The wait was worth it: Bosch eBike Systems launches first hub motor

Stuttgart/Reutlingen – For modern city dwellers, the eBike is more than just a means of transportation – it's an expression of a conscious and flexible lifestyle. For all those who want to get around the city quickly and in style, Bosch eBike Systems is now launching a range of groundbreaking new products. At its heart is the Hub Line: a lightweight, agile and almost invisible hub motor that was developed specifically for the requirements of urban eBikes. In combination with the new, compact PowerTube 360 battery, it enables particularly slim, lightweight and stylish eBikes. The urban product range is rounded off by the next generation of the Bosch ConnectModule for smart theft protection, the compact LED Controller for intuitive operation and the minimalist Intuvia 200 display. With our new features related to the Hub Line, we are ushering in a new era of urban eBikes. They are not only light and agile and excite with a clear and modern design language, but also revolutionize the riding experience in the city. At the same time, we are making connected eBiking accessible to even more people. eBike riders benefit from all the advantages of our smart system: from the usual Bosch quality and durability to intuitive digital services and reliable support – all from a single source and engineered in Germany....Claus Fleischer, CEO of Bosch eBike Systems Hub Line: Clean style, smart power For all those who want to organize their everyday urban life with style and ease, Bosch eBike Systems is breaking new ground with the Hub Line. While the company was previously known for its powerful mid-drive motors, the Hub Line heralds a new era for elegant urban bikes as the first hub motor in the smart system. Developed specifically for urban dynamics, its 45 Nm of torque immediately provides noticeably lively yet sensitive support. Thanks to a smart sensor function, this always remains precisely controllable and ensures agile riding behavior, taking the effort out of situations such as starting off at traffic lights or moderate inclines. The motor is completely decoupled at speeds above 25 km/h, allowing the eBike to be ridden like a conventional bike with virtually no pedal resistance. This feeling of lightness and agility is additionally underscored by the motor's low weight of only approx. 5.1 lbs. The eBike is easy to carry and remains pleasantly maneuverable in city traffic. At the same time, the compact design supports the minimalist aspirations: with a diameter of only around 3.9 inches, the motor blends discreetly into the hub and becomes an almost invisible part of the clean overall design thanks to its black aluminum housing. As an integral part of the smart system, the Hub Line is fully connected. With the eBike Flow app, the smartphone becomes an intuitive control center for intelligent functions such as theft protection, navigation and personalization. Regular over-the-air updates ensure that the eBike is always up to date. For those who want to glide even more comfortably through traffic, the Hub Line can also be combined with the eShift electronic gear shifting solution. eBike riders can choose between manual or automatic gear shifting and benefit from efficient gear shifting operations at exactly the right moment. PowerTube 360: Energy in its slimmest form In keeping with the clean design of the Hub Line, Bosch presents the slimmest battery in the smart system to date with the PowerTube 360. Its slim profile of just 2.7 inches in diameter enables such inconspicuous frame integration that eBike models can hardly be distinguished from a conventional bike at first glance – the perfect basis for minimalist, urban eBike designs. But it's not just the design that's impressive: the battery's low weight of just approx. 4.6 lbs optimizes the eBike's center of gravity, making it more responsive and dynamic. With 360 Wh, the battery provides reliable energy for daily urban use and ranges of over 50 miles¹. The DualBattery system can easily be extended for longer distances, for example, with the PowerMore 250 Range Extender. Depending on the manufacturer's design, the PowerTube 360 is either removable or permanently installed in the frame. Bosch ConnectModule: Intelligent protection for greater peace of mind Whether for a quick stop at your favorite café or parking in the yard for a longer time – thanks to the Bosch ConnectModule, eBike riders can remain relaxed even when they don't have their eBike in sight. Equipped with GPS, cellular and motion sensors, it forms the basis for advanced digital theft protection functions such as eBike Alarm. The new module generation brings two decisive innovations: It now also uses Bluetooth® Low Energy technology, which enables precise tracking to within a few yards. This means that an eBike can even be found in places where classic GPS trackers reach their limits, such as in basements or backyards. In addition, the module can now be retrofitted more easily to compatible eBikes using a flexible mounting. The extended features are part of the Flow+ paid subscription service. LED Controller: maximum control, minimal design With the new LED Controller , Bosch presents the successor to the LED Remote. Thanks to its design, the new control unit is around 65% smaller than its predecessor, creating a tidy, minimalist look on the handlebar. The focus here is on ergonomics: all five buttons are optimally positioned within the thumb radius and provide noticeable and audible feedback. This allows eBike riders to change the support mode, activate the walk assistance or operate the lights safely without taking their eyes off the road. The LEDs clearly display information such as the riding mode and battery level, while a sensor automatically adjusts their brightness to the ambient light – for optimum readability day and night. A practical USB-C connection with up to ten watts of charging power 2 also enables external devices to be charged. Intuvia 200: Focus through clarity The Intuvia 200 is more than just a display – it's a design statement. Its sleek, minimalist look blends seamlessly into the aesthetics of any eBike and emphasizes the clean look. The 2.4-inch grayscale display provides a razor-sharp image and ensures excellent readability in any weather and from any perspective. This allows eBike riders to concentrate fully on the flow during the ride and enjoy the urban experience. The future of urban eBiking starts now Perfectly coordinated and digitally connected: Hub Line, PowerTube 360, ConnectModule, LED Controller and Intuvia 200 together define a new generation of urban eBikes. They impress with their combination of intuitive riding experience, minimalist design and smart additional functions. This makes the eBike an integral part of modern city life: whether on the way to work, for a spontaneous outing to visit friends or for a quick ride through the city. 1 Calculation basis: City eBike with Hub Line, PowerTube 360, range in Eco mode approx. 55 miles. This value may vary depending on use and conditions. 2 The USB-C charging function for the LED Controller depends on the drive unit. Further information is available from dealers.

Everyday life and recreation in perfect balance: New features for City eBikes wi ...

Stuttgart/Reutlingen – Confident in the city, relaxed in their free time: Many eBike riders use their eBike for running errands in the city, commuting to work, and going for leisurely weekend rides. For the perfect balance between everyday life and recreation on an eBike, Bosch eBike Systems is making its portfolio of City eBikes even more powerful. The new generation of the Active Line Plus provides more powerful support and is also smaller and lighter. Also new are the Intuvia 200 display and the next generation of the Bosch ConnectModule with improved functions. Bosch is also adding a new battery to the smart system: The PowerTube 720 enables eBike rides of up to 115 miles.Active Line Plus: Natural support for the city Always stay in the flow, navigate through traffic effortlessly, and negotiate ascents with ease: The Active Line Plus has been the tried-and-tested drive unit for City eBikes since 2017. Now the new generation provides even more powerful support. Up to 60 Nm of torque, 600 watts of power, and 340 percent support ensure agile acceleration in the city – allowing riders to master all routes with confidence and ease. In addition, the power of the new drive unit is delivered in a smooth and controlled manner at all times: Thanks to its improved response behavior, the Active Line Plus remains sensitive and responds precisely. Riders can also use the customizable riding modes to adapt it precisely to their personal needs. For added comfort, the new Active Line Plus is compatible with the eShift electric gear shifting solution. If desired, the system automatically takes over the gear shifting operation and always ensures the best gear ratio – ideal for dynamic city traffic or relaxed rides in the countryside. For additional safety and control, the Active Line Plus is compatible with eBikes that have a backpedal brake. The new generation of the Active Line Plus weighs only around 6 lbs and has become even more compact thanks to a new two-stage gearbox. This makes it around 1 lb lighter, reducing the total weight of the eBike and making it even easier to handle in the city. The 17% smaller volume also allows for more discreet integration into modern eBike designs. The new drive unit comes with an optimized sealing and bearing concept that makes it a reliable companion for riders in all weather. During development, Bosch takes care to use materials responsibly. Around 40% recycled aluminum in the housing cuts almost half of the CO₂ emissions compared to conventional aluminum. Recycled materials are also used for plastic components. Intuvia 200: Focus through clarity Simple, intuitive, focused: The new Intuvia 200 display shows riders all important information at a glance. With its excellent readability, modern design, and individual setting options, it turns everyday rides into experiences. The large font and clear design ensure that all riding information can be understood at a glance – even in full sun or at twilight. This is because the 2.4-inch grayscale display automatically adjusts its brightness up to 1,000 nits and thus adapts to changing conditions. High contrasts, deep black values, and good viewing angle stability ensure excellent readability in any weather and from almost any perspective. It is controlled with a separate control unit 1 , allowing both hands to stay on the handlebars. For a carefree riding experience, the Intuvia 200 is permanently mounted on the handlebars – making removal, stowing, or the risk of scratches when stored in a backpack a thing of the past. With its stylish design, the new one-piece housing integrates seamlessly into the look of streamlined eBikes. High-quality workmanship and the full-surface connection of the display glass and LCD panel also make it robust and resistant to dirt and rain. Riders can configure the exact ride data shown on the display themselves: They can select their favorite information in the display settings, e.g., heart rate, elevation, or current smartphone charge level. As part of the smart system, the Intuvia 200 also displays additional information depending on the eBike's equipment – such as the active ABS mode or the gear currently engaged for electric gear shifting. LED Controller: Compact, versatile, advanced With the successor to the LED Remote, Bosch is setting new standards in terms of ergonomics and design. The new LED Controller is around 65% smaller than its predecessor, creating an uncluttered, minimalist look on the handlebars. All important functions can be operated safely with the thumb using five buttons with tactile and audible feedback. The LED indicators adapt to the ambient light and always show clearly legible information such as the riding mode or battery level. A practical USB-C port with up to ten watts of charging power 2 also enables external devices to be charged. Precise tracking with the new Bosch ConnectModule For even more effective theft protection, Bosch eBike Systems is expanding the functions of the Bosch ConnectModule to include precise tracking using Bluetooth® Low Energy technology (BLE). This means that the new generation module can locate a stolen eBike to within a few yards. It can even be found in places where a pure GPS signal reaches its limits – such as in basements or backyards. The Bosch ConnectModule forms the technical basis for digital theft protection in the smart system. Through the interaction between GPS, cellular, and motion sensors, it connects the eBike to the internet, maintaining a connection via the eBike Flow app no matter where the eBike or its owner is located. In the event of suspicious activity of the parked eBike, the system can trigger an alarm and send a notification. The tracking function in conjunction with the ConnectModule is part of the optional subscription service Flow+. Reliable range for long rides: PowerTube 720 Simply set off and forget about the battery level: For spontaneous weekend excursions, Bosch is expanding the smart system with the PowerTube 720 . The powerful new battery weighs only around 8.6 lbs and has an energy density of approx. 185 Wh/kg (84 Wh/lb). Depending on the mode and conditions, rides up to 115 miles are possible. 3 The compact, short construction allows for deeper integration into the frame. This lowers the center of gravity of the entire eBike and ensures more stable handling and a better sense of balance – for example when riding with heavy saddle bags. Depending on the manufacturer, the PowerTube 720 is either permanently installed or can be removed. It is integrated either horizontally or vertically in the eBike frame. The PowerTube 720 is also flexible in combination with the smart system: Because it has the same length and mount, it is interchangeable with the PowerTube 800, PowerTube 600, PowerTube 540, and PowerTube 360, provided the eBike manufacturer has designed the frame for this. The PowerMore 250 Range Extender can also be used for even more range. The PowerTube 720 is additionally protected with the Battery Lock digital function: In the event of theft, the battery is deactivated, making it useless to thieves. This means riders can relax and enjoy their breaks on every ride. 1 Intuvia 200 is compatible with the LED Controller, the LED Remote, and the System Controller with Mini Remote. 2 The USB-C charging function for the LED Controller depends on the drive unit. Further information is available from dealers. 3 Basis of calculation: Touring eBikes with Performance Line PX, PowerTube 720, range in Eco mode. The values may vary depending on use and conditions.

Peace of mind when buying pre-owned eBikes: Certified by Bosch creates trust in ...

Stuttgart/Reutlingen – Pre-owned or refurbished eBikes are becoming an increasingly attractive option for many people. 1 However, potential buyers are often unsure about the condition of pre-owned models and therefore want more transparency for peace of mind when making a purchase decision. With Certified by Bosch, Bosch eBike Systems is the first manufacturer of eBike drive systems to create a digital certification for the pre-owned market. The certificate digitally displays the condition of the battery and drive unit of the smart system, shows important information about the model and confirms that the eBike has not been reported as stolen in the eBike Flow app. From July 2026, refurbishment specialist Rebike will be the first partner to certify all eBikes with a Bosch system and issue them with the Certified by Bosch certificate. From the beginning of 2027, Bosch will also use the certificate to support specialist bicycle retailers in the sale of pre-owned models.“Our products are designed to a high quality and for a long service life, making them ideally suited for a second life in the pre-owned market. This market is important: it makes eBikes accessible to more people and contributes to sustainable mobility. With Certified by Bosch, together with Rebike as our first refurbishment partner, we are establishing a transparent and professional offering that provides buyers and sellers alike with a high level of trust,” says Claus Fleischer, CEO of Bosch eBike Systems. Certified by Bosch: clarity about battery, drive unit and system condition Anyone buying a pre-owned eBike is faced with a challenge: it is difficult to realiably assess the condition of the battery and drive unit from the outside or compared with other offerings. At the same time, these components significantly determine the value and thus the purchase price. This is precisely where Certified by Bosch provides clarity: the digital certificate for the smart system records the condition of the battery and drive unit at the time of certification and displays it in an intuitive star-based rating display, with a higher number of stars reflecting a better condition. 2 For the battery, information such as the number of charge cycles and the remaining capacity in percent can be displayed. For the drive unit, values such as the distance already travelled and the power used so far are included in the rating. The certificate also shows important model information such as brand, model year and frame number and confirms that the eBike has not been reported as stolen in the eBike Flow app and that there are no indications of tuning. By comparing the serial numbers of the battery and drive unit with the serial numbers displayed in Certified by Bosch, it is possible to ensure that the certificate actually belongs to the eBike being sold. To better protect eBikers against fraud, authenticity can also be easily checked using a QR code. Widespread availability: Rebike to become the first partner from July 2026 Rebike is the first partner to rely on Certified by Bosch: refurbished eBikes with the Bosch certificate will initially be available in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and the Netherlands from July 2026. The certified models will be available in the Rebike online shop, in the company's own stores, on partner marketplaces and in selected shop-in-shop areas at Decathlon. Belgium, Spain, Italy and other European markets are also set to follow. “Our customers appreciate the security we offer as a professional provider when buying a refurbished eBike. In addition to our own services, such as our TÜV-certified Premium Refurbishment Programme and the two-year Rebike warranty on the motor and battery, with Certified by Bosch we are creating even more transparency about the condition of our models with the Bosch system. Together, we are strengthening confidence in refurbished eBikes and making the pre-owned market as a whole even more attractive,” says Sven Erger, COO and co-founder of Rebike. From 2027, Bosch eBike Systems will also be using the Bosch certificate to support specialist dealers in Europe with their pre-owned eBike sales. Digitally certified eBikes will be available at more contact points and the transparent second-hand market will continue to grow. Buying pre-owned eBikes: an environmentally conscious choice Buying a pre-owned eBike with a Bosch system is a conscious decision for the environment. Compared to the new production of a similar model, CO₂ and CO₂ equivalents savings of up to 208 kg can be achieved. 3 This corresponds to around 80% of the emissions of a new eBike. The reason: no new materials are required and no new components are manufactured. 3 Buying second-hand conserves valuable resources and saves money. With Certified by Bosch, eBikers don't have to compromise on safety and transparency when buying a pre-owned bike. 1 Source: ZIV market data 2025 , last accessed on 15/04/2026. 2 The following information is displayed: certification information (certificate creator, creation date, certificate ID, overall star rating), eBike information (model, brand, model year, total distance and frame number), registration (confirmation that the eBike is not marked as stolen in the eBike Flow app. If the eBike is marked as stolen, a Bosch certificate will not be issued. The theft status is checked solely on the basis of the messages in the eBike Flow app. A comparison with police search databases or other external registers does not take place); information on whether components are locked and registered, the drive unit (product name, product code, serial number, supported distance, tuning detection (no certificate is issued in the case of tuning), star rating, potentially logged faults), the battery (product name, product code, serial number, number of charge cycles, remaining capacity in percent, star rating, potentially logged faults), the system and services (software status, star rating, potentially logged system faults); the star rating is based on Bosch's own evaluation criteria. 3 Bosch eBike Systems has considered the effects of CO₂ as well as other greenhouse gases and climate-relevant substances, insofar as these are relevant to the analysis. For ease of reading, Bosch eBike Systems uses CO₂ synonymously with CO₂ equivalents. The basis for calculating the carbon footprint of an eBike is a Trekking eBike with a Performance Line CX, PowerTube 500 and Kiox 300 and a mileage of 11,000 km. The remaining 20% is made up of transport, packaging, recycling and use. The calculation was carried out by TÜV Rheinland (as of April 2024).

Connect favorite devices for an enhanced eBike riding experience

Stuttgart/Reutlingen – Want to check your current speed, ride in your ideal training zone with precise performance values, navigate with confidence or just keep an eye on your eBike battery level? With Bosch Live Data Interface, eBike riders can personalize their riding experience even more: It allows riders to connect their own GPS bike computers, or in the future, fitness watches, smart glasses and helmets to the eBike. With this new functionality, eBikes equipped with the Bosch smart system can connect directly with select Garmin Edge cycling computers to bring ride data together in real time. Bosch collaborates with Garmin as the first company to integrate this functionality, and the Live Data Interface presents an opportunity for further integrations with third-party products and apps. Ambitious eBikers ride with a highly personalized setup. The eBike should adapt seamlessly to their preferences. That is why we are making our system accessible to third-party companies. We are taking the first step with Garmin and are excited to provide riders with relevant live data from their eBike directly on their Edge cycling computer....Claus Fleischer, CEO of Bosch eBike Systems Live Data Interface: more options for displaying ride data Until now, eBike riders had two ways to display live ride data from the smart system: through Bosch displays or a using a smartphone with the Bosch eBike Flow app. With Live Data Interface, the smart system now makes live ride data available for third-party devices and apps via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Whether on a trail, completing a trekking tour, or on their daily ride through the city, eBike riders can now show their ride data on compatible third-party devices. Available information includes performance-related values like speed, total distance, and cadence, as well as important system data like battery charge level percentage, remaining range, and the status of the theft protection feature eBike Lock. This makes the eBike an even bigger part of each rider’s personal digital ecosystem. Next Level Training: Bosch smart system eBikes and Garmin Edge cycling computers Riders will be able to connect compatible Garmin Edge cycling computers* to the Bosch smart system, bringing all their ride data together on the Edge display. At launch, this includes the Garmin Edge 550/850/1050 and Edge 540/840/1040 – advanced GPS bike computers loaded with performance features – and the rugged Garmin Edge MTB, purposefully built for mountain bikers and those long days on the trail. The integration is available now in the Garmin Public Beta program. “We are excited to be the first brand to collaborate with Bosch on their innovative Live Data integration. Garmin proudly makes cycling computers for riders of all abilities and by displaying important information like rider power and battery status in real time right on their Edge display, we believe our eBike customers will get even more from their adventures,” says Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing. eBike riders can use the live data integration to manage effort and train more efficiently. With the live data integration, the rider’s power output – measured by the smart system – can be shown directly on the Garmin Edge without the need to install a separate power meter on the eBike. Combining this functionality with other metrics like cadence and speed means riders can optimize their training for targeted performance zones. Other important eBike data is also communicated to the Garmin Edge cycling computer, enhancing the experience for all types of riding. Riders will see real-time battery levels, and the Garmin Edge eBike Smart Range feature will display estimated remaining distance directly based on their planned course. Full control: Data protection is a top priority Protecting privacy is a top priority for Bosch eBike Systems. eBike riders can decide for themselves at any time whether and which device or app they want to connect to their eBike. This allows them to retain full control over their data. *Coming soon to compatible Edge devices and available now in the Garmin Public Beta program. Not all Garmin devices are supported. A detailed overview of compatibility is available in the Bosch eBike Systems Help Center.

More power when it counts: intelligent performance upgrade 2.0 for dynamic eBike ...

Stuttgart/Reutlingen – Master even the steepest ascents with ease, ride technical uphills with full control, and overcome challenging trail sections: From May 2026, Bosch eBike Systems is offering ambitious riders the free performance upgrade 2.0 for the Performance Line CX and Performance Line CX-R, which consistently expands the dynamic ecosystem. The eBike Flow app can be used to increase the maximum torque and maximum support – the intelligent riding software recognizes technically challenging situations and automatically delivers full power precisely when it is needed. Together with the customizable Extended Boost, the Drivetrain Tensioner, the new Trick Check feature, and the 12A Charger, which will be available from the end of 2026, the result is an enhanced overall package for performance riders. eMTB riding means constantly challenging yourself on the trail – and mastering new situations. This requires not only more power, but also intelligent power delivery at crucial moments. This is exactly what drives us in the further development of our dynamic ecosystem. We want every update to feel noticeably better on the trail – not just on the data sheet....Claus Fleischer, CEO of Bosch eBike Systems Performance upgrade 2.0: situation-specific peak power for key technical sections With the performance upgrade 2.0, the smart system from Bosch provides even more torque and support for powerful riding on steep trails, when negotiating high steps, or when cranking through tight curves. Using the eBike Flow app, performance riders can increase the torque of the Performance Line CX and the Performance Line CX-R to up to 120 Nm in any riding mode, with the maximum setting value being defined by the respective bicycle manufacturer. Starting from the basic setting of 85 Nm, there is a wide adjustment range for personalized tuning. In addition, the maximum support can be increased: Up to a speed of 20 mph, up to 600% support is now provided in certain riding situations. 1 What this means on the trail: The long section of exposed roots, the challenging exit from the hairpin curves, the sudden steep section after crossing a stream – it is precisely in these key areas that the intelligent riding software delivers full power – tailored to the specific situation and precisely regulated. This requires dynamic rider power on the pedals: For riders who provide more input in the short term, the system delivers the decisive power boost and rewards them with a new sense of achievement. Immediately afterward, the system adjusts back to an efficient level. This intelligent, short-term power peak reduces material wear, particularly on the chain, cassette, and freewheel, and maximizes the range. Riders decide for themselves whether and to what extent they want to use this short-term peak support via the eBike Flow app – for a natural riding experience with full control. The performance upgrade 2.0 will be available from May 4, 2026 as a free over-the-air update. More information about the Performance Upgrade 2.0 can be found at: www.bosch-ebike.com/en/performance-upgrade . Adjustable Extended Boost: more control and more personalization Extended Boost gives eMTB riders the decisive boost they need to overcome obstacles such as roots, steps, or rocks with ease – even if a full pedal stroke is not possible. The system delivers an intuitive, residual boost of up to 2.2 yards. From mid-2026, a new slider in the Bosch eBike Flow app will make it possible to set the length of the overrun for each riding mode. Some modes, such as eMTB, eMTB+, or Race, already have a predefined boost length by default that matches the characteristic of the respective mode. The system reacts intelligently to the current situation on the trail: shorter and smoother for low drops, longer and more dynamic for high, angular steps. The final amount of overrun is determined by the interplay between app setting, riding mode, and pedal pressure. The result: smooth riding on the trail and full control when negotiating technical sections – making pedal jams a thing of the past. This allows performance riders to customize their setup according to their own preferences – for a precisely tuned riding experience. Drivetrain Tensioner for maximum control For an even more direct response and maximum control in technical riding situations, Bosch eBike Systems is introducing the Drivetrain Tensioner for the Performance Line CX and Performance Line CX-R. A software optimization closes the freewheel between the motor and rear wheel. This reduces the free travel on the pedal to a minimum and eliminates the usual delay when pedaling. The result is almost instantaneous traction with an even quieter freewheel, with the rider's input converted directly into precise propulsion. This direct power transmission enables superior control and noticeably more agile riding behavior, particularly on demanding sections, such as when starting off on a step or accelerating out of tight curves. Especially in combination with the performance upgrade 2.0, the Drivetrain Tensioner can protect the freewheel and thus ensure a longer service life and lower repair costs. Available from mid-2026 in eMTB+ and Race riding modes via an update through the eBike Flow app. Trick Check: a fun way to measure trail skills Flow smoothly through a curve on the rear wheel or take the next jump a little further – with the new Trick Check function, every successful move becomes an achievement. The sensor technology automatically recognizes Jumps, Wheelies, Manuals, or Stoppies, records duration, height, distance, or angle and confirms success with an audible signal. In addition, the last trick is shown on the display for eight seconds – a moment that visualizes the rider's personal achievements and motivates them in a fun way. Once the ride is over, the eBike Flow app shows all personal best performances at a glance. Riders can track progress, compare attempts – and generate additional motivation for the next ride. 2 12A Charger: faster charging, more time on the trail True performance on the trail means maximum time on the eBike. That's why the new 12A Charger now significantly shortens charging breaks. With a charging power of around 500 W, it charges around three times faster than the familiar 4A Charger; a PowerTube 800 thus reaches a battery level of around 50 percent in around one hour. This is made possible by modern GaN technology. Since it generates significantly less waste heat than conventional semiconductors, it enables efficient and intelligent thermal management. Despite its high performance, the charger is compact, weighs just over 2 lbs, and therefore fits in a backpack or small bike bag. For performance riders, this means spontaneous recharging, a range buffer before their after-work ride, and more time on the trail instead of at the power outlet. The 12A Charger is compatible with all Bosch smart system batteries and will be available from the end of 2026. With the performance upgrade 2.0 and the new 12A Charger, Bosch eBike Systems brings together important facets of performance eBiking: The Drivetrain Tensioner and Extended Boost ensure unparalleled direct control and confidence, while personalized tuning, fun skill tracking, and fast charging round off the experience in the connected dynamic ecosystem. The result: a riding experience that can be felt on the trail at every moment. 1 600% support only applies to the modes: Race, Turbo, eMTB+, Cargo, Auto 2 Trick Check is shown on the following displays: Kiox 300, Kiox 400C, Kiox 500, Purion 200, Purion 400

New features for the smart system and new SmartphoneGrip Vertical

Stuttgart/Reutlingen – A jump over a root, a short wheelie out of a corner: many eMountain bikers want to show what they can do while on the trails and work specifically on their riding technique. With the latest update for the eBike Flow app, your own skills can now be measured. At the heart of Release 1.34 is the "Trick Check" function, which eBikers can use to measure and analyse their performance on the trail. The update also includes the integration of heart rate data into the ride statistics, a practical favourites function for route planning, and expansion of the eShift portfolio. In addition to the update, Bosch eBike Systems is also expanding the range of display options in the smart system: the new SmartphoneGrip Vertical transforms smartphones into a display in portrait view."Trick Check": measure, analyse – and improve – your own skills on the trail The new "Trick Check" function is the ideal solution for eMountain bikers wanting some action and to take their tricks to the next level. Making every trail a playground: no matter whether jumps, wheelies, manuals or stoppies – "Trick Check" recognises every trick automatically. Information such as the duration, height, distance or angle of the trick is recorded by the sensor system and confirmed by means of an audible signal. The trick is also clearly shown on the display for eight seconds. Once the ride is over, eBikers can view and analyse their personal best performance from within the eBike Flow app. "Trick Check" is compatible with selected drive units and displays in the smart system. 1 Heart rate in the statistics: analyse your training in detail Sporty, ambitious eBikers can now analyse their performance even more precisely. While it was already possible to connect a heart rate monitor to the eBike via Bluetooth and track the data live on the display 2 , this data will now also be saved in the eBike Flow app. After the ride, the average heart rate and detailed heart rate progression can be viewed in the statistics. This allows riders to precisely analyse the workload and helps them to make their training more effective. Save favourites: plan and start your routes even quicker The new update from Bosch eBike Systems also simplifies everyday route planning. In the eBike Flow app, eBikers can now save several locations as favourites, such as their home or workplace, via a new button on the map in the "Planning" menu item. Three of these favourites can be added as navigation shortcuts and selected directly via the Quick Menu on the ride screen or on the Kiox 300, Kiox 400C and Kiox 500 displays while out on your next ride. Making it even easier to start navigation. See destinations at a glance: use your smartphone as an eBike display in portrait view Complementing the digital functions, the SmartphoneGrip Vertical enhances the new features in the smart system. Transforming the smartphone 3 into an eBike display in portrait view. During the ride, the smartphone charges inductively or via USB-C via the eBike battery – allowing for reliable use of even battery-intensive applications. The Bosch eBike Flow app's ride screen shows you all the important data during the ride – from speed and battery level to the arrival time. While navigating, eBikers can also see a much larger area of the route in portrait view and therefore ride with more foresight. Two clamps ensure a reliable grip even on cobblestones or gravel paths, while a rubber coating protects the phone. All buttons and ports remain freely accessible. The SmartphoneGrip Vertical can be easily retrofitted and is compatible with the display mount for Kiox 300, Kiox 500 and the SmartphoneGrip. It can be flexibly mounted in front of, on or next to the stem, and the angle can be adjusted to suit you. Smoother gear changes: eShift integration from Gearsensor Bosch eBike Systems is also expanding its portfolio of integrated gear shifting solutions: eShift now also supports mechanical hub gear and derailleur systems equipped with the GS gear shifting solution for manual gear shifting from Gearsensor – ideal for Urban, City and Trekking eBikes. The motor support is briefly interrupted while you are shifting gear. The result is a noticeably smoother and more comfortable gear change, which ensures the ride continues uninterrupted and can also reduce the wear on components. If required, the display can give eBikers a shift recommendation – for relaxed riding without having to overthink things. 1 The "Trick Check" function works with the Performance Line CX (BDU384Y), Performance Line CX-R (BDU384Y), Performance Line CX Race (BDU374Y), Performance Line CX (BDU374Y) and Performance Line SX (BDU314Y) and on the following displays: Kiox 300, Kiox 400C, Kiox 500, Purion 200, Purion 400. The function is activated as standard on the Kiox 400C and Purion 400. 2 Not available for the Intuvia 100. 3 Suitable for smartphones incl. camera body and case with the following dimensions (L x W x D): 135–170 mm x 68–80 mm x 7–12 mm and a total weight of up to 260 g incl. case. Not suitable for foldable smartphones and smartphones with flip covers/cases. Depending on the case, the inductive charging feature may be limited.

Ninth season of the Bosch eMTB Challenge: Established event series gets bigger a ...

Stuttgart/Reutlingen – Exciting trails and challenges for every riding level: The Bosch eMTB Challenge has become a fixed highlight in the mountain bike community's calendar, thanks to its many stops. In 2026, the series enters its ninth season – and it's set to be even bigger and more international. With two new destinations, Les Arcs and Davos, Bosch eBike Systems is taking this popular series to the next level. Spectators and athletes can look forward to a real highlight at the Willingen stop: The German E-Enduro Championship will be held there as part of the eMTB Challenge.New in the event calendar: Two destinations in the Alps From Lake Garda, across the Alps, to British Columbia – no other eMountain bike competition series has lasted this long or visited as many international locations as the Bosch eMTB Challenge. This year, the race calendar features six stops in five countries – a new record. Two Alpine destinations complete the 2026 calendar: On 13 June, the series visits Les Arcs, and on 27 June, it heads to Davos for the very first time. The established stops in Riva (1 May), Willingen (30 May), Whistler (31 July) and Verbier (15 August) are returning as well. For more details, check out the Bosch eBike Systems website. Fun and competition for every riding level Like in previous years, the Bosch eMTB Challenge is aimed at riders of all skill levels. In the "Amateur" and "Advanced" categories, the main focus is on having fun and connecting with the community. All stages are ridden against the clock without prior training, and you'll need not just riding skills, but also a good sense of direction, stamina and clever battery management. For the transfer sections, successful navigation is key – as usual, you can use a GPX file on your smartphone, a compatible eBike display or a bike computer. In total, participants can look forward to about 35 kilometers and 1,000 meters of elevation gain at each event. The "Pro" category, introduced last year, is specially designed for professional athletes from eMTB racing and particularly ambitious riders. While amateur riders complete five stages and advanced riders take on six, Pro category participants will tackle an average of seven stages – including two that are especially technical. Season highlight: German E-Enduro Championship in Willingen A real highlight of the 2026 season: At the BIKE Festival Willingen on May 30, the Bosch eMTB Challenge will also host the first official German E-Enduro Championship. All Pro category participants with German citizenship and a valid UCI license are automatically entered. The race results will count for all participating pros toward the overall ranking of the Bosch eMTB Challenge, and for licensed riders with German citizenship, they'll also serve as the result for the German Championship. To boost competitive eMountain biking even further, the top three riders in the Pro category at each event will win prize money of 500 euros for first place, 250 euros for second, and 125 euros for third (with the same prize money available for the German Championship in Willingen). Plus, the top ten riders at each race earn points for the overall standings. For the overall victory in the Bosch eMTB Challenge Pro series, the prize is 3,000 euros, with 2,000 euros for second place and 1,000 euros for third.

Services for connected eBike mobility: Bosch presents the Connected Biking Platform

Stuttgart/Reutlingen – Modern eBike mobility is seamlessly integrated into people’s everyday digital lives. This gives rise to new opportunities for companies from the bike, mobility and service world: the development of attractive digital offers for their customers, optimised processes and innovative business models. With the Connected Biking Platform, Bosch eBike Systems now offers a digital basis for the development of new eBike services and provides with standardised interfaces and expertise. Our Connected Biking Platform is becoming a central component of the digital ecosystem around the eBike. We are creating opportunities for industry players to develop their own digital offerings. The first partners are already connected and are shaping connected eBike mobility together with us....Claus Fleischer, CEO of Bosch eBike Systems From connectivity to new possibilities The connected eBike is at the centre of the new platform. The system continuously records important information such as status, configuration, use and service data via the Bosch ConnectModule. This creates a level of knowledge about the entire life cycle of the eBike, from delivery to operation and remarketing. For secure integration, Bosch eBike Systems provides a modular toolbox of standardised interfaces and digital modules. For example, partners can use this information for their own applications via Cloud APIs for the ConnectModule and the eBike Flow app. Added value for the bike industry: development, service and new offers These insights into the complete life cycle of an eBike open up new ways for the entire bike industry to simplify processes and continuously enhance the riding experience for end customers. New models can be specifically adapted to real use profiles, maintenance and support are strengthened with efficient service, and app providers can develop innovative digital offerings. eBike manufacturers receive valuable insights into the actual use of their connected models based on the comprehensive information base. Knowledge about stock levels, functions used or the system status helps in developing future models and equipment in a more targeted manner. Operational processes can also be simplified: test fleets can be managed efficiently and transport to retailers can be secured with the tracking option. In addition, eBike manufacturers can develop their own apps or subscription services and place their own branded content directly in the eBike Flow app via “Content Cards”. Specialist dealers benefit from the option of being able to organise their own rental or test fleets even better on this basis. The overview of the location and availability of each eBike makes management much more efficient and also increases theft protection. App and service providers can connect their services to the eBike Flow app via the Connected Biking Platform and therefore reach a large, active eBike community. Once integrated, the interface enables seamless exchange between the two platforms. This creates a consistent experience for shared users and a valuable basis for the further development of our own services. Partners such as komoot are already connected here. New potential for fleet operators, leasing providers and insurance companies The Connected Biking Platform also opens up new options for professional mobility service providers: fleet operators can manage their eBikes more efficiently and minimise breakdowns, leasing providers can transparently track the value retention of their models, and insurance companies can minimise damage risks. The result is more reliable sharing services, transparent leasing conditions and comprehensible insurance rates. Fleet operators receive real-time information on the location, state of charge and use of each individual eBike. In the event of theft, the eBike can be located and the motor support disabled. Partners such as Papin and Tilia already have these options: for example, they can plan and control use, service and charging processes centrally. This enables proactive maintenance, reduces downtime and simplifies operation across many wheels. The fleet therefore remains reliably available. Mobility platforms can offer a complete solution with dashboards and booking apps for fleet and rental management with a clear competitive advantage. The advantage is a single, standardised interface for all eBikes with the smart system from Bosch. Partners such as allride (AMAG Group), Connected Cycle , Friiway , Joyride , OKGO and Velo de Ville are already using the Connected Biking Platform to help fleet and hire providers manage their eBikes or support dealers in selling eBikes through subscription models – without them having to invest in their own solutions. Leasing providers can transparently track the condition and service history of each eBike over the entire contract term. This ensures value retention, facilitates the technical appraisal during return and makes the evaluation of returns faster and more objective – the ideal basis for profitable remarketing. Leasing partners can also offer additional digital services by integrating them into the eBike Flow app. This creates a seamless experience for customers: they benefit from digital theft protection and can view their contract data directly in the eBike Flow app. Leasing providers are therefore given the opportunity to optimise customer lifecycle management and initiate follow-up leasing. Insurance companies benefit from alarm and GPS tracking functions that can help prevent theft and recover stolen bikes more quickly. A digital theft report also bundles all relevant data on the eBike and the incident. This enables significantly faster, partially automated claims processing and helps to calculate risks or rates accurately in future, based on real information. The Connected Biking Platform as the digital backbone of the eBike industry A reliable and secure technical basis is needed so that the variety of digital services for eBikers in the sector can continue to grow. The protection of personal data and information security are also a top priority for Bosch eBike Systems when working with its partners and are an integral part of the company’s principles. Modern encryption technologies and a system architecture are used to ensure that each eBike is individually protected. In addition, all data processed by Bosch eBike Systems is stored on European servers in accordance with strict European data protection law. Over-the-air updates also make it possible to keep security up to date at all times. The protection and conscious control of personal data by the user are at the centre of this. With the Connected Biking Platform, Bosch eBike Systems is creating a digital backbone that sets new standards. This offers partners countless options for shaping digital mobility. The Connected Biking Platform forms the basis for an ecosystem that grows with you. It is already providing compelling offers from the first partners, and simultaneously forming the foundation for tomorrow. “With the extensive components of our Connected Biking Platform, we are creating a real win-win situation: customers and partners can implement ideas easily, quickly and reliably, and therefore create a wide range of digital offers from which the constantly growing community of eBikers can benefit. The future of eBiking is happening now,” says Gregor Dasbach, Head of Digital Business at Bosch eBike Systems. Further information on the possibilities of the Connected Biking Platform can be found here.

CES 2026: Bosch eBike Systems extends its digital theft protection for eBikes

Your eBike has been stolen. What remains is a mix of anger, frustration, and a financial loss. For thieves, however, this is a profitable business, depending on their ability to resell eBikes undetected. This is precisely where Bosch eBike Systems steps in. At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, it is presenting a solution that adds another layer of digital theft protection to its smart system. In the future, stolen eBikes and batteries can be marked as stolen in the eBike Flow app. This feature is available free of charge in the eBike Flow app from the end of January 2026.If an eBike or a battery is marked as stolen, it can be identified as such throughout the entire digital ecosystem of Bosch eBike Systems. This makes reselling the eBike difficult and increases the chances of the owner getting the eBike back. Buyers of used eBikes, dealers and public authorities are sent a warning when they attempt to connect to the eBike via the eBike Flow app. This includes the serial numbers of the components that are marked as stolen. In addition, the connection with the eBike Flow app is permanently blocked. It is no longer possible for the eBike to receive over-the-air updates or for custom riding modes to be selected. Dealers also receive a warning in the DiagnosticTool, the diagnostic software from Bosch eBike Systems, when they connect the eBike for servicing. Centralized storage, system-wide impact This is made possible by the digital allocation principle used by the smart system. All the components of an eBike – the motor, the battery, and the display – have a unique registration in the system and are linked to a specific user profile. If the user marks their eBike or battery as stolen, this information is stored centrally and can be accessed from anywhere in the digital ecosystem of Bosch eBike Systems. The eBike Flow app, the DiagnosticTool, and Bosch eBike Support all use the same data. The digital marking can only be removed via the registered user profile. This function is a valuable addition to the theft protection portfolio of Bosch eBike Systems. The first theft protection functions were introduced in 2018 and the portfolio, which includes eBike Lock , eBike Alarm , and Battery Lock , now offers an additional layer of protection. This makes stealing eBikes an even less attractive proposition and represents a further step toward the Bosch mission of preventing all thefts of eBikes with the help of its smart system. Extended control functions for commercial users In addition to its theft protection solutions for private use, Bosch eBike Systems is also expanding its range for commercial users. This is because eBike sharing providers, rental firms, and company fleets need active control options, for example if eBikes are not returned. The Bosch ConnectModule from Bosch eBike Systems allows motor support to be deactivated remotely. Commercial users also have direct access to operating data via a cloud interface, including battery level, range forecast, service intervals, maintenance requirements, GPS position (if tracking is activated), and usage statistics. This can be integrated into existing fleet management systems and will play a key role in the growing market of professional eBike fleets. The extended control functions are available immediately to commercial users.

Even more riding comfort: Bosch expands eShift portfolio

Stuttgart/Reutlingen – From relaxed eBiking in the city to sporty tours on an eMountain bike: With the eShift electric gear shifting solution, Bosch eBike Systems integrates gears from various manufacturers into the smart system. Whether for manual or automatic gear shifting: This makes the eBike riding experience noticeably more comfortable. Now the portfolio is being expanded even further together with Shimano, TRP and Classified. The advantages of eShift are obvious: automatic gear shifting at the optimum time, more riding fun, less wear and tear and above all - a clear head for the flow. eShift is the solution for efficient and simple gear change - and will become increasingly popular in the future. With new functions and additional gears, we are expanding our existing portfolio and now offer eBike riders even greater convenience when choosing their eBike - from eUrban and Trekking eBikes to eMTBs,...Claus Fleischer, CEO of Bosch eBike Systems Automatic gear shifting: More compatible Drive Units and optimised software Bosch eBike Systems is now making the eShift automatic function available for almost all Drive Units in the smart system. 1 This means that eShift can be integrated into almost all eBike categories - and can therefore be experienced by even more people. The software of the automatic function has also been further optimised for a better riding experience. eShift reacts more directly to inclines, changes gears more quickly according to the riding dynamics and shifts more dynamically - adapted to the surface on which you are riding. New in the eShift portfolio: performance derailleur systems from Shimano and TRP Sporty eMountain bike riders who rely on Shimano derailleur systems can now benefit from more efficient and even automatic gear shifting operations with eShift. Bosch eBike Systems connects the popular XTR Di2, Shimano DEORE XT Di2 and Shimano DEORE Di2 gear shifting to the smart system. eShift supports both manual and semi-automatic or automatic gear shifting in conjunction with the shifting system. eBike riders can choose between ‘shift yourself’ and ‘let it shift’ and change gears flexibly at the touch of a button, depending on the riding situation. The eBike display or ride screen shows which variant is currently active: ‘M’ for manual gear shifting, ‘M+’ for semi-automatic gear shifting and ‘A’ for automatic gear shifting. In addition to the established TRP E.A.S.I., there is also the TRP E.A.S.I. A12 now offers a larger selection for further applications: The TRP E.A.S.I. A11. and the TRP E.A.S.I. A10. expands the eShift portfolio for eBike riders who enjoy trekking or gravel tours. The 11-speed and 10-speed drivetrains deliver precise gear shifting and also allow easy gear shifting between automatic, semi-automatic and manual gear shifting. eBike riders can change several gears at once at the touch of a button - even while rolling. Update: Automatic function for already compatible Shimano gears The automatic function comes as an over-the-air update: Bosch eBike Systems is expanding the range of functions for the Shimano NEXUS Di2 hub gear system and the Shimano CUES Di2 derailleur systems. Anyone using an eBike with a Shimano shifting connected to eShift will be able to have the automatic function installed via the eBike Flow App or via specialist dealers from autumn 2025. The shifting itself must also be updated via an over-the-air update using the Shimano app or via a specialist dealer. The range of functions of the Shimano NEXUS Di2 hub gear system has also been expanded: in future, users will be able to set an individual starting gear via the eBike Flow app. eShift recognises when the bike is stationary and automatically shifts to the defined starting gear. This popular function ensures a more relaxed riding experience in stop-and-go situations in city traffic, for example. New partner in the eShift portfolio: Classified Another partner has been added to the range of compatible solutions: eShift now supports the 2-speed Powershift hub gear systems from Classified for manual gear shifting. The system recognises the pedal position and changes gear at the optimum time. The display clearly shows the current gear and a shift recommendation. The solution will be available from autumn 2025. Ride smoothly in the right gear Bosch eBike Systems presented the first eShift solutions for electric gear shifting back in 2014 and has since developed them further together with various gear shifting partners. Depending on the shifting, an electric gear change offers two major advantages for eBike riders: The automatic shifting automatically adjusts the gear to a pre-set cadence. This means eBike riders always ride in the right gear ratio and the riding experience is much more relaxed and comfortable. When gear shifting manually, eShift ensures optimum gear shifting at the ideal time. The motor support is cancelled for fractions of a second. The gear changes are rendered smooth and silent. A positive side effect: material wear on the Drive Unit is reduced. 1 The Drive Unit Performance Line Speed (BDU378Y) is not included

More flow for the city – and beyond

Stuttgart/Reutlingen – Bosch eBike Systems is expanding its smart system with three new drive units for urban use. The Cargo Line, Performance Line Speed and Performance Line make eBiking even more comfortable and flexible in everyday life. Highlight: The Cargo Line and Performance Line Speed have received higher performance values (torque, power and support factor), which eBikers can adjust according to their needs in the eBike Flow app. With even more support, the new systems are quieter and lighter than ever before, yet reliable and efficient in the familiar Bosch quality. The Performance Line SX from the smart system is also even more powerful. The new product package is complemented by the new PowerTube 540 battery and other features in the eBike Flow app.Maximum support for Cargo eBikes: the new Cargo Line Bringing the kids to nursery in the morning, quickly taking parcels to the post office and then doing the weekly shop - with the new Cargo Line even heavy loads can be easily transported during daily life. This popular drive unit now delivers even more power: with up to 100 Newton metres of torque (previously up to 85) and 750 watts of maximum power (previously 600), eBikers can transport their children or shopping, even up steep climbs, with greater ease. They decide for themselves whether or not they want to set the new performance values in the eBike Flow app (under "Custom riding modes"). 1 Higher performance values also mean greater wear and a shorter range - Bosch eBike Systems leaves this decision up to eBikers. The tried-and-tested Cargo mode provides support of up to 400 percent - automatically and precisely when it’s needed. The walk assistance and hill start assist, both featuring Hill Hold, also make handling easier. The new Cargo Line is not only more powerful, but also more lightweight and quieter. It now weighs only 2.8 kilograms, which is approximately 100 grams lighter than its predecessor. The optimised gearbox reduces riding noise and pedal resistance to a minimum. At the same time, the improved sensor technology ensures smooth acceleration and precise handling – regardless of the load on the Cargo e-Bike. The sensitive response to the rider’s pedal input enables greater control and an even more intuitive riding experience. Get there faster – with the new Performance Line Speed Anyone travelling long distances by eBike every day will find a reliable partner in the new Performance Line Speed . With maximum support of up to 400 percent up to 45 km/h, 100 Newton metres of torque and 750 watts of maximum power, the drive unit for S-pedelecs is the ideal system for commuters who want to ride at higher speeds and get there faster. As with the Cargo Line, the performance parameters can now be adjusted via the eBike Flow app. 2 The advantages: eBikers can accelerate faster at traffic lights, for example, and receive maximum support on steep climbs. Thanks to the improved software, the Performance Line Speed now responds even more precisely to pedal input. eBikers also benefit from the significantly reduced pedal resistance, meaning that they have greater rider power and reach their destination quickly and efficiently. The Performance Line Speed is also approximately 100 grams lighter than its predecessor and impresses with its quiet riding noise. It offers great reliability thanks to its sturdy design – even when subjected to heavy use. The housing is robust as well as dust and splash water protected thanks to the sealing concept employed. The Limit Mode limits the power of the S-pedelec to a maximum speed of 25 km/h on request, bringing it up to the level of a conventional eBike – practical for anyone who wants to go on relaxed tours at the weekend or deliberately avoid travelling faster in the city. 3 Reliable all-rounder: the new Performance Line Comfortable and reliable eBiking in everyday life and on excursions – that's the new Performance Line from Bosch. This versatile all-rounder offers up to 340 percent support, 75 Newton metres of torque and 600 watts of power. Weighing only 2.8 kilograms, the new drive unit is approximately 400 grams lighter than its predecessor. It supports eBikers with an powerful and even boost when starting off and ensures a particularly comfortable and natural riding experience. More powerful Performance Line SX The Performance Line SX has new maximum values: 60 Newton metres of torque (previously 55), 600 watts of power and 400 percent support (previously 340). Here, eBikers can decide for themselves whether they want to retain the default values or if they prefer to customise them to meet their individual needs in the eBike Flow app. The performance upgrade will be available to riders of the Performance Line SX via an update in the eBike Flow app in autumn 2025. 4 The eMTB+ mode, introduced in spring 2025, will also be available for Performance Line SX as a free update. It provides more support than the existing eMTB mode and offers maximum dynamics and control. More range for every day: the new PowerTube 540 The new PowerTube 540 battery is available now. Compared to the PowerTube 500 battery, the new battery now offers 540 watt hours of energy at the same weight – more range for daily commutes in the city or a relaxed weekend tour. The integrated battery meets high safety standards and can be combined with the PowerMore 250 range extender if required, providing almost 800 watt hours. New eBike Flow app features: share eBikes and "Battery Lock" Bosch eBike Systems adds two more functions to the smart system. The use of an eBike by several people is now even easier: In future, eBikers can invite up to five friends or family members to use their eBike via the eBike Flow app. Each invited user can create and save a personal profile on their own smartphone. To use the new function, only the person making the invitation needs a Flow+ subscription. Another new feature, the “Battery Lock” function, will be available from summer 2025. This additional digital theft protection for the battery ensures that the eBike battery can no longer be used if it is stolen – and is therefore worthless to thieves. As soon as the function is active, the battery locks automatically when the eBike is switched off. If a locked battery is stolen and inserted into another eBike with a smart system, it automatically disables the motor support. This also makes reselling the battery pointless, which reduces the risk of theft. 1 Delivered ex works: 85 Newton metres, 600 watts, 340 percent support. eBikers can adjust the performance values of the drive unit via the eBike Flow app. Note: Higher performance values can have a negative effect on range and wear. The eBike manufacturer can therefore limit the maximum performance values by means of a factory setting. In the eBike Flow app, only the maximum values specified by the manufacturer can be set. 2 Delivered ex works: 100 Newton metres, 750 watts, 340 percent support. eBikers can adjust the performance values of the drive unit via the eBike Flow app. Note: Higher performance values can have a negative effect on range and wear.

Say goodbye to everyday life, start an adventure – with the Performance Line PX ...

Stuttgart/Reutlingen – Idyllic forest paths, sweeping river valleys or spectacular coastal routes – eBike rides offer countless adventures. With the Performance Line PX , Bosch eBike Systems is launching a premium system that has been specially developed for demanding bike rides, weekend trips and extended bike-packing rides. Whether on multi-day adventures with heavy luggage or on spontaneous discovery tours in nature: we have developed the Performance Line PX specifically for the needs of trekking riders. It was important to us that they receive powerful yet finely tuned support that adapts intuitively to their riding situation. With the robust and versatile system, eBikers can say goodbye to everyday life and discover new paths....Claus Fleischer, CEO at Bosch eBike Systems Feel the power – and adjust it to suit you With up to 90 Newton metres of torque, 700 watts of power and assistance of up to 400 percent, the Performance Line PX weighs approximately 2.9 kilograms and promises a powerful yet balanced riding experience. 1 The smart sensor technology responds precisely to pedal input and provides natural support for eTrekking riders on their tours. It also recognises start-up situations and gives them a powerful boost when required. Smart functions such as the familiar walk assistance or hill start assist make handling easier when starting uphill or on steeper terrain – an absolute bonus, especially when touring with heavy luggage. Another positive point: eBikers can customise the performance values of the Performance Line PX to their personal requirements in the eBike Flow app . 1 Higher performance values also mean higher wear and lower range – Bosch eBike Systems leaves this decision up to eBikers. For example, the maximum torque can be increased on tours with many inclines and heavy luggage. If you are riding on long flat stages, you can reduce the motor support and thus optimise your range. Naturally quiet – and comfortable Enjoy nature while the Performance Line PX lets eBikers explore new surroundings – thanks to the optimised gearbox concept, this is possible: the drive unit provides particularly quiet support and remains smooth even when cruising. As usual, eBikers receive support up to 25 km/h, above which the gearbox decouples the motor and the eBike can be pedalled with hardly any noticeable resistance. With Auto mode, adventurous riders can simply keep pedalling, even on ascents and into headwinds, as the riding mode automatically provides optimum support. This means you don't have to switch between riding modes and can simply enjoy the ride. Don't waste any thought on the gear shifting operation If you want even more comfort on your trekking ride, you should not miss out on the eShift electric gear shifting solution. With the automatic solution, the eBike with the Performance Line PX automatically shifts to the appropriate gear – according to the individually selected cadence. This allows eBikers to ride more evenly and focus fully on the route. A positive side effect: material wear on the system is also reduced. eShift with automatic shifting is already available with the shifting systems from enviolo and TRP. New: eShift is now also available with shifting systems from Shimano. Smart tour helpers: 3D map display, annual overview of ride data and optimised eBike ABS For an even better overview, the ride screen in the eBike Flow app now offers eBikers a 3D map display of the terrain and visualises the elevation graph of the immediate surroundings. This way, adventurous travellers always know what to expect on the next leg of their journey. Also new: In the statistics, eBikers can see an annual overview of the number of all rides, the distance travelled, the trip time and the elevation. These valuable statistics apply to all eBikes registered in the eBike Flow app. The two new functions require a Flow+ subscription. If you are travelling downhill with fully loaded panniers or the route leads over slippery gravel or wet forest paths, the Bosch eBike ABS in ABS Allroad mode is your reliable partner. Precise sensors in the Performance Line PX measure the inclination and speed of the eBike very accurately and ensure optimum brake support. This allows eBikers to brake more safely in the event of sudden obstacles and enjoy a smoother ride overall. The Performance Line PX is available in conjunction with Bosch eBike ABS with brakes from Magura, TRP and Shimano. Enjoy nature responsibly The Performance Line PX lets you experience maximum support on adventure tours, while also enjoying nature at the same time. To achieve this, Bosch eBike Systems has taken various measures to reduce its Product Carbon Footprint 2 . Firstly, around 40 percent recycled aluminum is used in the housing of the drive unit. This has enabled almost half of the CO₂ emissions from the housing to be cut 3 . Secondly, Bosch eBike Systems uses recycled plastic 4 for some components in the drive unit – thereby supporting the circular economy. 1 Delivery ex works: 85 Nm, 600 W, 340% support. eBikers can adjust the performance values of the drive unit via the eBike Flow app. Note: Higher performance values can have a negative effect on range and wear. This allows the eBike manufacturer to limit the maximum performance values by means of a factory setting.
