The SpeedBox 1.3 B.Tuning is a technological feat for cyclists who demand the very best from their Shimano VAE. Featuring a new hardware and software design, it establishes a unique connection between your bike and your smartphone, allowing you to unlock the speed of the electric assistance and explore new horizons on private land or where legislation permits. Installation is surprisingly simple and discreet, preserving the original look of your bike while boosting its capabilities. It’s the perfect choice for an intelligent, powerful and perfectly optimised Shimano motor.

Features

Installation and maintenance

- Detailed instructions and videos are provided to guide you step by step.
- The module is easy to disassemble if necessary.
How it works
The SpeedBox 1.3 B.Tuning ingeniously fits into the system of your EAB by connecting to the E-Tube port on the motor, and modifies the speed sensor signal before it reaches the motor. This makes it possible to bypass the default speed limit, by making the bike’s system believe that you are travelling at a lower speed than in reality. In this way, the electric assistance remains active beyond its usual limit. Thanks to Bluetooth connectivity and the SpeedBox application, you have precise control over the settings (including the customisable speed limit) and real-time access to your performance data. This system guarantees smooth, continuous assistance for a powerful, tailor-made ride.
Assembly
Assembly of the SpeedBox 1.3 B.Tuning has been designed to be accessible to everyone, without the need for complicated tools or advanced technical knowledge. The kit is designed to connect directly to your EAB’s original connectors, making installation almost foolproof. It usually only takes a few minutes to connect the module. Comprehensive guides and video tutorials are available to support you every step of the way, ensuring that installation is quick and safe.
