Installing the VOLspeed is straightforward, making it accessible for both novices and seasoned riders. The process is plug-and-play, so you won’t need any complex tools or technical expertise to get it up and running. The chip seamlessly integrates with Bosch Smart System motors, preserving the integrity of your eBike. 

Speed & Performance

One of the standout features of this tuning kit is the ability to easily set a new max speed on the bike (up to 28mph/45kmh). Upon first installation, you'll be required to set a new max speed using the handlebar controls. Whenever you wish to derestrict your bike, simply activate the chip to remove the factory speed limit and set it to your chosen max speed. 

Customisation & Control

This kit allows riders to easily customise their speed settings directly from the display. You can toggle the tuning on or off, giving you flexibility depending on the type of ride or local regulations. This makes the tuning kit ideal for riders who want both performance enhancements and everyday usability. 
If you bike is fitted without a display, you will need to use the Bosch flow app to customise your max speed. Once you have selected your chosen speed, you do not need to continue using the app if you don't want to. 

Smooth & Reliable Tuning 

Whilst no tuning kit is 100% guarantee against error codes, especially on the Bosch Smart System. VOLspeed has one of the lowest error rates on the market due to it's superior anti tuning detection. In September 2024, they added improved metal connectors (previously they were 3D printed) to make the kit more robust and durable.

Final Verdict

For riders who want to unlock their Bosch eBike’s true potential, this VOLspeed for Bosch Smart System Tuning Kit delivers unmatched reliability and performance. With easy installation, precise speed setting, and low error rate, it’s an excellent investment for any serious eBike enthusiast.

Don't just take our word for it though. The kit has a 4.8 rating from over 100 of our riders (check them out for yourself here)

Hi, I bought a VOLspeed chip from you around a year ago.
Installed to a 2022 Trek Rail 9.8 with Bosch CX motor and smart system.
Worked fine initially on both speed and dynamic mode but has since stopped working. Will not respond to – + – + or – - + + – - from controller.
No fault codes displayed and bike rides normally except that motor restriction comes in at about 30 kph. Can you help please?
Thanks, Mike

Thanks for getting in touch, Martin. Battery life isn’t affected too much if you ride in eco/tour, riding on turbo and high speed will cause more drain on the battery.

So far we cannot get it to work. We are having a hard time setting it up because it is not picking up the magnet on the wheel. The installation video shows it being installed on a commuter style e-bike not a high performance Mtn bike like mine. Unno Mith any ideas on how we can get it working?

Hi. Have you had any problems from the speed box 2023 tuning chips? Following the January update from Bosch my bike has a manipulation error, are you aware of this?
