The heart of the eBike
Drive units
The ideal drive for every situation
Seamless or powerful – most importantly natural. Drive units from Bosch eBike Systems give you a unique riding sensation. Three sensors measure the rider's pedal power, cadence and speed over 1,000 times per second. This facilitates an organic interplay between you and your eBike. The drive unit of the smart system, the new system generation of Bosch eBike Systems, ensures a unique eBike experience. The smart system combines sophisticated high-quality eBike components with digital functions, is fully connected and always up-to-date thanks to regular updates over-the-air.
