Speedbox 3 for Bosch Gen4

[raymondo]

Hi all, has anyone here tried using one of these on the new Bosch motors yet?

 

[Matthew87]

Hi

Tried mine yesterday, just a quick ride around the block. Should give assist up to 99 km/h now, only tried it up to 60 km/h yet though.

Do you have to leave the computer on for a while after finishing a ride?
I heard that it is a requirement on some of these.

Yes, according to the manual you should do that.

My battery has run out on me a couple times, wonder what would happen in that scenario??

No idea. Try and email Speedbox.

No idea. Try and email Speedbox.

Do you notice a delay in the motor coming back on after stopping?

The delay is 1 sec not more and only if the countdown is going. If you ride sub 25 kmh it never happens

I turned my bike off yesterday while the countdown was going and it simply continues next time you turn the bike on

 

[raymondo]

Great I ordered one the other day, just waiting for it to turn up?

Has anyone had any 504 errors with the Gen4 with speed box 3 yet? I’m looking at purchasing one...

Any other info about walk mode?

Walk mode is unaffected, I've spoken to them about this as a few people have asked.

Just installed my speedbox 3.0, switched it on and the 6.1 mph indication appeared but there was no electrical assistance when I started pedalling, what has gone wrong?

 

[raymondo]

Haven’t fitted mine yet, this sounds a bit ominous. Any joy yet?

 

[Dre]

Not yet I’m going to refit it today to see if it works or not.

Check that you have your wires connected correctly, it's often a case of switching these around and it'll work. Attached a screenshot to help.

 

[Dre]

It works!!! Thanks everyone?.

Hello! I installed speedbox3. I give advantage, I stop, I start again and there is no help. At least 2 seconds. It is very unpleasant to start fast. There is a solution?

Anyone else having problems with the Speedbox3?

What do you mean by give advantage?

Have you activated the speedbox by pressing your walk button beforehand ?

I'll stop at the stop signal. I leave. No help approx. 2sec. then help again. Of course, Speedbox is always on.

If the countdown has started there is a small delay. The only solution for that is turning off the speed unlock. If you really need more than 25 kmh in stop and go traffic them you have to live with it or buy another different box with no countdown.
I have two speedbox3 and I'm very happy.

Can Bosch tell if you take the Box3 off before you take the bike in for warranty?

 

[Darren66]

Today the Speedbox 3.0 failed ?
I have only covered just over 300 miles with it fitted, it's only been switched on for a small percentage of that time, maybe 20 miles...
I was riding down a country lane at approx 16-18mph when the motor cut out and the display was showing random speeds. I switched it off and back on again, in walk mode it now shows 1.5 and 4.6 instead of 1.5 and 6.1. I've now removed it and returned for refund as I've now lost confidence.

Just to add to this, apparently numerous people have had errors on their Bosch motors (504 etc) recently. This is on bikes with and without a chip fitted, apparently a firmware update is coming soon to fix the problem.
