Recommended Maximum Setting
The factory-set maximum assistance speed is 35 km/h.
Do not increase the selected maximum above 35 km/h, as higher settings may affect reliable operation or increase the risk of system errors and tuning detection.
Recommendations for Reliable Operation
To help ensure trouble-free operation:
Leave the e-bike switched on after each ride until the distance-recalculation countdown has finished.
During short stops, keep one foot resting on a pedal to help prevent the countdown from starting.
During longer stops, allow at least part of the countdown process to complete.
Do not disconnect the display before the countdown has finished.
Activate or deactivate tuning only before or after riding.
Do not activate or deactivate tuning while the e-bike is moving.
Do not increase the selected maximum assistance speed above 35 km/h.
Software Update Warning
Do not update the Bosch motor, display or Smart System software while the SpeedBox is installed.
Disable automatic software updates where possible. Manufacturer software updates may affect compatibility, cause operating faults or increase the risk of tuning detection.
Installation on a New E-Bike
Before installing or activating the SpeedBox on a brand-new e-bike, ride the bike for at least 10 km.
This allows the motor and electronic system to complete their initial setup.
Software Compatibility Chart
Software compatibility may vary depending on the Bosch Smart System version installed on the e-bike.
