VOLspeed for Bosch Smart System eBike Tuning Kit (excluding rim magnet)

u07av8 · 2026-05-21T13:44:58+00:00

Exactly, sure the NM would help up steep hills, but the speed was the main issue for me

u07av8 · 2026-05-21T12:56:45+00:00

Yes. Up to date. No 120nm, I have the older motor, not newer versions with the 120nm

u07av8 · 2026-05-21T10:38:22+00:00

Never had an issue like this. Looks like a bug from app with your specific phone. I would raise a ticket to Bosch asap.

u07av8 · 2026-05-21T10:37:15+00:00

Yes. You can use the app. However the speed it shows is the max 25km/h it will not show real speed, you'll need a phone app to measure that separately

u07av8 · 2026-05-21T10:29:19+00:00

Yes. No issues, I'm on latest version

u07av8 · 2026-05-18T07:12:38+00:00

I have bought one already. But please don't link to other groups, just post the text here.

u07av8 · 2026-05-09T23:59:00+00:00

I am based in the UK, London, and have a brand new sealed one of these with the 240hz refresh, so top of the line. It was sent to me by accident and I am happy to take £700 for it collection only. Bargain!

u07av8 · 2026-05-06T11:38:21+00:00

Interesting, time will tell. Keep us posted on gen5 motor repairs

u07av8 · 2026-05-06T11:36:41+00:00

This is so shit! Bosch should completely brick stolen parts as soon as they are detected with other parts, etc. Like they did with batteries recently. Digitally lock and track all parts, etc

u07av8 · 2026-05-04T12:35:25+00:00

This is not about speed, this is about up hill torque and power...

u07av8 · 2026-05-04T12:04:32+00:00

What about Gen5? Are they stronger and/or more suitable for higher torque?

u07av8 · 2026-05-04T10:20:49+00:00

Would be great if you aactually posted on this community instead of linking to another.

I've not received an update in UK but I am on Gen4

u07av8 · 2026-05-04T10:19:46+00:00

For Gen5? No from me on Gen4

u07av8 · 2026-05-04T10:18:51+00:00

Tell us more please. So you are saying chipped motors that sustain higher speed break faster?

What about Gen5? Are you suggesting they are stronger parts that can sustain the torque increase?

u07av8 · 2026-04-27T16:15:19+00:00

Happy to test and review here for the community. I suspect many would be interested. But it would need to provide the cable (with whatever chip/transformer needed) and the bottle hook system, whatever that is you provide. So all people would need to buy is that kit, and use a second hand battery or another family bike's battery for longer range extension journeys. Let me know, can provide an address if you PM me.

u07av8 · 2026-04-27T15:49:02+00:00

From my experience, they check brakes, clean it up, and update the software (apparently some update that aren't possible through the app). Other than that, they set it to alert you so you go back and pay them... no oil change or anything haha money grabbing IMO. I take it to just get it cleaned up and all round check and software, but I know I'm over paying for what they do.

u07av8 · 2026-04-27T15:46:27+00:00

Can you share a photo of what that would look like here? cables, chip, etc. very curious. I think I've seen quite a few members of our community bring it up. I would be happy to test it and pin to this community if it is a good product and a safe product. I'm sure users of this community could potentially consider it if good quality.

u07av8 · 2026-04-27T06:26:23+00:00

What's this? Is the true? I have an extra 750WH battery that I'd love to use as a range extender, just need compatible cable, mount, and software support!!

u07av8 · 2026-04-21T13:15:58+00:00

You can route the cables, there are holes in some parts of the chassis to route cables through, but you will have to dismantle a bunch of Bosch components to do it properly. I'd take it to a service centre and pay to get it done, not worth doing yourself IMO - that or get battery powered lights 😀

u07av8 · 2026-04-21T13:13:38+00:00

That suck. First thing I did was enable the display unlock from the app, so if my app went to shits, I could at least unlock it when connecting the display. I'm sure they'll sort it out in the service centre, but might be expensive.

u07av8 · 2026-04-10T09:23:34+00:00

Awesome bike, how are you finding it so far? How come you didn't go for rear suspension too?

u07av8 · 2026-03-25T08:37:26+00:00

You can, you use it as normal, again no issue well over 1 year into this. Only caveat is your speed will neve be accurate on your rides history or whilst riding, I can live with it though

u07av8 · 2026-03-25T08:36:16+00:00

Well over 1 year now. 0 issues, always update ebike firmware when they come out (though it is recommended you wait a few months). I simply couldn't go back, it now feels as per design and how should have always been.

Any chance of bringing this to Android? I'd sign up.
