18 juni 2019, 11:00 (CEST) Nieuwe software van Bosch eBike Systems ter bescherming tegen tuning Getunede e-bikes brengen risico's met zich mee - Anti-tuningsoftware voor e-bike-aandrijvingssystemen van Bosch. Tuning Speedchip V3.0 for Bosch E Bikes. This is a classic tuning tool in its latest and so far best version - now also compatible with the most recent Bosch software (Gen4 / year 2020). If you own an E Bike with Bosch mid-mounted-engine and you want to finally use the full power of the drive system, the Speedchip V 3.0 is the right choice. Bosch has released no update to the software of any of the components of the bike since my purchase. My understanding is that they introduced the detection algorithms for the 2019 models with the intention of the system taking action to stop the use of tuning in the updates for 2020. Motors, batteries and displays. The motor or 'Drive Unit' is the heart of the eBike which is why we exclusively offer mid-motors. So in every single Bosch system the power comes from the centre of the eBike. Whether it's a cargo bike for everyday use or a mountain bike designed for use on technical terrain, sophisticated sensor management means the power of the Bosch drive system can always. Jun 29, 2019 Bosch say: The software will be installed in all Bosch e-bike drive systems from model year 2020 onwards; Specialist dealers can use the Bosch Diagnostic Tool to detect manipulation of the e-bike, even if the tuning kit was previously removed. The dealer can see whether the e-bike.
Last year, Bosch updated the Performance Line CX and set off an avalanche of new eMTBs designed around the powerful and compact motor. Phoneitipad 5.1.1 cracked source load. One year later, the German tech giant has released a software update which brings a whole bunch of new features, including a newly tuned eMTB mode and an extra 10 Nm of torque. With a low system weight, 85 Nm of torque and a battery capacity of up to 1,250 Wh, the revamped version of Bosch’s classic eBike drive provides some exciting data – at least on paper. But is the hype around the fourth-generation Performance Line CX justified?

One year after launching the revamped version of their Performance Line CX motor, Bosch release a new software update – find all details in our “old” VS “new” article. Not only does the update increase the torque to a total of 85 Nm, but also improves the overall handling of the bike. With up to 340 % maximum support, even on steep climbs it keeps up with the more powerful Brose Drive S Mag without breaking a sweat. However, the key highlight of the 2,79 kg motor is not its power but the eMTB mode, which is tuned even finer after the latest update. The progressive mode modulates dynamically between the Tour (140 %) and Turbo (340 %) modes and adjusts the support according to the riding scenario and the amount of pedal pressure applied. The new mode is incredibly accurate, smooth and easy to control and always delivers enough power. As a result of the increased torque, however, light riders might find that the factory setting delivers the power too abruptly when riding flat trails. Here, it would be great to be able to individualise the setting using the app, an option that other systems from Brose and Shimano offer. Thanks to Extended Boost, the eMTB mode detects and anticipates steps, big obstacles and other hurdles on technical trails and supports the rider with a particularly long hysteresis. In other words, no other motor in the test field feels as effortless and controlled on technical uphills as the Bosch Performance Line CX 2020! The transition at the 25 km/h threshold is smooth and silky. But what about the notorious pedal resistance though? Well, there isn’t any! However, the new Bosch does have a bit of a noise problem – not the typical noise of the motor humming under full load, but the coarse-toothed freewheel-clutch that produces a clunky metallic sound when it engages, sounding almost like a clattering chain on rough downhills or when the rear-end compresses.
In typical Bosch fashion, the Performance CX comes as a closed system and requires bike manufacturers to use Bosch’s in-house remotes, displays, motor software, batteries and standard motor tuning. The DualBattery system combines an internal PowerTube and external PowerPack battery and allows for a battery capacity of up to 1,125 Wh – with two PowerTube batteries even 1,250 Wh! Despite five potential display options, the Purion and Kiox are the only reasonable options for sporty eMTBing. However, the latter is hard to read on the trail and the standard mount on the stem is not ideal for sporty eMTBers either. With an additional software update for the display, the Kiox will be able to display the navigation-commands from your smartphone (available from summer 2020). The minimalist Purion display has an integrated remote, is easy to use and provides the most important riding info. That being said, compared to more compact solutions like from Shimano for example, it looks outdated and clunky. Individual tuning of the support levels is possible neither end users via app nor for dealers or bike manufacturers. You only have the option to adjust the eMTB mode to the crank length.
As far as weight and size go, the new Performance CX is top notch. Light and compact, Bosch’s new eMTB motor hits the nail on the head. While the new shape gives bike manufacturers lots of freedom for new rear-end designs, its distinctive bend in the front creates new challenges in terms of optical integration, at least on designs without a cover. Unfortunately, the new Bosch motor still features the same flimsy spoke magnet which, like the charging port, has pushed some manufacturers into finding their own, more reliable solution.
Our conclusion
In terms of performance, the Bosch Performance Line CX 2020 plays in the top league of eMTB drives! The latest software update makes the already superb eMTB mode even better and consolidates its status as the best progressive mode available on the market. Due to the increased torque, it would be great to have the option of customising the support levels – very light riders would be grateful for this. Remotes, displays and sensors are usually difficult to integrate into the bike and cast a cloud over the positive impression just as much as the distinctive rattling noise.
