Yeah it’s definitely a Smart System. The Speed motor is a new addition to the system. Was just released two weeks ago.
Two Bosch service reps confirmed that the Speed motor does not have custom riding modes and that the website is incorrect. Bummer.
So I just got word from Bosch support again and they say the pedelecs do not get custom ride support due to regulations:
I’m a bit pissed about this because the website for the speed motor specifically mentions custom ride support. I feel a little mislead. :/
Really not sure why regulations...
Is there a website that explains all of the different modes so I can decide which ones I want on my bike?
I just received my Charger 4 with the Bosch Performance Line Speed Motor (45km/h) and I had the following modes pre-installed:
- Eco
- Auto
- Sport
- Turbo
I really have no idea what the...
Does anyone here have the Bosch Performance Line SPEED motor?
My dealer told me I’m probably one of the first in Europe to take delivery of one so I assume no? I’d love to find out if this issue is maybe related to the Speed motor?
Yeah I emailed support. I’m just terrified they’ll tell me “oh yeah… for the speed version of the motor custom ride modes are not supported. The info on our website is an oversight. Our apologies.”
And then I sunk 6k on a bike without custom ride modes which was THE feature I really wanted...
I just picked up my R&M Charger 4 with the Bosch Performance Line Speed (Smart System) motor.
I was most excited about being able to change the driving modes to my liking as shown in all the smart system videos:
However, in my Flow app it does not show the “Custom Riding Modes” tile:
I...
Yeah I would probably try the chips first but as they seem to be still really unreliable I would love to have a backup option. Just don’t want to be stuck with at 6k bike at 25km/h. That would really piss me off lol
@Doomanic Is this actually confirmed to work, though? Could I take my Bosch Performance CX (Smart System) Motor over to the US and have it re-flashed there and then bring it back to Europe? I’m not talking about brining my entire bike to the US. Just the motor.
Also what would happen with over...
@Doomanic I go to the US a lot. So you are saying that I could take my EU motor with me, go to a dealer in the US, and have him reflash my firmware with the US version?
And then once I install the motor again in my EU bike I will still have 32km/h and can use the KIOX300 and Flo Software as if...
What is an LBS? So there are actually places that can set the motor speed natively?
The chip situation seems very complicated for the smart speed system. I have spent all week looking into it and it does not look reliable yet. Maybe in the future. I just don’t wanna bet on it. I want to find a...
Hi Expidia! Thanks for your reply! I looked into the speed chips but it seems like they are extremely unreliable with the new Bosch Smart System. They also will not correctly display your speed on the display and could break with firmware updates. I'm not sure I want to spend this much money and...
I’m really interested in purchasing a Riese and Müller Charger 4 Vario. However, since I’m located in Spain the bike would be limited to 25km/h. The same model in the US is limited to 32km/h.
I know tuning chips like the Speedbox 1.0B exist but from everything I could gather online it seems to...
