Suitable for all Active Line, Active Line Plus, Performance Line and Performance Line CX motors up to model year 2022. Only the Classic motors, model year 2013 or older and the new Smart System (BES3) in model year 2023 are not supported.
Not suitable for BES3 with PowerTube 750!
Compatible with the displays Purion, Intuvia, Kiox, Nyon and the new Nyon 2021 (BUI350). For Smartphone Hub and COBI.Bike, please see the information below.
The device is installed invisibly from the outside on the motor. The installation is done in 15 minutes with a little technical skill. No cables have to be damaged or modified, the module is simply plugged in and is immediately ready for operation. The module is absolutely waterproof, because the complete electronics is potted.
No PC or smartphone is required. All settings are made conveniently via the control buttons on the bike.
It is possible to set the speed limit, the downshift behavior and also the strength of the support via the display. In contrast to the almost complete elimination of speed limitation in other tuning modules, this module still allows a very sporty riding style with moderate battery consumption by slightly increasing the limit, e.g. to 32km/h. The very abrupt interruption of the motor support at the speed limit is much smoother due to the dynamic mode. Through the alternative mode it is possible in each support mode (TURBO, EMTB/SPORT, TOUR, ECO) to define the strength of the motor support yourself. You can even adjust the support depending on the speed. The original settings of the motor, however, always remain available and you can very easily switch between your self-defined levels and the original settings during the ride.
The following software versions have been successfully tested on the Bosch motors (All older software versions are also compatible):
Active Line Gen2 from 2014: 1.8.6.0
Active Line (Plus) Gen3 from 2018: 1.2.3.0 / 1.3.0.0 * / 1.3.3.0 *
Performance Line Gen3 from 2020: 1.2.3.0 / 1.3.0.0 * / 1.3.3.0 *
Performance Line (CX) Gen2 2014-2019: 1.8.6.0
Performance Line CX Gen4 MY2020: 1.0.3.0 / 1.1.0.0 * / 1.1.2.0 * / 1.1.5.0 *
Cargo Line from 2020: 1.1.2.0 * / 1.1.5.0 *
*) We recommend setting a maximum speed limit of 35km / h to permanently prevent the manipulation detection (error 504) from responding. A higher limit does not necessarily lead to an error, but increases the probability significantly.
Software versions by display type:
Purion: 1.4.0.0
Intuvia: 5.9.2.0
Kiox: 4.0.4.0
Nyon 1GB: 1.9.2.0
Nyon 8GB: 2.9.2.0
Nyon ab 2021: 4.0.1.0
Smartphone Hub: 1.0.9.0
COBI.Bike: 1.16.4
For the smartphone hub, COBI.Bike and Nyon from 2021 are required the instructions for COBI.
Software versions by battery pack:
PowerPack&PowerTube: 1.12.1.0
When ordering, please let us know if you are using COBI so that we can provide the appropriate instructions!
We recommend, once you have installed the module and everything works perfectly, not to make any new software updates, as the module has been programmed for the current software version! It cannot be guaranteed that a tuning will still work properly after an update because it was programmed for the current version and for older versions.
- New: Automatic initialisation, immediately ready for operation after installation.
- Tuning can be switched on or off via buttons on the control unit.
- After switching on, the speed limit can be freely set in the range 25 – 45km/h via the plus/minus keys. The last set value is saved.
- Tuning is always switched off after switching on the bike.
- Setting of a smoother “throttling behaviour” possible (dynamic mode). The otherwise very abrupt cut-off at the speed limit is thus significantly softened.
- New: Assistance levels can be individually configured (alternative mode). An individual configuration can be defined for each assistance level and called up very easily during the ride. (Function not available with Smartphone Hub and Cobi).
- Individual activation code can be set (function not available with Smartphone Hub and Cobi).
- Correct display of speed, distance travelled and average speed at all times.
- Residual range calculation from current riding style with active tuning.
- Battery display in percent alternating with the remaining range when tuning is active. Interval: 4 seconds range, one second battery level (Intuvia and Purion only).
- Correct total km reading of the bike even after removing the tuning module, as the kilometres in the motor control are corrected by the tuning module.
The tuning module is plugged into the connections of the drive unit. These are located under the left motor cover. Depending on the bike type you need different tools to remove this cover. Mostly you need an ISIS crank puller and a Torx key TX20.
Note COBI.bike/SmartphoneHUB
If you use the tuning together with a COBI.bike or SmartphoneHub, the operation changes. We have summarized the differences in the following instructions:
COBI
Softwareupdates
We generally advise against software updates of the Bosch drive system after installation of a tuning module. It cannot be guaranteed that the tuning module will also be compatible with future software versions of the drive system.

Legal and safety information / product liability
Operation of the e-bike in public traffic is no longer permitted after installation of the module. The use is only allowed on private or designated test and race tracks.
Damage caused in connection with the operation of the e-bike will not be covered by a private insurance after installation.
Liability, warranty and warranty claims against the dealer or manufacturer of the e-bike expire or are severely limited.
The e-bike is subject to a higher mechanical stress by operating at higher speeds for which it is not designed. This results in additional security risks.
The installation and operation of the module is at your own risk. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage that is connected with the operation of the device.
Please inform yourself before installing the device about possible further technical and legal consequences.
