For a more carefree ride

The Bosch eBike ABS provides more safety, stability and comfort during braking.

Your eBike type

From eCity to eMTB: Bosch eBike ABS enables optimum braking for every eBike on any surface.

Invisible helper

The small, inconspicuous brake assistant fits elegantly into your eBike design.

Solid know-how

Bosch eBike ABS is based on the Bosch ABS technology used for cars and motorcycles.

Hydraulic disc brake

Hydraulic disc brakes from Magura, TRP or TEKTRO, including brake lever and sensor discs on front and rear wheel.

ABS control light

The control light indicates whether there is an ABS error (LED on) or the ABS is functional (LED off). At the start of each eBike ride, it also lights up briefly to indicate ABS functionality.

Wheel speed sensors

Speed sensors on the front and rear wheel continuously check the speed of the eBike wheels while riding.

Keeps your flow.

In the old days, many people only used the rear brake out of caution or fear. The new Bosch eBike ABS now lets you brake more safely and confidently with both brakes at the same time. It can prevent the front wheel from locking and thus help to avoid skidding. You remain safely in the saddle even during sudden heavy braking – whether you are on firm asphalt or slippery gravel paths. Because every eBike is different, there is no one-size-fits-all ABS. Instead, there's the right ABS for your eBike type, supporting your braking process in the best possible way.

Anti-lock braking function

Sensors measure wheel speed and regulate brake pressure – for efficient braking.

Different ABS modes

The ABS modes are matched to the eBike type: ABS Cargo, ABS Touring, ABS Allroad, ABS Trail.

Effective accident avoidance

If all eBikes were equipped with ABS, up to 29 percent of eBike accidents could be prevented each year.

Improve your braking behavior

Your display – the Kiox 500 or Kiox 300 – shows you your braking statistics.

Front wheel ABS

Wheel speed sensors monitor the speed of the wheels. If locking of the front wheel is anticipated during excessive braking, Bosch eBike ABS controls braking pressure and improves the riding stability and steerability of the eBike – this is particularly evident on slippery surfaces. Well-coordinated and sensitive braking behavior significantly increases control and stability.

Rear wheel lift control

In the event of extreme overbraking of the front wheel, the intelligent Bosch eBike ABS rear wheel lift control reduces the possibility of unwanted lifting of your rear wheel. The likelihood of being ejected over the handlebar is reduced. The front brake can be used more actively and efficiently.

Retrieving braking statistics

The Kiox 300 display can be used to retrieve information about your braking behavior. If the front brake is used, the braking distance and braking time are recorded and can be displayed; this gives you a sense of how a different surface can affect your braking distance – compare the braking distance on gravel or asphalt, for example. Analyze your braking and improve your braking performance.

Perfectly coordinated

ABS Cargo

The epitome of the new face of urban transport: Cargo bikes. At the same time, this type of eBike places enormous demands on the brake system. The Bosch eBike ABS provides faster, safer, and more accurate braking, even when fully loaded. This protects you, your load and other road users.

ABS Touring

Uneven road surfaces, zebra crossings and traffic lights are part and parcel of every trip.
Whether you're commuting to work, or taking some time out from the city traffic in nature at the weekend, you need brakes you can rely on. The ABS touring will allow you to brake safely and confidently.

ABS Allroad

You can ride safely even on more challenging terrain. For sporty off-road tours, ABS offers optimal brake support, delivering powerful yet natural hold on unpaved surfaces. Those who are new to eMTB riding can enjoy riding on gravel and loose surfaces.

ABS Trail

Ambitious trails, faster rides, better skills: ABS Trail is adapted to the expectations of sporty riders on demanding routes and challenging terrain. The new and revolutionary ABS from Bosch eBike Systems dispels prejudices, because it improves performance and increases riding enjoyment. You will be safely supported during challenging and sporty riding maneuvers. And if you want to take things easy on your eMTB bike, you can easily switch to ABS Allroad in the eBike Flow app or via your Kiox 300.

Because every eBike is different, there is no one-size-fits-all ABS. Instead, there's the right ABS for your eBike type, supporting your braking process in the best possible way.

How quickly does my eBike come to a stop?

Reducing the speed very quickly also reduces the stability and the rear wheel can lift. You can compensate for this with more of your own effort and your riding technique.

How quickly does the possible braking pressure adapt to the surfaces?

The surface influences the possible braking force, i.e. how hard you can brake your eBike. The ABS adapts the braking force to the surface and thus finds the optimum balance between deceleration and stability. The faster and shorter the adaptation of the braking force to the surface, the greater the importance of good riding technique.

How much effect does the rear wheel lift control have?

If the rear wheel lift control intervenes strongly, the rear wheel remains closer to the ground and the braking process is more stable, even when braking forcefully. In some sporty riding maneuvers, it may be desirable to let the rear wheel lift, for example to improve handling in hairpin bends.

How stable and true is the front wheel when braking?

If wheel stability is high, you will come to a stop safely without lurching and maintaining high directional stability of the eBike. If, on the other hand, wheel stability is low, e.g. with a sportier set-up, this also requires better riding technique and balance on the eBike.

How quickly and directly does the eBike decelerate?

If the brake responds directly and forcefully, the braking distance is shortened and you will come to a halt more quickly. If, on the other hand, it responds more gently, your braking distance will be somewhat longer – but also more stable, since the Bosch eBike ABS supports you better during spontaneous, reflexive braking.

How does the ABS work?

The eBike ABS from Bosch enables more efficient braking. Bike brakes have become stronger over the years (hydraulic disk brakes). The eBike ABS was developed to facilitate their performance, especially in critical (emergency) braking situations. Wheel speed sensors on both wheels detect when the brakes lock up, and the braking force is automatically adjusted using software and control. This reduces incidents of going over the handlebar on non-slip surfaces and falls on slippery surfaces.
