License and purchase
1. Can one license be used on several bikes?
No. One license is intended for one motor.
After activation, the code is assigned to a specific motor and cannot be used to unlock another bike.
If you have several bikes, a separate license is required for each one.
2. How much does the license cost?
The license code is a one-time purchase. The current price is always shown on the relevant product page at speedchipshop.shop.
*NOTE: Current prices can be found at speedchipshop.shop. Prices may change.
3. Is the license permanent?
Yes. The license is permanent.
The code remains permanently assigned to your bike. There is no monthly subscription and no need to renew the license.
4. Can I uninstall and reinstall the license several times?
Yes. You can deactivate the tuning and then reactivate it on the same bike.
The procedure is performed again through the browser using the same method of connecting to the bike.
You do not need to install or remove any physical chip. This is a software solution.
5. Where can I find the license code?
You receive the license code after purchase together with a message containing the installation instructions.
The license key is located at the bottom of the second email. Please also check your spam folder.
During activation, enter the entire code exactly as received, including the hyphens.
Speed and configuration
6. Why does the bike not reach the selected speed?
Occasionally, some configurations may reach approximately 29–31 km/h despite using the 32 km/h version. This is due to the system configuration of the particular bike.
7. Is the speed shown on the display the actual speed?
USA 32 km/h – Bosch Smart Gen 4 – YES
33–34 km/h – Bosch Smart – YES
45 km/h – Bosch Smart Gen 4 – NO
45 km/h – Bosch Smart Gen 5 – YES
45 km/h – Bosch Gen 1–4 – NO
With the 45 km/h configuration on Smart Gen 4, the Bosch Flow app may still show a maximum setting of 33–34 km/h. This does not mean that the 45 km/h configuration is inactive. Check the actual speed using GPS.
In the Bosch eBike Flow app, you can also adjust the maximum assistance speed within the available range, normally from 25 to 33–34 km/h.
With the 45 km/h configuration, the Bosch Flow app may still show a maximum setting value of 32 km/h. This does not mean that the 45 km/h configuration is inactive. It is active — check the actual speed using GPS.
BOSCH compatibility
8. Does SpeedChip SOFT work with BOSCH Generation 5?
Yes. SpeedChip SOFT is compatible with BOSCH Smart System Gen 4 and Gen 5.
Versions designed for Smart System also support the latest compatible BOSCH software versions, including systems updated to 120 Nm.
Before purchasing, always select the product designed specifically for the system installed on your bike.
9. Can BOSCH updates be performed after installing the tuning?
SpeedChip SOFT works with current BOSCH Smart System software versions.
However, we do not recommend installing new system updates.
10. Can I still use the Bosch eBike Flow app?
Yes. After activating SpeedChip SOFT, you can continue using the Bosch eBike Flow app.
With the USA 33–34 km/h version, after completing the tuning, go to the assistance speed settings in the Flow app and set the maximum available speed.
The default setting after installation may still be 25 km/h.
With the 45 km/h tuning, the Flow app may show adjustment only up to 32–34 km/h despite the active 45 km/h configuration.
11. 25 / 34 / 45 km/h – which speed should I choose?
25 km/h
Standard factory setting for a European electric bike.
33–34 km/h USA (occasionally 32 km/h on Gen 4)
This value may appear in certain system configurations. Availability depends on the specific bike and BOSCH configuration.
45 km/h
Choose this version if you want a higher motor assistance limit.
Remember that 45 km/h is the maximum assistance limit.
