100Nm | 750W To Gen 4 Systems
100Nm | 750W To Gen 4 Systems
The Issue
https://duel.com/r/ebike
Please bring 100NM and 750WATT upgrade to Bosch Performance line CX (BDU374Y) CX Gen 4 Drive Units.
I think (and many others too) want the 100nm/750watt upgrade to the GEN 4 CX motors (smart system) so if there is a chance, please we want Bosch to consider a firmware update that unlocks this capability for existing Gen 4 owners.
We believe the Gen 4 hardware is capable of handling this boost through a software update, unlocking the full potential of these motors without forcing users to buy new units. This upgrade would extend the life and enjoyment of countless e-bikes on the road today, since most Bosch E-bikes are quite expensive and EMTB's can go well over 5000$.
Q&A
Q: Isn't the GEN 4 SMART too old to have the update?
A: The BDU374Y got introduced in 2022 (the older non SMART GEN 4 got introduced in 2019 and is internally different) This means it has a bigger chance of getting the update
Q: Why did you start this petition?
A: I started this petition as many riders (including me) want the Power Software Upgrade, is is just a callout to Bosch to do it or not.
Q: Is it even possible?
A: Yes, as the thermal graph of both GEN 4 SMART and GEN 5 set at 85NM and 600W both have the same thermal throttling, which means thermal issues won't be an issue.
Q: Did Bosch respond?
A: Yes, they responded, they looked at my Turbo+ idea, and said they told their developers (typical Bosch response) but at least something.
Q: Why does my GEN 5 not have 100NM?
A: Bosch personally stated "The update to the 100Nm is also the manufacturer who decides which brand and motor can have this update"
This is one of the most disappointing things to see as a GEN 5 owner if you waited for a GEN 5 bike and saw your bike/brand doesn't support 100NM. However, all GEN 5 bikes do get 750W peak power instead of 600W. I've heard some people did not notice a big difference.
I am personally hoping for a 90NM and 700W upgrade to GEN 4 CX SMART systems in Autumn 2025, so Bosch doesn't do nothing in terms of power to GEN 4.
