Compatibility
Important note regarding the BDU logic at Bosch Smart System:
To select the appropriate solution, simply specifying "CX" is sufficient.Performance Line"Or"Smart System“Often not. The decisive factor is frequently the exact…” BDU identifier is Drive UnitThis internal Bosch designation helps to precisely classify engine families and technical variants.
In practice, abbreviated designations such as BDU31 , BDU33 , BDU37 , or BDU38 are frequently used. These abbreviations usually represent entire BDU families. Therefore, several specific sub-variants can be found behind a single abbreviation like BDU37 . If you don't know your exact identifier, you should ideally check it in the eBike Flow app .
typical Bosch Smart System BDU families:
- BDU31
- BDU33
- BDU37
- BDU38
Known smart systems Drive Units / BDU assignments:
- Performance Line SX – BDU314Y
- Active Line – BDU332Y
- Active Line Plus – BDU334Y
- Performance Line – BDU336Y / BDU346Y
- Performance Line PX – BDU347Y
- Performance Line CX – BDU374Y / BDU384Y
- Role Line – BDU374Y / BDU384Y
- Performance Line CX Race Limited Edition – BDU376Y
- Performance Line CX-R – BDU386Y
Important for practical purposes:
Abbreviated information such as BDU37 or BDU31 are often still not accurate enough, in order to classify each configuration in detail. Therefore, the decisive factor is always the specific BDU variant in conjunction with the respective system architecture, for example Wheel magnet, ABS, e-Shift or other smart system features.

Tools
Installing an e-bike tuning chip in your e-bike may require special tools . Please check beforehand whether you need to open the motor compartment to access the motor's connectors. This applies particularly to products in the categories of modules , kits , dongles , and sensors.
Normally (but not always), opening the motor compartment requires loosening the crankset. For this, you'll need a crank puller . Some motors also require a spider tool to open the lockring on the chainring – the chainring needs to be loosened to remove the motor cover and access the motor's interior. If you want to replace the chainring (due to wear or to change the gear ratio), you'll often need a spider tool as well . You can find the necessary special tool in our shop. Finally, removing the motor cover usually requires a Torx or Allen wrench. For installing the modules, appropriate pliers from the electronics sector are suitable.
If you don't opt for a tuning solution that requires installation in the engine compartment ( such as a tuning box or software ), you won't need the necessary tools. You'll find further tips in our guide .

warnings
Important information on tuning measures for e-bikes and e-scooters
We expressly point out that any modification to e-bikes and e-scooters – whether through hardware tuning (e.g. tuning chips, dongles, sensor adapters) or software tuning (e.g. apps, programs or USB tools) – can have consequences.
Tuning measures on e-bikes and e-scooters mean that they are no longer permitted for use on public roads as defined by the StVZO (Road Traffic Licensing Regulations). Legal use is therefore only possible on private property or - if permitted - in competitions. Riding an e-bike or e-scooter modified by tuning measures on public roads can lead to criminal liability for driving without a license (Section 21 of the Road Traffic Act) and driving without insurance (Section 6 of the PflVG). Tuning measures on e-bikes can lead to the loss of warranty rights and manufacturer guarantees. Furthermore, tuning measures can lead to the loss of insurance coverage and benefits from accident victim assistance in the event of an accident. The e-bike (or e-scooter) modified by tuning measures is subject to additional stress due to the higher speed, which can lead to safety risks.
