That’s exactly the response Bosch is looking for, they don’t want you (or anyone else for that matter) messing with there design and breaking the law. Simply self preservation as there’s plenty of law abiding citizens who will buy there productsHope this can be easily overcome otherwise i won't be buying Bosch anytime soon.

Something you've not been telling usWhat on earth does 'limp home mode' mean? Why not just switch it off if they want to punish the individual. Or maybe they introduce 'drag' like seems to be happening with my Active Line Plus Mike
the biggest haibike dealer sells and fits dongles and honors the warranty if bosch did care about this then it would not be a option as it was all over his web site and still is 7 years later.Judging by the trouble Bosch has taken to implement this feature and the negative impact its hacking would have to their reputation I can't see it being hacked anytime soon.
There's an interesting point in this link:

Goodbye tuning: new anti-tuning software detects motor tuning and manipulation via sensors while you’re riding which then automatically switches the motor into limp home mode. Bosch is thus responding to the requirements of the EN15194: 2017 standard.
Expect other reputable suppliers to follow suit.
It seems that Bosch cares about it the hacking / dongles in order to meet the requirements of the EN15194: 2017 standard, see my post. I imagine that they're also very concerned that excessive disregard for the law could result in ebike permissions being withdrawn. This would be disastrous for their business.the biggest haibike dealer sells and fits dongles and honors the warranty if bosch did care about this then it would not be a option as it was all over his web site and still is 7 years later.
Whereas I hope it is foolproof.Just read that Bosch have put software in place to stop de-restricting their new motors for 2020. Hope this can be easily overcome otherwise i won't be buying Bosch anytime soon.
The trouble with your stance is that it absolutism. Bosch as a highly responsible and major corporation is concerned about its public image. They are also concerned that if their products were known to be easily hijacked,it could result in them facing civil liability and massive lawsuits. That would concern them greatly.. especially on the bottom line. They don't really care if some jackass modifies their machine and kills themselves in the process.. provided it does not affect their credibility and honour. In any court case for damages ,the court will ask have you taken REASONABLE precautions to prevent illegal modifications. And reasonable does not imply absolutethe biggest haibike dealer sells and fits dongles and honors the warranty if bosch did care about this then it would not be a option as it was all over his web site and still is 7 years later.

I imagine it's the dealer provinding the warranty, not Bosch. I very much doubt whether Bosch is monitoring every reseller around the world selling an ebike using a Bosch component, particularly in the UK which is a small market for them.like i said ebike shop fits dongles and honers the warranty despite saying the opposite on the bosch web site or did.
if they did care it would not be a option and its not like bosch dont know what ebike shop and now others are doing with there motors is it.
Yes, that's right.dealers send all bosch motors back to them for warranty replacement they are not allowed to open the motors as it will then void the warranty even tho a £5 drive side bearing needs replacing it has to be sent back to bosch.
