Note about this printed manual
Congratulations on the purchase of your bikespeed-R . You are holding
the original manual for the bikespeed-R and bikespeed-R c for Bosch
mid-mounted motors in your hands.
Printed manuals may not be up to date for technical, logistical, and
economic reasons. This applies, for example, to the listed compatible
motors, displays and model years. You can find a current version of the
manual for download on our homepage (https://www.bikespeed.de) If
you are unsure, please feel free to contact us.
Product description
The bikespeed-R is a simple and compact kit to bypass the speed limit of
25 km/h of pitzing M1 bikes with TQ HPR 120 drives. The installation is
completely invisible.
The bikespeed-R is also available in a customizable version, called
bikespeed-R c (custom). You can find more information about this on
page 13 of this manual. For the sake of simplicity and a better overview,
the bikespeed-R c is the same as the bikespeed-R except for the
personalization and therefore only the term bikespeed-R is used in these
instructions.
In contrast to other commercial tuning kits for pedelecs the bikespeed-R
displays the "real" speed on the tachometer instead of the half value. The
data of the cycled distance, average/maximum speed, calculated range, ...
are usable without any limitations. The levels of support as well as any
special profile will be certainly maintained. Light activation is also

page 3
unnecessary, and you can use the tuning if you have an additional lighting
system powered by the battery.
The tuning makes the final speed void, that means the terminal velocity is
only limited by the power of the drive and the muscular strength
invested.
We designed the installation as simple as we could. All the necessary
connections are pluggable and consequently they can be removed
without any traces.
Deactivation of the speed limit at 25 km/h is possible with the help of a
key sequence on the actuator (see page 9, paragraph “description of
functions”).
The tuning will adapt to your pedelec when it is activated. During this
process the drive, the display and the size of the tires will be recognized
automatically. The tuning is thus universally applicable, and you do not
have to adjust anything.

Safety instructions, product liability and
e clusion of liability
By using the bikespeed-R on your pedelec, a relevant safety feature (the
speed-dependent limitation of the motor power) is overridden. You must
assume that your pedelec is not suitable for this and e.g., frame, brakes,
chassis, tires, etc. are not designed for the higher speed. The conversion
must be carried out by a specialist (e.g., the manufacturer of the pedelec
or an authorized specialist workshop) who will also check other
components on your pedelec accordingly and convert them if necessary.
Tuning an ordinary pedelec with a maximum speed of 25 km/h is not
recommended for the ordinary user, as -pedelecs are intended for
reaching higher speeds with the corresponding legal requirements, in
particular the approval of the Federal Motor Transport Authority of your
country (in Germany KBA/Kraftfahrtbundesamt).
We have not been able to conclusively clarify whether operation with the
bikespeed-R installed but deactivated is permitted on public roads.
Therefore, we expressly point out that the mere presence of the tuning
can constitute an offence in the sense of the Road traffic regulations or
riding without insurance, §6 Compulsory Insurance Act!

page 6
A modified bicycle may only be used by an authorized, trained and
instructed person. We assume the following level of training:
Function
User
Operator
Only persons trained and instructed about
the special dangers
Maintenance personnel
/ technicians
Only the manufacturer of the pedelec or an
authorized specialist workshop by persons
with the appropriate expertise
Trainees or apprentices
the use is prohibited
General public
the use is prohibited
Trained users should be made aware of the increased risk when using the
modified pedelec:
Increased risk of impact: Due to the increased speed, obstacles are
reached more quickly, and reaction time may not be sufficient to brake or
swerve in time.
Increased braking distance: The increased speed also increases the
braking distance. Furthermore, it must be checked before use whether
the installed brake system is designed for the increased speed.
Increased risk of discomfort / neurological disorders: Due to the
increased speed, vibrations can increase, which can lead to discomfort.
Furthermore, due to the increased speed, more concentration is required
from the user. This can lead to increased stress during use. Therefore,
only persons who do not have any physical, mental, or neurological
disorders may be users.
Possible loss of control: The increased speed can make it easier to lose
control of the pedelec. The user must therefore be of age and equipped

page 7
with suitable protective clothing (helmet, protectors, etc.) to be
adequately protected from injury in the event of a fall.
Modified bicycles may only be used on fenced private property.
Furthermore, it must be ensured before use that there is sufficient space
to obstacles on the route. (e.g., stones, trees, water areas, etc.).
No other persons are allowed on the fenced off area during use and
precautions must be taken to ensure that no other person can enter the
area during use.
The converted pedelec must be equipped with a warning notice that is
clearly visible before the pedelec is used. The warning notice must
prohibit the use by untrained persons and outside the fenced private
area.
Operation on public roads is expressly prohibited by the Road traffic
regulations!
The bikespeed-R is installed and operated at your own responsibility;
any liability for damage or consequential damage, as well as legal
consequences for bikespeed or the manufacturer of the pedelec are
excluded in any case.
Before using the system, please enquire about the legal consequences
that may arise for you because of the installation.
We expressly point out that the use of bikespeed R will result in the loss
of the manufacturer's warranty. Furthermore, the manufacturer and
bikespeed have no product liability for your pedelec.

page 8
Bikespeed or the manufacturer of your pedelec cannot guarantee that
brakes, frame, chassis, tires, etc. are designed for the use of the tuning
part.
Before use, the more highly stressed components of the pedelec (e.g.,
frame, brakes, tires, bearings, and suspension, etc.) must be tuned by the
manufacturer or tested and approved by a suitable testing Centre (e.g.,
TÜV or Dekra). If the speed is doubled, it must be considered that the
acting forces are quadrupled. In accordance with EN 15194, it must
therefore be checked that the modified pedelec still meets the
requirements. It is to be assumed that the higher stress is permanently
given.
If a component of the pedelec cannot withstand the higher stress, it must
be upgraded by the manufacturer of the pedelec or by an authorized
specialist workshop, or the bikespeed-R must not be installed.

Description of functions
The bikespeed-R removes the limit at 25 km/h of your pedelec. All other
features and functions of your bike remain as usual. This also includes the
protective measures installed by the manufacturer (e.g., short circuit,
overcurrent, power, torque, temperature, etc.), except for the safety
device for limiting the maximum speed.
After activating your pedelec the display will show an animation that
informs you about the status. f the speedometer rises from 1,1 km/h to
9,0 km/h within approx. 3 seconds, the tuning is switched on and your
pedelec supports you with motor power even if you exceed 25 km/h. If
the speed drops from 9,0 km/h to 1,0 km/h, the bikespeed-R is switched
off. The motor support will end at 25 km/h.
To switch on or off the support above 25 km/h please change the level of
support down, up, down, and up again. If the procedure was successful,
you will then see the animation just described and inform you about the
status.
Here is an example beginning in support level 3:
Pushbutton down (new level: 2)
Pushbutton up (new level: 3)
Pushbutton down (new level: 2)
Pushbutton up (new level: 3)
Please enter the combination quickly without a pause of 3 seconds
between two keys. Repeat the procedure, if necessary, to obtain the
desired setting.

page 10
If you have a bikespeed-R c you use the combination you chose
beforehand. (see page 13, paragraph Description of the custom-variant“)
Furthermore, please note that you must switch the stages to enter the
combination. For example, you cannot enter a combination that starts
with the "down" key from the "off" level (or a combination that starts
with the "up" key from the highest level). If the combination consists of
several keys in one direction, you must therefore start the input at a
sufficiently low or sufficiently high level.
Hint: A switched off bikespeed-R cannot be switched on with the
combination for service-mode (see on page 11)!
Hint for the odometer
Please note that after the deinstallation of the bikespeed-R your
odometer may show a lower value under certain circumstances like you
are traveled with your bike. This behavior is caused by the design and not
a fault.
Please note this primarily when selling your bike.

page 11
Important hint when visiting the repair-shop or
software-updates on your pedelec
If you have in mind to update your pedelec software or wish to perform
the TQ- or pitzing-system with a customer service, please have a look on
bikespeed and check on our website www.bikespeed.de, whether the
tuning continues to work with a later software or not.
For a software-update to your TQ- or pitzing-system you have to
uninstall the bikespeed-R . Alternatively, there is the service mode on the
bikespeed-R that needs to be activated at your retailer.
Therefore, change the level of support 3x down and then 3x up. Please
enter the combination continuous without a pause longer than 3 seconds
between two keys. Begin on the highest level. If successful, the
speedometer display changes 3 times between the software version of
the bikespeed-R and 0 km/h. Now the tuning is in service mode and
maintenance as well as software updating can be executed.
If you have a bikespeed-R c you use the combination you chose
beforehand. (see page 13, paragraph Description of the custom-variant“)
This state is maintained even after deactivating the system. That is why
there will not be an animation of the battery’s capacity informing about
the state of the tuning.

page 12
For the deactivation of the service-mode please use the same key-
combination as for the activation or the combination you chose for
activating and deactivating the tuning. Please keep in mind that in
service-mode the support of the drive ends at 25 km/h.
Hints:
-If you are not sure, whether the service-mode is activated,
please uninstall the bikespeed-R before you update!
-Please activate the service-mode only for updates on your
pedelec!
-A switched off bikespeed-R cannot be switched on with the
combination for service-mode!
After activating the service mode, we recommend switching off the bike
without moving it again. If a speed is displayed it could change the trip,
avg- or max-speed.

Description of the custom-variant (bikespeed-
RSc)
After many requests of our customers, we offer a new feature of the
bikespeed-R additionally. The individual customer configuration gives
you the opportunity with you selectable personal setting to protect your
tuning for discovering.
With your individual key combination, you can decide if the tuning should
be displayed its status with an animation above the battery indicator or
not. The tuning can be switched on/off at any time, and you can control
the behavior (tuning on/off) after on switching your bike.
The configuration options can be found in the shop on our website. There
all possibilities are described with many tips and videos.
If you are interested to upgrade your standard bikespeed R on a custom
version, you can feel free to contact us.

Keep in mind you have to switch the
stages to enter the combination.
- Please start in a sufficient high or low
stage.
- Please enter the combination continuous
with a pause from one to three seconds
between two keystrokes.
In our experience, the cause for problems most often are connectors
which are not correctly plugged in. Therefore, please always check if they
are set correctly and plugged in the correct socket. Please insert the
connectors as far as you cannot see the seals anymore. If that is not
possible, please apply some Vaseline onto the seals for greasing. The
plugs are coded and only fit in one direction. Please do not use force!

Notes on installation, removal, storage,
maintenance, and use
Installation, repair, commissioning, and decommissioning may only be
carried out by the manufacturer of the pedelec or an authorized specialist
workshop.
During installation, ensure that the ergonomic principle and functionality
of the pedelec are not changed or impaired.
The protection class of the bikespeed-R is IP64. The bikespeed-R does
not require a separate power source. It is supplied with energy from the
battery of the pedelec in which the tuning is installed. This battery is
charged via the power supply unit provided by the manufacturer of the
pedelec.
No maintenance or service is required on the bikespeed-R . After
decommissioning, no special precautions need to be taken to put the
product back into operation.
If the product is stored in a dismantled state, this must be done in a dry
place between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius and 30 to 70 % relative humidity.
Use in the installed state may only be carried out by specially trained and
adult users without physical and physical limitations.
The use is not limited in time but may only take place as long as the
physical and mental condition of the user allows to operate the pedelec
under full concentration.

E ample installation on a Spitzing M1 Evolution
(2020)
ince we cannot provide detailed installation instructions for every bike
available on the market with this motor and display, we have decided to
use this installation example. This example will give you an overview of
the work to be done and you can transfer it to your bike. If you still have
questions, please feel free to contact us at any time.
The bikespeed-R is connected at the top of the cable outlet to the
display and stowed away in the frame. A further cable must be routed
through the frame down to the motor. Please follow the instructions on
the following pages.
Required tools: - Allen key size 2
- knife
The installation may only be carried out by an e pert!
Remove the battery before installation!
All statements without guarantee!

page 18
1.
Remove the rubber grommet at the handlebars
through which
the cable to the display is routed and pull the connector to the
display out of the frame. Disconnect the connector and link the
two black plugs of the bikespeed-R to both connectors.
Important:
If you have installed a igma Remote 500 together
with a igma View 1200 display on your bike, the display and the
remote are connected to the motor via a Y-cable. The bikespeed-
R must then be connected between the motor and this Y-cable,
not between the display and the remote!

page 19
2.
Open the cover above the motor with an Allen key size 2.
3.
Thread the approx. 1m long cable of the bikespeed
-
R with the
two white 3-pole connectors through the frame. When routing
the cable, please use existing cables in the battery compartment
as a guide. (see photo below) Lead the cable further through the
opening which will be opened in the last step.

page 20
4.
Locate the connector for the speed sensor. You can simply follow
the cable that runs from the motor housing to the sensor. The
connector is probably insulated with heat shrink tubing.
5.
Carefully remove the heat shrink tube with a knife. It is best to
cut only where you can see the plug under the heat shrink tubing
and take care not to damage any cables.
