How to Select the Correct PearTune MSO Tuning Chip for Your E-Bike
The range of drive units is constantly evolving, and selecting the right chip might seem complex at first glance. However, for the tuning to function correctly, it must be fully compatible with your bike's electronics. With our guide, you can handle this process in just a minute.
- Identify the Drive Unit Manufacturer
This is the fundamental step. Check the bottom bracket area of your bike. Most commonly, you will see logos such as Bosch, Shimano, Yamaha, Giant, or Brose. Based on this brand, select the main category in our e-shop.
- Determine the Model and Generation (Model Year)
This is where errors occur most frequently. It is insufficient to simply know you have a "Bosch" system. You must distinguish whether it is an older model (e.g., Active Line), the classic Performance Line CX (Gen 4), or the latest Smart System.
- Check the manual: The exact drive unit type is always listed in the bike's documentation.
- Visual inspection: Compare the shape of your motor with the product images on our website. Different generations often feature distinct housing shapes.
- Check the connectors: The crucial difference often lies in the connectors (color and pin count) located under the motor cover.
- Identify the Display Type
Certain chips are activated via handlebar controls (Walk, +/-, etc.). Therefore, it is essential to identify your display model (e.g., Kiox 300, Intuvia, Purion). For some drive systems (e.g., Yamaha), the display type is a critical factor for chip compatibility.
Still Not Sure?
Your e-bike dealer can certainly assist you in identifying the specific drive unit type. Some dealers cooperate closely with us and are ready to install the PearTune MCO chip for you. Ask them about their pricing and installation terms.
If you cannot consult your dealer, simply send us a photo. If you remain uncertain even after checking the points above:
- Take your mobile phone.
- Take a photo of the motor detail (from the left side), the display, and ideally the label on the frame indicating the model year.
- Send the photos to our email at info@pear-control.com or via our WhatsApp chat.
We will help you accurately identify your drive system and immediately send you a link to the correct tuning chip.
