Technical specifications
Remote updates
Bosch regularly releases new firmware versions for its motors, which may affect compatibility with our products or increase the risk of tuning detection. Therefore, we strongly recommend not performing these updates in order to ensure the continued full functionality of our products.
However, we continuously respond to these changes by updating our firmware. One of the biggest advantages of the B.Tuning version is the ability to update your SpeedBox directly via the SpeedBox App – without the need to purchase a new chip, even if you have already updated the system.
If we have tested and confirmed compatibility with the latest Bosch firmware and your chip includes the so-called Factory Bootloader (the icon is marked on the back of the chip), you can safely update your SpeedBox via the app.
Installation
Installing the device is easy and intuitive. Choose the option that suits you best — a video guide, a printed manual, or a detailed step-by-step picture guide.
Video guide
You can find a detailed installation and tuning activation procedure on our YouTube channel
Printed manual
Inside the product package you will find a printed manual including a wiring diagram for connecting the chip to the motor. Choose the standard or the +E-Tube Port diagram depending on whether your e-bike has a free E-Tube port.
Step by step
The illustrated guide will walk you through the installation step by step — from removing the motor cover to the test ride. Choose the manual that matches your wiring variant.
Warning
• Rules for using derestricted e-bikes vary by country, so check local legislation before riding.
• SpeedBox is intended for off-road use only and you use it at your own risk.
• The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by illegal or improper use.
