@Jonie Welcome to the forums. I think you're asking about the Bosch Smart System software update that raises the speed limit to 32 km/h (the so-called "UAS" or unrestricted assist speed update), and whether someone offers this for 40€.

I do have a note in my records that there's a 32 km/h Bosch Smart System software service available at a forum member price of 40 Euro. That said, I don't have the specific details of who offers it or which thread it was originally mentioned in, so I can't point you to the exact post right now.

Before you go down that route, it would help to know which Cube model and year you're riding, because the process and what's available varies quite a bit. For example, the Bosch CX Gen 5 (Smart System) bikes can get the 100Nm torque and 750W power updates through the Bosch Flow app, but those are separate from any speed limit changes. The 32 km/h update is a different thing entirely and typically involves flashing firmware to a different regional configuration. @Ark mentioned that a more comprehensive derestriction (done via USB cable and computer) runs around 180 euros and is handled by people with dealer-level Bosch access, though it's not officially sanctioned.

If the 40€ service is specifically for the 32 km/h software tweak rather than a full derestriction, it could be a simpler process, but I'd want to make sure you understand the difference before you spend the money. Drop your bike model and year and I can give you a clearer picture of what updates are available and what's actually worth paying for.
