BadassBox - Shimano 2020 (Shimano Sensor SM-DUE11)

The badassBox is attached to the speed sensor of the e-bike and overrides the 16 mph (25 km/h) speed limit - you can expect to reach speeds of up to 25 mph (40km/h) , depending on the bike and gearing. Your displayed speed will be 2 times slower than your real speed. We recommend the use of GPS-related accessories for a more precise data acquisition of driving data (smartphone, bike computer, etc.).

The tuning kit manipulates the speed signal without altering the motor's power relative to pedaling speed. This guarantees a smooth motor control without speed limit interruptions. Depending on a tuning kit, some determine when assistance stops, while others remove the restriction entirely for continuous support. However, the achievable speed mostly depends on the eBike model. Achievable speed can be calculated using a simple formula:

Speed = Cadence [rpm] * Wheel circumference [mm] * Front Chainring Teeth / Rear Chainring Teeth * 60 [min/h] / 1.000.000 [mm/km]

The contactless and wireless badassBox transmits a modified speed signal in order to override the speed limit of your e-bike – without interfering with the motor's electronic circuitry or software. There's no need to open the motor and there is no risk of damaging it, the BadassBox can be fitted or removed in seconds.

This tuning kit is made to fit bikes with Shimano motors with the SM-DUE11 sensor (picture below) integrated into the bike, which uses a magnet in the brake disc.



A quality product designed, engineered and manufactured by us in Germany. The assembly requires a small conversion. Please read the instructions on the left before ordering!

If the integrated sensor looks like in the picture below, it is the older SM-DUE10 from Shimano. Then you need the badassBox 4 Shimano X-Set

If the Shimano sensor SM-DUE10 is easily accessible mounted on your chainstay, you only need a badassBox 4 Shimano 2019

Shimano SM-DUE10 sensor:


The delivery includes the following parts:
- one badassBox 4 Shimano 2019
- one badassBox 4 housing cover
- one AAA battery
- one spoke magnet with thumb screw
- one Universal Adapter
- a pad made of elastic foam
- one M5 nut
- one washer
- one cylinder screw
- four cable ties

The integrated Shimano sensor is located in the area of the fork-end. To access the sensor you will need to remove the rear wheel. Find the position of the integrated sensor in the fork-end of your e-Bike and loosen the screws that secure the sensor.



Place the sensor in the recess provided on the badassBox.



Attach the sensor to the badassBox using the cylinder head screw provided (you will need a 2 mm Allen key for this). Now you can mount the badassBox together with the sensor by means of cable ties (included) to the chainstay mount.

For initial installation, the supplied spoke magnet must be mounted instead of the original magnet. Our spoke magnet works identically to the original magnet without badassBox, but with badassBox mounted, it is necessary for the function with our patented field amplification.



The spoke magnet must be aligned next to the badassBox. To check the position of the magnet on the bike when it is stationary, lift the rear of the bike, turn the rear wheel (not the cranks!) and let it run. Pay attention to the speedometer or App of your bike. The indicated speed should be steady and slowly drop off as the rear wheel rolls out. If the spoke magnet touches the badassBox, the spoke magnet must be placed as close as possible to the badassBox and turned 90°. be rotated. Done!
