Frequently Asked Questions

We receive many inquiries daily. We endeavor to respond to them as quickly as possible, typically on the same day.

Before contacting us, you are welcome to check here to see if your question is among the most frequently asked, allowing you to receive an answer directly:

Is there a bikespeed for my E-bike?

Due to the boom in the e-bike industry, a large number of pedelecs have been introduced worldwide in recent years, with new ones constantly being released. We do not categorize our tunings based on bicycles but rather on the installed motor and display.

If you would like to know if we offer a tuning for your bike, feel free to visit our shop. It will inquire about the components installed on your pedelec and guide you quickly and easily to the appropriate tuning for your bike.

Through this guided ordering process it is not necessary to specify a tuning for your bike or provide a link.

The app for my bike is showing an update available / My dealer wants to install an update on my e-bike / Is my bikespeed tuning compatible with the announced update xxx?

You are welcome to check our website before installing an update on your bike to see whether the planned update has been tested by us and is listed as compatible with your tuning.

If you would like to install a newer version on your e-bike that is not yet listed as compatible with your current tuning, but is already supported by newer versions of our tuning, feel free to contact us – an update of your tuning might be possible.

Please note that we cannot guarantee compatibility with future updates, as we do not know in advance what changes will be made. However, we will test new updates as soon as possible and publish the results on our website.

Can I turn off the standard variant bikespeed-RS?
What is the difference compared to the bikespeed-RSc?
What can I configure with the bikespeed-RSc?

bikespeed-RS and bikespeed-RSc offer the same core functionality. Both versions can be activated and deactivated in the same way.
The difference between bikespeed-RS and bikespeed-RS custom lies in the available configuration options. An overview of the differences can be found on our comparison page.

I have a specific E-Bike model. Is there an installation manual or installation video available?

Due to the massive variety of available pedelecs, we cannot provide a detailed installation manual or installation video for each one. Therefore, we have opted for an illustrated installation example that explains all necessary steps in detail. So far, all of our customers have successfully completed the installation using this guide.

How fast can I ride with the tuning?
Can I choose the maximum speed myself?

We offer two tuning variants: the standard variant bikespeed-RS and the customizable variant bikespeed-RS custom. Both variants completely remove the speed limit of your pedelec at 25 km/h. With the customizable variant bikespeed-RSc, you can optionally order it limited to 45 km/h. This is useful in some countries, for example, if you want to insure the bike. In our opinion, any other limit doesn't make sense. If you don't want to ride faster, you can simply stop pedaling.

How fast you can ride with your tuning depends solely on the motor's power combined with your pedaling effort. Typically, the gearing is the next limiting factor because you can't pedal fast enough anymore. To go even faster, you would need another gear or two or a larger chainring. If necessary, please consult your bike dealer.

I want more power / more torque
I want to make my S-pedelec faster

Our tuning systems have been developed for Pedelecs with an assistance limit of 25 km/h. S-Pedelecs and R-Pedelecs are not supported.
