This article will help you to install and update the Harmony and Automatic system with desktop software.

You may need this guide in some situations, such as after replacing the hub interface, or to change the gear ratio configuration on the e-bike.

   • Front cog size - number of teeth on the front sprocket.
   • Rear cog size - number of teeth on the rear sprocket.
   • Bosch geared - make sure to select this only for Bosch Gen 2 variants. This has an impact on ride performance.
   • Chain only or belt compatible - make sure to select this variant on firmware variants 3.X.X.
   • Systems with 4.X.X firmware will only show one variant of System Configuration.
3. Proceed to configure the controller, depending on the controller your e-bike has:

Done and ready to roll

If you followed all steps you updated and/or installed the software for the Harmony system. Enjoy the ride!
