• Warning!!

    Riding a tuned or deristricted EMTB is not a trivial offence and can have serious legal consequences. Also, many manufacturers can detect the use of a tuning device or deristricting method and may decline a repair under warranty if it was modified from the intended original specification. Deristricting EMTB's can also add increased loads for motors and batteries. Riding above the local law limit may reclassify the bike as a low-powered bike, requiring insurance, registration and a number plate.

    Be aware of your local country laws. Many laws prohibit use of modified EMTB's. It is your responsibility to check local laws. Ignoring it, has potential implications to trail access, and risk of prosecution in the event of an accident.

Converting Bosch smart system away from from rim magnet configuration

I've read of some riders getting Bosch dealers to reconfigure motors from rim magnet sensing to chain stay (spoke magnet / disc magnet) sensing.

Has anyone done this?

Any advice on finding / convincing a dealer to let me do this on my Canyon?

The shop where I purchased my bike does it all the time. By going to the remote sensor, they're able to derestrict the bikes.

That would be the only reason I'd consider goin to an external sensor. Granted, the rim magnet is a bit ugly, but the internal sensor is inherently more reliable than an external pickup with long wires.
