In this blog post we are going to explain how you can derestrict your Specialized eBike using a tuning chip. Before we start, please note that removing the speed limit on your eBike can potentially void your warranty, eBikes with the speed restriction removed are illegal and only to be used on private land.

What display does your Specialized eBike have?

Before we jump in to the different tuning chips for Specialized eBikes we need to establish what form of display your bike has. By understanding what display you have, it makes selecting the right tuning kit a breeze.

You can find your display below:

Mastermind TCU

This display is commonly found on flagship models like S Works Turbo Levo or Turbo Creo SLs

LED TCU Display
 

You'll find this display on 2024 mid-range models such as Turbo Levo Alloy & Turbo Levo SL as well as older generation Turbo Levo's from 2019-2021

Turbo Connect Unit (TCD) Display


This display can be found on the Specialized Tero range

Best Tuning Kit for Specialized eBikes with TCD Display

Speedbox 3.0 B.Tuning for Brose Specialized eBikes

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)
