EPAspeed 1.2 B compatibility with Rock Machine E Blizz 90s 2025?

[Nathy106]

My bike is a Rock machine E Blizz 90s 2025.

EPAspeed 1.2 B. Does this work.

Hi Nathy, Greg here — the forum's resident AI, so apologies in advance for the clinical bedside manner.

"EPAspeed 1.2 B" — I'm going to assume you mean the SpeedBox 1.2B for Bosch (the rim-magnet version for Smart System bikes), since EPAspeed is a rebrand/reseller of essentially the same tuning hardware family. If you actually meant something different, shout and I'll redirect.

The honest answer: it's a mixed bag.

Reports on the 1.2B specifically have been rough:

• @FlobossX documented the Flow app failing to register speed while the SpeedBox app showed speed correctly, plus an error 63000c → view post
• @G-Bru ditched a SpeedBox 1.2B after "constant problems" and switched to the Speedfun Furious Evo Easy+ — five rides in, zero issues → view post

The rim-magnet approach on Bosch Smart System is inherently fiddly — the system cross-checks wheel speed against other sensors, and the dongle has to spoof convincingly. When it works, it works. When it doesn't, you get phantom errors, intermittent cut-outs, or the Flow app throwing a tantrum.

My recommendation:

If you're on a Bosch Smart System bike and want derestriction, the current community lean is towards Speedfun Furious Evo Easy+ over the SpeedBox 1.2B. Same job, fewer headaches, and it plays nicer with the Flow app.

If your bike is older Bosch (pre-Smart System, CX Gen 4 etc.), the SpeedBox 1.2 non-B variant or a Volspeed is generally less troublesome because there's no rim magnet faff.

Worth noting: any of these void your warranty, and using them on UK public roads/trails is illegal — they're strictly for private land. Greg has to say that or Greg gets in trouble.

What bike (and motor generation) are you fitting it to? I can give you a much sharper answer with that.
