E Bike Tuning BluePed User manual
BLUEPED
TUNING CHIP FOR YAMAHA EBIKES
MANUAL / VERSION 1 / JULY 2016
The use of the BLUEPED module is only allowed in private, gated areas, for example for sports or
marketing purposes. It manipulates the maximum speed settings of your Pedelec or S-Pedelec, set
by the manufacturer, which is prohibited by the road/streets’ laws. The BLUEPED module manip-
ulates the speed sensor signal and therefore the total distance display your E-Bike. The use of the
BLUEPED module falls under own risk. No liability is assumed for any present and future damage
caused to property and / or persons by the installation / removal and / or use. The guarantee of the
E-Bike is completely extinguished by the use or application of the BLUEPED, because the installa-
tion or use represents a modication or manipulation of the E-Bikes (Pedelec or S-pedelec). If your
E-Bike has an operating license, it will extinguish. Always drive carefully, use protective clothing
such as helmets or protectors and do not bring yourself and others in danger. Talk beforehand with
your insurance company, so that all areas of your actions are protected. Please note further that
other statutory provisions apply in other countries. This is especially true when you are driving with
the E-Bike in your holidays. Please inform yourself beforehand about possible restricitons and keep
principles in mind.

CONTENT
The BLUEPED module is interposed between display/speedsensor and the motor. It measures the
actual speed (1) and generates a fake speed signal (2) for the motor controller. After launching the
E-Bike the BLUEPED module, it cuts the communication between motor and E-Bike display (5) to
send its own data to the display (4).
The manufacturers motor support limitation at 20 km/h or 45 km/h is removed by generating a
lower fake speed (2). Therefore the distance, total distance, speed, maximum speed and average
speed values, calculated by the motor controller, are wrong. The BLUEPED calculates the actual
data and sends it to the E-Bikes display (4).

3.1 Home screen - SEARCH
The app will search for BLUEPEDs right after its launch. If
a module is found, name, unique ID and signal strength
are shown on the display. Furthermore, the application
shows, if module and smartphone are paired. If there is
no signal over 3 seconds, the module are „greyed out“
and can no longer be selected.
If a smartphone connects to a module the rst time, a
PIN code has to be entered. The default PIN is „000000“.
Home screen – OPTIONS
A tap on “Unit” opens a menu where the speed measure-
ment unit can be selected from km/h and mph. A tap on
“About” shows the current version of the app.
3. BLUEPED APP FOR ANDROID
Home screen - MY BLUEPEDS
The database saves all data of the BLUEPEDs that were connected to the app, so the data can be
viewed without beeing connected to a specic BLUEPED. The data the can not be changed by
the user. The list in this view shows all BLUEPEDs in the database. The app adds BLUEPEDs that
were never connected to the app and updates the data of BLUEPEDs that were already connected
before. A tap on a BLUEPED opens the main screen, that shows the saved data. If the app starts the
rst time, a demo BLUEPED with the address„00:00:00:00:00:00“ is added to the database. With a
long tap a BLUEPED can be removed from the list.
As soon as the app is connected to the BLUEPED, the BLUEPED data is read by the app. After all the
data is read, the controls are activated and settings can be changed.
Important
After installing the BLUEPED, the E-Bike total dis-
tance has to be set to the module. That can be done
with a long tap on the total distance label. To repeat
that process, for example, if the module is installed
in another E-Bike, the label has to be long tapped
several times.
Controls
Max speed: The actual speed calculated with user
set wheel size.
Average speed: The actual average speed
Duration: Riding time in hours and minutes.
Distance: Actual distance.

Reset
Max speed, average speed, duration and distance
can be reset by a long tap on the specic label. A
long tap on the speed label resets max speed, av-
erage speed, duration, distance, max RPM, average
RPM, max PWR and average PWR.
STD: Current motor support mode of the E-Bike
Always ON/OFF: Shows if the tuning is activat-
ed automatically after turning on the E-Bike.

rently activated. Can only be activated in the app, if
tuning activation with“Light:On” or “Mode:HIGH” is
not on.

The color of the the speed label changes
from blue to red, when the E-Bike light is
turned on.
3.2 MAIN SCREEN SPEEDOMETER
Visibility: Can be set to values between 0 and 240
seconds or„innite“. If visibility is set to 0,
the app will no longer be able to nd the module
after disconnecting or restarting the E-Bike.
Wheel size: Speedometer calculation is based on this
value.
Max: Sets the maximum motor supported E-Bike
speed.
Module name: Advertising name with maximum 9
characters.
PIN: : Consists of exactly 6 digits. If too few digits
are entered, the value will be llled with zeros. (1 =
000001; 345 = 000345)
Tuning activation
Light:ON - Tuning is activated if E-Bike headlight is
turned on.
Mode: HIGH - Tuning is activated if the motor sup-
port mode is HIGH.
If one of the buttons is active, tuning activation with
the “Temporary” button in the app is not possible.

3.3 MAIN SCREEN SETTINGS
4.1 Home screen
The app will search for BLUEPEDs right after its launch.
If a module is found, name, unique ID and signal
strength are shown on the display. If there is no signal
over 3 seconds, the module is deleted from the list.
A tap on the BLUEPED connects the app. If the device
connects the rst time the PIN has to be entered in
a prompt.
The default PIN is “000000”.
The iPhone/iPad app requires ios 9.2 or higher.
4.2 Info screen
A tap on the + symbol in the top le corner opens
the Info screen. A list with all already connected BLUE
PEDs is shown. With a tap on the arrow the speedom
eter screen is opened and the last received data of the
specic BLUEPED is shown. A demo BLUEPED is gen
erated if the app starts the rst time. You can delete any
BLUEPED by swiping from le to right on the cell and
tapping “delete”.
e „About“ option shows the current app version.
4. BLUEPED APP FOR IPHONE/IPAD
As soon as app and BLUEPED are connected, the application will read out the data of the module.
After all the data is read, the controls are being activated and you can change the settings.
Important

• The app will automatically connect to the last connected module. By taping on „Back“ you can
deactivate the automatic connecting.
• If the connection fails, the app will automatically try o reconnect to the module. The screen
will show „Reconnect...“
• The BLUEPED can be reset to factory settings by pressing the E-Bike light button 10 times with
in 8 seconds.
• The visibility can be set to innite by taping the E-Bike light button 5 times within 8 second
(if, for example, the visibility was set to 0 seconds before)
• The speedometer data is only saved permanently, if the E-Bike speed is lower than 15 km/h.
If the E-Bike is turned o at a speed, that is higher than 15 km/h, the current speedometer data
is not saved permanently.
• The iOS app disconnects, if the app is running in the background.
The Android app remains connected.
• Data is send from BLUEPED to app 3 times a second.
• The total distance must not be balanced.
• The BLUEPED can be named after a smartphone, for example“Samsung”
• The BLUEPED can not be found, if visibility is set to 0 seconds.
• Data, that is reset in the smartphone app, will also be reset in the E-Bike display and vice versa.
• The maximum speed can only be reset by the E-Bike hand control if the E-Bike speed is 0 km/h.
• The same BLUEPED can have dierent UUIDs on dierent Apple devices. Also the Android and
iOS UUIDs are not the same.
Balance total distance
The E-Bike motor controller receives the fake speed signal from the BLUEPED, that’s why its calcu-
lated speedometer data, including total distance, is wrong. To be exact, the controller calculated
is lower than the actual total distance. The dierence between fake and actual total distance is
shown in the corresponding label. By pressing the “Balance”button, the BLUEPED generates a
speed signal, while the E-Bike is not moving. This process can be stopped by moving the E-Bike
or pressing the “Balance”button again. If the dierence is 0 the process stops also. The lower the
“Max” value, the lower the distance that has to be balanced.
