Installation Time |
Tool-free installation; mounts on the chainstay in approx. 1–2 minutes. |
Same fast installation time (1–2 minutes), with a more secure and vibration-resistant fit. |
|
Maximum Supported Speed |
Assistance typically increases up to 35–37 km/h, depending on wheel size. |
Same assistance range of 35-37 km/h, but with higher measurement accuracy thanks to improved sensing. |
|
Speed Display Accuracy |
Output speed on the bike’s display becomes random and highly inaccurate, requiring an external GPS device for correct speed readings. |
Maintains correct display readings using a 1 : 1.5 speed-correction algorithm, providing accurate speed feedback without external devices. |
|
Battery Lifetime |
Approx. 5,000 km or ~6 months under regular use. |
Approx. 8,000 km or ~12 months, depending on conditions — engineered for extended service life. |
|
Build Quality |
Uses standard materials; the pin-lock mechanism is prone to wear and may break under repeated removal or vibration. |
Reinforced enclosure designed to lock directly into the speed sensor with enhanced durability and anti-vibration structure to prevent failures. |
|
Included Components |
Box, magnet, battery. Spacer not included, which may be required for some chainstay geometries. |
Box, magnet, battery. Includes multiple spacers, anti-vibration shims, and zip ties for universal and secure fitting. |

If the integrated (in dropout) sensor has the shape of the sensor in the second picture (Bosch Sensor), then you need the badassBox 4 Bosch X-Set

The integrated Bosch Sensor is located in the area of the dropout.
To get to the sensor you have to dismount the rear wheel.

With the included button head screw you can screw (for this you need a 2.5 mm Allen key) the G4 speed sensor to the G4 adapter (1).

(2) A suitably cut pad made of self-adhesive elastic foam is included as an option. This pad can be glued to the G4 adapter to attach it to the chain stay without the risk of scratches.

With the enclosed cable ties (3), you can mount the G4 adapter including screwed G4 speed sensor at a suitable location on the chain stay (4), where it is possible to slide the badassBox over the adapter.

Slide the badassBox onto the adapter until it clicks into place.
Reinstall the rear wheel.

Mount the spoke magnet and align it with the edge of the badassBox housing. That's it. Have fun with your faster e-bike!
