Badass box is the easiest. Doubles the assist speed. It'll be illegal on public roads and lands and you'll probably be voiding the warranty on the motor. But it's neat and easily removed if need be.

I second eMax or miniMax software. Cost is a little high, but if you have a mate with a SM-PCE01 then about the same as any hardware type derestrictor. No messing with wires, speed and distances are not affected either when going the software route.

The only reason I would use a software flash like ePlus or eMax it would be for de-tuning the ECO mode..these 2 software flashing programs surely void your bike warranty on the spot!!!
On the other hand, the badasBox do not interfere with the software as its main function is to halve the speed sensor signal..

Eplus will void your warranty. eMax can easily be returned to factory settings with no warranty issues. Why use inferior and crude technology when there is a software solution available that makes everything work 100%?

I may get one and try it..my question is that when you upgrade to a new bike do you have to buy another software or you can just transfer it to the new bike..

This is a fairly common fix and certainly works on Yamaha and Bosch but I thought I had read somewhere that Shimano had now installed software on their latest motors to prevent it.

Might give it a go.

I have the latest firmware on my bike and it worked fine. I think it's definitely worth a try, just to see if you even like or notice it being derestricted.

Eplus will void your warranty. eMax can easily be returned to factory settings with no warranty issues.

ePlus - are you talking about speedplus? Speedplus is reversible without trace like eMax. No difference, you wont loose your warranty with either software.

Speedplus does already support 4.7.1 with real measurements and custom speedsettings. You can even up the torque to 90nm.

Its not cheap tho... full race package with mobile app 199euros.

STEPS unlocker is just $35 USD, same features as eMax Mobile but about 1/3 the licensing price. No PC and no PC link needed.
