Bosch eBike Systems
What is an eBike system?
The electric drive system of the eBike, the display with the matching control unit and the battery are components that make an eBike. They are supplemented by digital services and apps. In a system, all components communicate with each other and adjust to your particular riding situation. So you ride more efficiently, more comfortably and with more riding fun.

This way, your eBike always remains up to date and is continuously enhanced after purchase.
