The SpeedBox 1.1 is the solution you need if you’re looking for increased performance from your Bosch VAE. Designed for seamless integration, it allows you to optimise assistance speed without compromising the aesthetics of your bike. Ideal for trips off the beaten track or in authorised areas, this module is a real asset for a more dynamic and exciting riding experience. It’s the perfect choice for boosting your Bosch VAE with ease.
Compatibility
- Designed for all Bosch Smart System displays and motors, including SX motors.
- Compatible with the latest Bosch software.
- Warning: Not compatible with the Bosch Rim Magnet and the ABS system.
Features
- This module removes the speed limit on electric assistance. The maximum speed is unlimited, but a speed of 35 km/h is recommended to minimise the risk of error codes.
- Tuning can be activated or deactivated using the WALK assist function on your VAE or by pressing the – + – + button combination.
- An indication of 3.5 km/h (2.2 mph) is displayed when tuning is activated, and 2.5 km/h (1.6 mph) when it is deactivated.
- The distance travelled will be correctly displayed after the countdown procedure.
Installation and maintenance
- Installation is designed to be simple, using your EAB’s original connectors, which makes the process much easier and reduces the risk of error.
- Detailed instructions and videos are available to guide you step by step.
- We recommend that you ride a new bike for at least 10 km before activating the tuning.
- Crucial tip: Only activate/deactivate tuning when the EAB is stationary, not when riding. After each ride, leave the bike on until the display shows 0.0 km/h. It is also recommended not to update the firmware of your VAE (deactivating automatic updates is recommended) to avoid the detection of tuning and preserve the SpeedBox warranty.
How it works
SpeedBox 1.1 intervenes by modifying the speed information transmitted by your EAB’s sensor to the motor. It acts as an intelligent “translator”, making your bike believe that you are travelling at a lower speed than you actually are (for example, 25 km/h instead of 50 km/h). This keeps the electric assistance active well beyond its usual limit. This process ensures smooth, continuous assistance, giving you an enhanced riding experience and the ability to reach higher speeds where permitted.
Assembly
The SpeedBox 1.1 can be fitted by anyone, without the need for complex tools or advanced technical knowledge. The kit is designed to connect directly to the original connectors on your EAB, making installation almost foolproof. It usually only takes a few minutes to connect the module between the speed sensor and the motor. Comprehensive guides and video tutorials are available to help you every step of the way, ensuring that installation is quick and safe. So you’ll be ready to take advantage of your bike’s new capabilities in no time.
