ConnectModule: more than just GPS – theft protection for your eBike

Park your eBike without having to worry about it. This is exactly why we developed the ConnectModule.¹
As a technology permanently installed on the eBike, it ensures that your eBike is always online and is digitally protected.

Your eBike remains vigilant, because the ConnectModule provides protection in the background – for your peace of mind while out and about.

Data at your fingertips

The eBike Flow app uses the data stored in your eBike pass to create a theft report with a live tracking link. You can then immediately forward this to the police or your insurance provider.

Worthless to thieves

If the ConnectModule is removed, the motor support will remain disabled and the battery locked. This makes the eBike worthless to thieves – a clear advantage over conventional GPS trackers.

Worry-free parking

Precise sensors in the ConnectModule recognize whether your eBike is only slightly touched or moved. With eBike Alarm, it responds to an attempted theft with alarm sounds and light signals to deter thieves.

Immediate information

If the ConnectModule detects an attempted theft, the eBike Flow app will send a notification to your smartphone and automatically start GPS tracking.

Find your eBike

If your eBike is stolen, the ConnectModule continuously records its location. In the eBike Flow app, you can see its position live on the map and quickly locate your eBike.

Precise tracking

The ConnectModule (BCM3101) uses Bluetooth® Low Energy in addition to GPS and sends a signal with a unique Bluetooth identifier (Bluetooth® ID).

Plan in comfort

The ConnectModule transmits the current charge level for your battery to the eBike Flow app. This way you can see when your eBike is ready and can prepare optimally for your next tour.

Built to last for many years

Your ConnectModule stays reliable and ready for use. This is because it has an integrated battery (BCM3101) which can be easily replaced by a dealer, if necessary.

The ConnectModule can be easily retrofitted, provided the manufacturer has prepared the eBike. It can now also be attached directly to the frame of the eBike. A sturdy mount with special screws ensures that everything is firmly attached and stays permanently in place.

Tim from Bonn: Simple facts, instead of flurried concerns

“When the news came, I was briefly unsure. Then I saw in the app that the eBike was no longer moving – that reassured me. When I arrived at the eBike, the lock had been clipped off. The alarm was presumably scared the thief off.”

Tom from Göttingen: Deterrence works

“Without the alarm, people probably wouldn't have noticed. It helped drive the thief away. The eBike was damaged, but it was still there. It was a great relief – better two weeks in the workshop than completely gone.”

Peter from Winterthur: Trip rescued

“The alarm went off in the middle of the night in Copenhagen – I didn't want to believe it at first. In the end, the eBike was still there. That saved our trip and I was really happy. The protection worked.”

What is the ConnectModule?

The ConnectModule from Bosch eBike is a GPS tracker permanently installed on the eBike for digital theft protection. On the inside, GPS, cellular, and motion sensors all work together. A fee-based Flow+ subscription is required for the ConnectModule to develop its full range of functions. The ConnectModule is the technical basis – and Flow+ makes it work within the eBike Flow app . This gives you full digital theft protection that actively secures your eBike and helps you find it again in the event of theft.

How does the ConnectModule protect my eBike against theft?

The ConnectModule detects whether your eBike is being moved without authorization. In the event of an attempted theft, it reacts immediately with alarm sounds and light signals, informs you of the event via the eBike Flow app and automatically starts GPS tracking. You can track the location of your eBike live in the eBike Flow app. The ConnectModule (BCM3101) uses Bluetooth® Low Energy in addition to GPS and sends a signal with a unique Bluetooth identifier (Bluetooth® ID). The closer you are to your eBike, the stronger the signal – so you can locate it to within a few yards using the tracker app.

What distinguishes the ConnectModule from conventional GPS trackers?

The ConnectModule is deeply integrated into the smart system and provides additional protection: If the ConnectModule is removed, the motor support remains deactivated and the battery is locked.
The ConnectModule (BCM3101) can locate your eBike even more precisely, thanks to a combination of GPS and Bluetooth® Low Energy. This means you can even find your eBike in basements or backyards.

A paid Flow+ subscription is required in order to use all features. If you already have the ConnectModule, you can try Flow+ for free for 12 months. The subscription is then automatically renewed unless you cancel it.
