The SpeedBox 1.6 B.Tuning is the answer for demanding cyclists looking to maximise every ride. It allows you to push back the assistance limits of your Bosch motor, while giving you a detailed overview of your performance via the SpeedBox application. It’s the perfect tool for exploring new horizons on private roads or wherever legislation allows. Installation is surprisingly simple and discreet, preserving the original look of your EAB while boosting its capabilities tenfold. It’s the perfect choice for optimising your 5th generation Bosch VAE.
Compatibility
- Designed specifically for 5th generation Bosch Performance Line CX engines.
- Compatible with EABs equipped with a magnet on the valve (Bosch Rim Magnet) and the latest version of Bosch software.
- Warning: Not compatible with standard magnets, ABS systems or 4th generation motors.
Features
- Speed override: 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.
- Bluetooth connectivity and mobile application: connect your VAE to your smartphone via Bluetooth 4.0 or higher. The SpeedBox application lets you control the tuning, set the speed limit (up to 99 km/h), record and view your journeys, and access engine diagnostics.
- Data display: The SpeedBox app displays actual speed and other driving data in real time directly on your phone.
- Advanced modes: Take advantage of an “invisible mode” for total discretion.
- Activation/Deactivation: Tuning can be activated or deactivated via the mobile app or directly from the control unit of your VAE. An indication on the display shows its status.
Installation and maintenance
- Installation is disconcertingly simple, using your EAB’s original connectors, which makes the process straightforward and reduces the risk of error.
- Detailed instructions and videos are provided to guide you step by step.
- The module is easy to disassemble if necessary.
- Crucial tip: If you are installing it on a new bike, ride for at least 10 km before activating the tuning. Only activate/deactivate tuning when stationary, before starting or after completing your journey. After each ride, leave the EAB switched on until the display shows 0.0 km/h. It is also recommended not to update the firmware of your VAE to avoid the detection of the tuning.
How it works
The SpeedBox 1.6 B.Tuning ingeniously intervenes to modify the signal from your EAB’s speed sensor before it reaches the engine. This makes it possible to get round the default speed limit, by making the bike’s system believe that you’re travelling at a lower speed than in reality (for example, 25 km/h instead of 50 km/h). Bluetooth connectivity with the SpeedBox app gives you total control over these settings, allowing you to personalise your experience and access real-time data. This system guarantees smooth, continuous assistance, giving you the best possible ride.
Assembly
Assembly of the SpeedBox 1.6 B.Tuning is designed to be accessible to everyone, without the need for complex tools or in-depth technical knowledge. The kit is designed to connect directly to your EAB’s original connectors, making installation almost foolproof. The module is fitted with two diagonal screws, specifically for 5th generation motors. Comprehensive guides and video tutorials are available to support you every step of the way, ensuring that installation is quick and safe.
