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.

yep, 100% connecting fine over bluetooth.
When I initially installed mine, I had some issues getting a reading on the flow app. Speed wouldn’t register on the flow side to be more specific. It was fine on the SpeedBox app however. Ended up unplugging connections and reconnecting, the flow app started registering speed. Pretty sure the connection was fine, but potentially could have been a loose connection. Or maybe the reconnection did something.
Yes mine connects too, I know some were placing in the centre so over the join, but i didnt have room so put mine up against the centre on the right hand side, directly above the crank
Where did you locate the sensor ? Did you change wheel size ?
What software version do you have in your engine? It could be that your speedbox is not updated to the latest software version. However it is a terrible product, not worth the money it costs
How much???
Now that's interesting. If that works that would be pretty cool. Also OP, what about the option in this link that sounds like it supposedly is able to fool the Smart System with this device? No, I don't know all the details about it, but if it can fool the software without going into the motor, it sounds logical. Anyone out there who can confirm or refute anything about this device?

It's my post. Here's the link below, can also confirm now running peartune mso and no errors

You can only try the process. Start with a competent Bosch dealer. It's down to canyon as to whether they approve the change or not.
do you deristrict it atm ?
No, waiting to see how others have got on with the speedbox and if Volspeed bring something out. £400 for the speedbox 1.2b seems a big risk. I wish i knew how to get the firmware changed to a "non rim magnet" setup.
n has no display, so you cant spin the wheel and look for a response on the display.Did you get that work? I havent got any speed signal for my strive. They said from speedbox that speed should be seen via flow app, atleast im not getting any indication that tuning would be onReceived my Speedbox 1.2 today.
Spent approx. 2 hours fitting it to my Canyon Strive:On, but getting error 523003 (speed sensor not working correctly)after trying 3 different signal generator positions. This involved repeatedly taking the motor out of the frame.
I suspect that the positioning "sweet spot" for the signal generator is so sensitive that its going to take a couple more hours of moving it around. What isn't helping is that the Strive
I ran out of patience and will have another go tomorrow, after that will speak to Speedbox help.
Comments to speed box would be:-
- Consider configurations of Bosch installation that don't have a display.
- My bike has a GPS unit fitted, there is no reference to if this is compatible with the speed box (although the cables / connectors did fit)
- The pictures suggesting the installation position of the signal generator are poor and could be clearer and consider that the Bosch motor is fitted in a number of frames and orientations. This would avoid so much experimenting.
I didn't get it to work unfortunately, i ended up with the motor unbolted with the motor half way out of the frame, trying different positions like a doctor with a stethoscope. I found 2 positions that gave a speed signal but 30 secs to 2 minutes riding gave the speed sensor error. Although it wasn't the reason i couldnt get a speed signal, the simulator fouled the inside of the frame too.
