REDPED RESET
Reset module
How do I reset a RedPed?

In general, the e-bike must be switched on during the reset process. Depending on the module, different reset methods are available.

IMPORTANT NOTE
After a successful reset, the PIN is set to 000000 reset. A previously invisible module will then be displayed in the app again.
RedPed 3

Connect a reset switch and press it at least 10 times within 10 seconds, at intervals of approximately 0.5 to 1.0 seconds.

It is best to keep pressing continuously until the e-bike display shows 1 km as the distance or the module is found in the app again.

As an alternative to the reset switch, you can also use a Phillips screwdriver.

VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS
RedPed 2s & RedPed for Bosch Smart

Connect the included reset cable and wait at least 20 seconds.

CAUTION
Do not forget to disconnect the reset cable again afterward. Otherwise, the module will perform another reset approximately every 20 seconds.

Tuning detection & limp mode
Which error codes does Bosch display when tuning is detected?

When the Bosch system detects manipulation, the motor noticeably reduces its power and switches to limp mode.

Bosch Smart System BES3
524001 525001 525002 525003 525004
Bosch non-Smart system BES2
504
How do I exit Bosch limp mode?

The procedure depends on how often the tuning has already been detected.

1st and 2nd detection
The e-bike must be ridden in its original state for more than 90 minutes without any manipulation being detected. Simply switching it off and on again is not sufficient.
3. Detection
Limp mode remains permanently active. The 90-minute ride is then no longer sufficient. The error can only be reset by an authorized Bosch specialist dealer using the Bosch DiagnosticTool 3.
How can I avoid tuning detection on Bosch motors?

To reduce the risk of limp mode, we recommend setting a maximum speed of 33.0 km/h in the RedPed app.

RECOMMENDED SETTING
max. 33.0 km/h
Higher settings increase the risk of tuning detection.

Higher speeds are technically possible. However, settings above 33.0 km/h are used at your own risk.

EP6 & EP801 error codes
What does the W292 error mean on Shimano EP6 and EP801?

The EP6 and EP801 motors feature integrated tuning detection.

WARNING LEVEL
W292

W292 is displayed while riding and accompanied by an audible signal.

However, the error can also occur if no signal is received from the speed sensor and the speed remains at 0 km/h when setting off. In this case, there may be a problem with the magnet, or the tuning chip may be defective.

What happens with the Shimano E295 and E299 errors?

If the initial W292 error is ignored, the following error occurs: E295.

FIRST
E295
Can occur up to four times.
ON THE 5TH OCCURRENCE
E299
Motor is locked.
E299
As soon as E299 occurs, a visit to a Shimano workshop is unavoidable. The motor must be removed and sent to the Shimano distributor Paul Lange.
The cost of unlocking is €119 plus VAT. The applicable workshop costs for installation and removal are added.
