Extra power for drive units

Stuttgart/Reutlingen – For model year 2021 Bosch eBike Systems is providing software updates for Cargo Line, Cargo Line Speed, Performance Line Speed and Performance Line CX (from model year 2020 onwards). Now with a maximum torque of 85 Nm and further advances in the software, eBikers benefit from an even more natural and dynamic riding sensation. The increased drive torque ensures greater performance, particularly evident at low cadences: for even greater riding enjoyment in the city, out in the countryside and on the trails.

Easier acceleration with Cargo Line and Cargo Line Speed

Cargo Line makes goods easy and comfortable to transport by eCargo bike. The drive unit comes in two variants – the first with support for up to 25 km/h, and then Cargo Speed for up to 45 km/h. With the software update, cargo bikers will benefit from a stronger torque of 85 Nm as well as more dynamic adjustment. The motor provides even more powerful support at low cadences. This makes uphill starts easier, as well as delivering appreciable acceleration when loaded up – and thus ensures stress-free transporting of heavy goods.

More dynamic riding sensation with Performance Line Speed

Performance Line Speed accelerates S-pedelecs up to 45 km/h, so long distances can be covered with ease. From model year 2021 onwards the drive will provide a maximum torque of 85 Nm. This ensures a bigger boost and a more dynamic riding sensation, both of which are especially evident at low cadences. High speeds are quickly achieved and long distances can be covered effortlessly.

Experience the ultimate in eMTBing with Performance Line CX

Compact, lightweight and with more power, Performance Line CX combines high quality materials, an extremely powerful drive and high-end sensors. With the software update, eMountain bikers can look forward to new motor control features, increased torque of up to 85 Nm, and further advances in eMTB mode. The riding experience is thus even more natural, intuitive and powerful. This brings eMountain biking on the trail to a whole new level.

Software update available from summer 2020

Software updates for Cargo Line and Performance Line CX (from model year 2020 onwards) will be installable by specialist retailers starting in summer 2020. Cargo bikes with Cargo Speed and S-pedelecs with Performance Speed drive units cannot be retrofitted.
