The SpeedBox 1.3 B.TUNING for the SHIMANO EP8 drive is an almost completely redesigned tuning chip with a new design, hardware, firmware and thanks to Bluetooth, the e-bike is coupled with a mobile application.
After installing the SpeedBox 1.3 B.TUNING tuning module, correct values up to 23 km/h are shown on the e-bike display. At higher speeds, the real values are displayed in the app. As soon as the e-bike is connected to the app, the real riding data is visible and the maximum top speed can also be set via the app. The SpeedBox 1.3 B.TUNING Chip guarantees riding fun and optimised performance. With unlimited speed! The tuning module is only suitable for e-bikes without Di2 (electronic gear shift).
- Unlimited speed
- Compatible with the SpeedBox app
- Correct values up to 23 km/h
Starting with SpeedBox 1.3 B.TUNING
If the lights on the e-bike are not switched on, the SpeedBox 1.3 B.TUNING for Shimano is always active. You can ride at unlimited speed. As soon as the LIGHT button is pressed, the SpeedBox 1.3 B.TUNING deactivates. The double-click function can be activated in the app. After that, the tuning chip is no longer dependent on the light. If LIGHT is double-clicked, the lights flash briefly and the tuning is activated. The chip can also be deactivated again and the e-bike will ride normally.
