrated Bosch anti-tuning software could be triggered ("manipulation detection")!

Real speed remains readable

The SpeedBox 1.0 removes the speed limit of your Bosch Smart System e-bike completely. With active tuning, the display will show the correct speed up to a speed of 22.2 km/h. After exceeding this speed, the actual speed will be shown via the last two digits of the display. After exceeding this speed, the actual speed is shown via the last two digits of the display.

Example:

- 22.3 corresponds to a speed of 23 km/h

- 23.1 corresponds to a speed of 31 km/h

If you want to see the correct speed and all riding data during your ride, we recommend that you ride with the SpeedBox app. The best way to do this is to mount your smartphone directly on the handlebars so that you always have a clear view of all the data. You can find suitable mounts in our shop.

Tuning can be switched on and off

You can activate/deactivate the tuning chip at any time via the app or via the control buttons on your e-bike. To do this, simply activate the "WALK Assist" function briefly (keep the "-" button pressed). To confirm that the tuning has actually been activated, the e-bike display will briefly show a value of 9.9 km/h - this means that you can now ride at (theoretically) unlimited speed, there is no speed limit any more.

If you want to switch off the tuning again, you simply have to activate the "WALK Assist" function again briefly (by pressing the "-" button). The tuning is then deactivated and the maximum assisted speed has been limited to 25 km/h again. The display will briefly show a value of 2.5 km/h to confirm this. Your e-bike will then function normally again - as if no tuning chip had been installed.

If you have an e-bike that does not have the WALK support function activated, you can also activate/deactivate the tuning by switching between two support modes twice, i.e. by pressing the + - + - buttons.

Countdown for display of correct distance travelled

In order for your display to show the correct distance travelled, a countdown must be performed at the end of the ride. During charging, the countdown continues to run hidden in the background. This means that if you charge your e-bike with the battery connected, you can ignore the following instructions. But if you have to remove the battery from your e-bike to charge it, you must wait until the SpeedBox has completed a countdown after the ride. When you stop your e-bike, the running countdown process is indicated by the increasing riding time. When the countdown is finished, the increasing ride time stops and your e-bike display will show the correct ride distance. You can interrupt the countdown by switching off the e-bike or by starting it; this does not affect the use of your e-bike in any way. However, you should let the countdown run down regularly, as this can prevent a tuning detection.

Installation

SpeedBox 1.0 B.Tuning is a module or a chip that must be connected to the plug connections on the engine. This means that the protective cover of the engine must be removed briefly for installation. During production, SpeedBox uses original connectors, so installation is simple. Of course, the SpeedBox chip can be removed again if you want to return your e-bike to its original condition at some point.

The SpeedBox 1.0 B.Tuning module does not require its own battery.

Please note: If you have reinstalled the SpeedBox chip, you must go to the menu the first time you switch on your e-bike to check whether the wheel diameter is correct.

Important note: If you are installing the SpeedBox in a brand new e-bike, you should ride the bike for at least 1 km before switching on the chip for the first time.

This explanatory video shows you how to install the SpeedBox 1.0 B.Tuning module yourself:

SpeedBox App

The free SpeedBox app was specially developed for SpeedBox B.Tuning tools. The connection between the smartphone and the tuning chip is done wirelessly via Bluetooth. Using the practical app, you can display numerous useful data and trip parameters. You also have the option of saving routes you have ridden and to share them with friends, etc.

SpeedBox 1.0 B.Tuning for Bosch - Compatibility

The SpeedBox 1.0 B.Tuning Chip is compatible with the Bosch Gen4 Smart System 2022 (BES3) e-bike drive system.

Compatible with the SpeedBox app.

Not compatible with Bosch Smart System e-bikes with magnet on the valve (rim magnet)!

Not compatible with Bosch Smart System e-bikes with ABS system!

SpeedBox 1.0 B.Tuning is manufactured in the Czech Republic.

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).
