• Warning!!

    Riding a tuned or deristricted EMTB is not a trivial offence and can have serious legal consequences. Also, many manufacturers can detect the use of a tuning device or deristricting method and may decline a repair under warranty if it was modified from the intended original specification. Deristricting EMTB's can also add increased loads for motors and batteries. Riding above the local law limit may reclassify the bike as a low-powered bike, requiring insurance, registration and a number plate.

    Be aware of your local country laws. Many laws prohibit use of modified EMTB's. It is your responsibility to check local laws. Ignoring it, has potential implications to trail access, and risk of prosecution in the event of an accident.

Has anyone here heard of the “new” 45 km/h software tuning for Bosch motors?

Through several Facebook groups, I came across someone named Adam Grabkowski who claims to offer this service. At first glance, it looks a bit suspicious, but I’ve also seen quite a few positive reviews in those same Facebook groups.
What are your experiences with this? Has anyone already tried the new 45 km/h (speed-pedelec?) firmware on a regular Bosch Performance Line CX Gen 5 motor?

He says that the display still shows the real speed after the firmware change. I’m especially curious whether LIMP mode can still occur, and whether there are any long-term issues or error codes after using this firmware.

I guess this is probably region change to new zealand since they were allowed to go to 45 km/h there.
If that is the case i assume this is nothing different than changing region to USA.
But i might be mistaken.

Awesome! Can't wait to receive my Cube Kathmandu Hybrid Comfort PRO 800 2026 and let the bike doctor flash my bike with the NZ firmware.
