Active Line – the smart system
Made for the city
Off to work in the morning and to the restaurant in the evening: riding is fun with the Active Line. Super-quiet and providing smooth support, it is ideal for city routes.

Barely audible
Together with the Active Line Plus, the Active Line is the quietest drive unit Bosch eBike Systems offers. This makes both eBike drives ideal for relaxed rides without annoying background noise.
Sensitive support
With its sophisticated sensor and software concept, the Active Line responds sensitively to your riding behaviour and ensures smooth start-up. With up to 40 Newton metres of torque, it also supports you when you pedal faster. The Active Line drives you forward confidently in the city and enables you to handle your eBike more safely in every riding situation.
Relaxing Auto mode
Make your eBike ride even more pleasant with Auto mode. It controls the support automatically so you don't need to switch between riding modes or work yourself into a sweat. If there are headwinds or on uphill gradients, you can fully focus on the road ahead and enjoy your ride to the fullest.
Optionally with backpedal brake
If you opt for an eBike with hub gear system, you have the option of selecting a backpedal brake with the Active Line Plus. It gives you a safer feeling and increased comfort when braking because you can, for example, give hand signals and brake at the same time.
Robust and reliable
The single-stage gearbox of the Active Line is designed for extra durability and robustness, so you don't have to worry about the weather conditions or dirt. Use your eBike every day and enjoy many years of riding fun - that's what the Active Line was developed for.
Additional safety: 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. ABS Touring gives you the certainty of being able to brake in a controlled manner at all times.
Individual riding modes
You can fine-tune the riding modes of the smart system so that they offer you more support or enable longer range.
eBike Lock with the smart system
Activating the eBike Lock function via the eBike Flow app lets you use your smartphone as a digital key. Because motor support can only be activated with your smartphone and Bluetooth connection, your eBike holds no attraction for thieves. You can also set up your Kiox 300 or Kiox 500 as a key for your eBike.
Even better protected with eBike Alarm
The Flow+ eBike Alarm premium service protects your eBike even more effectively against theft. In interaction with eBike Lock, it expands the locking of the drive unit with a comprehensive alarm function. When you switch off your eBike, eBike Alarm activates automatically. In the event of attempted theft, eBike Alarm reacts with alarm signals. If the eBike is moved, tracking is started.
You can control all functions of the smart system via the eBike Flow app. It allows you to adapt the eBike to your needs, upgrade it and keep it up to date. You simply download new features and services. You can conveniently install updates via Bluetooth. This keeps your eBike up to date and continuously upgraded with new features. Want greater theft protection? With Flow+ you get access to the eBike Alarm premium service to give your eBike even better protection.
eBike AlarmLess reason to worry when you park your eBike: With Flow+ and ConnectModule you can use eBike Alarm. Alarm signals deter thieves. If things get serious, location tracking is activated.
