Feature |
❌ Conventional Tuning Chips |
✅ EPAspeed BOX |
|
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 49-50 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 : 2 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 sensor looks like the one in the second picture, then it is the Giant Sensor. Then you need the badassBox 4 Giant 2020.
If the Giant / Yamaha Sensor (first picture) is mounted easily accessible on your chainstay, you only need a badassBox 4 Giant / Yamaha.

The integrated Yamaha Sensor is located in the area of the fork-end.
To get to the sensor you have to dismount the rear wheel.

Find the position of the integrated sensor* in the fork-end of your e-bike.
*The sensor shape shown is an example.

Undo the screws of the bracket that holds the sensor* is fastened to the fork-end.
*The sensor shape shown is an example.

Fasten the Universal Adapter with cylinder head screw, washer and nut (included in delivery) to the Yamaha Sensor*.
*The sensor shape shown is an example.

Now you can attach the Universal Adapter with mounted Yamaha Sensor* on the chainstay with supplied cable ties.
*The sensor shape shown is an example.

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!
