Best Volspeed alternative for Bosch Performance Line (BDU3360)

[pinkfloydhomer]

I live in EU. I used to own an ebike with non-smart Active Line Plus, Volspeed worked perfectly for it. It showed correct speed, I didn't have to do anything special before or after riding, it never went into limp mode etc.

Now I have a Smart system Performance Line motor (BDU3360) with a rim/valve magnet and a Purion 200 display. Volspeed do not support this configuration.

What is the best alternatives on the market? My main concern is to avoid limp mode, in general having something that is reliable. It would be nice to have correct speed displayed, but not too important. Is there even a solution on the market that supports this configuration and that does not go into limp mode?

Volspeed was limited to 45 km/h which was more than enough. Below 40 km/h would be annoying.

Suggestions? Prefeably available from en EU seller.

Several are available for Gen5 Smart System Performance Line DU's that use a rim magnet, but they are all for Performance Line CX derivatives. You may have an albatross.

Important: Not compatible with e-bikes that have a magnet on the valve (rim magnet). These sensors are installed deep within the motor and cannot be optimized with modules.

Stomp, I know these devices. These are chips installed either near to the controller or to the motor inline with the speed sensor and the controller as well as the motor I know a thing or two about them. You guys do not need them at all with Class 1 or 3. Many Europeans cannot stand the 25 km/h restriction. (None of those chips relies on the magnet).

Pros: Transparent to the system. Do not affect the odometer or speedometer. Can be disabled on demand.
Cons: Tricky installation.

Volspeed setup on a Giant e-MTB.

The OP says Volspeed would not work on a Smart System e-bike. I'm sure a proper Pear Tune chip would. I'm also sure the setup would be very difficult.

Stefan, you missed the point I made above. He has a Smart System bike with a RIM MAGNET.

I can't believe no one makes a chip that works with this motor?

Which motor would be the best for my next ebike, in terms of reliably removing the 25 km/h limit?

Check the chip vendors.

Well, one thing is what they claim, another thing is actual user experiences.

None of them would work?

Stefan, do you know any of them to work with this configuration?

Unfortunately not. I know that the online store is open to questions and willing to give a good advice.
