You can still use the thumb controller to control the bell, light and drive unit on eBikes. Practical: When conditions are more challenging (e.g. on downhill stretches), you can easily remove your smartphone from the hub and stow it in your pocket.
For maximum smartphone operating time
COBI.Bike can charge your smartphone while you're on the move. In the version for conventional bicycles this is achieved by means of a powerful battery pack that can be charged using a USB plug. For bicycles with hub dynamos, there is an optional charging cable that further extends the battery life while you ride. In the version for eBikes the power for front light and charging comes directly from the eBike battery.
6 keys for intuitive control
The thumb controller can be mounted on either side and gives you control over all the functions of the COBI.Bike system at any time, so you can keep your hands where they belong at all times: On the handlebar. A separate bell button can be used to get attention when you need it most.
