SpeedBox 1.5 Tuning Chip for Bosch Performance Line SX Gen4 (BDU3144/BDU3145)
SpeedBox 1.5 is a tuning chip for Bosch Performance Line SX 4th-generation motors (BDU3144, BDU3145) on Smart System e-bikes with the valve-mounted Bosch Rim Magnet. It removes the factory 25 km/h speed limiter; the limit can be set up to 99 km/h, but the manufacturer recommends not exceeding 35 km/h to avoid error codes.
Installation is simplified: there is no separate magnet simulator to position, and the chip connects with original connectors.
Real speed is not shown on the bike's display during the ride; correct distance appears once the post-ride countdown finishes. For live speed on your phone, see the B.Tuning version.

How to Use
- Before installing on a new bike, ride at least 10 km.
- Connect the male and female connectors in the direction of the lock; do not twist or rotate them while connecting.
- With the bike stationary, activate tuning by holding the '-' button to engage WALK assist (or use the - + - + sequence if WALK is not enabled). The display shows 3.5 km/h when tuning is on.
- Repeat to deactivate; the display shows 2.5 km/h and the limit returns to 25 km/h.
- Set a custom speed limit (up to 99 km/h) by switching modes TURBO, eMTB, TOUR+, ECO, TOUR+, eMTB, TURBO. The display shows the selected limit (2.5 km/h = 25 km/h, 3.0 km/h = 30 km/h, 3.5 km/h = 35 km/h), which is saved after 15 seconds of inactivity.
- After each ride, leave the bike switched on until the display shows 0.0 km/h and do not remove the display before this countdown finishes; it can take several minutes after a long ride. For short stops keep one foot on the pedal to prevent the countdown starting.
