Speedbox 3.1 B.Tuning for Brose Specialized eBikes

Speedbox 3.1 B.Tuning Brose Specialized/SRAM eBike Tuning Kit | Premium Bluetooth Version

Unlike the previous two models, this Speedbox is fitted to the motor itself. Due to how the TCD is fitted, it requires a different type of tuning kit. Installation does take a bit longer, you'll need the correct tools to remove the cover from the motor to gain access. Here's why riders love this tuning kit;

 

  • Simple activation using the handlebar controls or Speedbox app
  • Custom max speed, trip tracking & diagnostics 
  • Lifetime warranty 

If you are looking for a cheaper option and don't want the advanced features, you can opt for this standard version (same performance just none of the bluetooth connectivity)

Thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately, we have no compatible chip yet for the new Specialized SL 1.2 motors. We’re launching new eBike products all the time so keep an eye on our website and socials for updates.

I bought a 2023 Turbo Vado 3.0.
At present it’s limited to only 32 km/hr but it’s geared to go much higher.
Which tuning kit do you recommend?

Hi Ebike Tuner

I am interested in the Speedbox 3.0 but have a few questions

Firstly i have a Specialized 5.0 turbo IGH WITH Brose 2.2 motor manufactured in 2022.

Can Specialized Mission Control display on the bike still be used to display information & still be used to configure the bike via the Specialized App

Will the Mission Control display on the bike still work once a Speedbox is installed, if yes will the Mission Control continue to display my true speed?

Can Specialized detect the Speedbox chip when they perform a system upgrade?
Your publication material says the chip is completely undetectable, what exactly is meant by that.

If I remove the Speedbox chip after some usage can Specialized detect there has been a Speedbox chip used in the past?

Is it likely that Specialized would introduce a software update that would disable to Speedbox chip ?

Finally I understand I can set the speed limit with the Speed box and will probably set it to the motors design speed capability of 28.8 mph but what is the maximum speed that it could be set to?

Thanks so much

Regards

Colin
