The SpeedBox 3.0 tuning kit unlocks the true speed potential of your Bosch 3.0 powered e-bike. By overriding the factory speed limit, SpeedBox 3.0 allows you to customize your e-bike’s assistance level and experience exhilarating rides. This comprehensive guide will delve into the functionality, installation, and important considerations of using the SpeedBox 3.0 with your Bosch 3.0 e-bike system.
How Does SpeedBox 3.0 Work with Bosch 3.0?
SpeedBox 3.0 seamlessly integrates with your Bosch 3.0 motor system, allowing for simple activation and deactivation directly through your e-bike’s display. Activating the WALK assist function briefly displays 9.9 km/h (6.2 mph), enabling unrestricted speeds beyond the factory limit of 25 km/h. Enjoy speeds of 40 km/h, 50 km/h, and even exceeding 60 km/h.
To return to the factory default, simply reactivate the WALK assist function. A displayed value of 2.5 km/h (1.6 mph) indicates the speed limit has been reset to 25 km/h, effectively returning your e-bike to its original functionality. For e-bikes without a WALK assist function, a specific button combination (- + – +) activates and deactivates the SpeedBox 3.0.
Customizing Your Speed with SpeedBox 3.0 and Bosch 3.0
SpeedBox 3.0 allows for customized speed limits. By cycling through the assistance modes (Turbo – EMTB – Tour – Eco – Tour – EMTB – Turbo), you can adjust the maximum assisted speed. The display will show the corresponding speed limit: 1.5 km/h represents 15 km/h, 2.0 km/h represents 20 km/h, and so on. 9.9 km/h signifies an unlimited top speed. The selected limit is saved after 5 seconds of inactivity.
Important Considerations for Bosch 3.0 Users
For Bosch motors manufactured in 2020 or later (potentially part of the Bosch 3.0 line), a crucial step is required after each ride: leave the e-bike powered on until the display shows 0.0 km/h. The remaining time for this process will be displayed in minutes. This ensures proper data recording and prevents potential issues.
Installing SpeedBox 3.0 on Your Bosch 3.0 System
SpeedBox 3.0 is designed for straightforward installation. Color-coded connectors simplify the process, and comprehensive instructions and videos are available to guide you. Disassembly is equally easy. If you encounter any difficulties, contacting SpeedBox support is recommended. For new bikes, ride at least 10 km before activating the tuning kit. More detailed information can be found on the SpeedBox website.
Legal and Safety Considerations
Using SpeedBox 3.0 might be illegal on public roads in certain jurisdictions. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for damages resulting from improper use. Operate modified e-bikes responsibly and only on private property. Using SpeedBox 3.0 may void your e-bike’s warranty. Prioritize safety and wear appropriate protective gear. Avoid updating your e-bike’s firmware, as it can increase the risk of tuning detection and potentially damage the motor.
Optimizing Your SpeedBox 3.0 Experience
For smooth riding after short stops, keep one foot on a pedal to prevent the countdown from initiating. Allow for at least a partial countdown after longer stops. Longer rides might require several minutes for the countdown. Never remove the display before the countdown completes.
