Choose the appropriate riding mode
Dynamic on a trail, energy-saving on a tour, relaxed in the city or powerful for transport with an Cargo bike – choose the appropriate riding mode and the drive unit will provide you with optimum support. In the Bosch eBike system 2 you can create and set your own riding modes. In the smart system you tailor all riding modes to your personal preferences.
Riding modes for eBikes with the smart system
Always optimally supported: The riding modes for eBikes with Bosch drive are precisely adapted to the riding situation and the respective eBike type.
*In eMTB mode, the level of support varies between Tour and Turbo riding modes.
**In Tour+ mode, the level of support varies between Eco and Turbo riding modes.
All the available riding modes can be flexibly combined on eBikes with the smart system. Exceptions are the Cargo mode and the Race mode, as well as the Sprint mode. These are only available for eBikes with the Cargo Line drive unit or Performance Line CX Race Limited Edition or Performance Line SX and Performance Line Sprint (US/NZ). eBike dealers can activate up to four modes (in addition to Off mode) and thus adapt the eBike perfectly to individual eBike riders (unless modifications have been excluded by the bicycle manufacturer). Using the individual riding modes function in the eBike Flow app, the riding modes can be configured according to individual needs. The support, dynamics, maximum torque and maximum speed can be set within the specified limits.
Riding modes for eBikes with Bosch eBike system 2
The support from the eBike motor can be easily adjusted via the control unit/display with the help of the riding modes. All modes can be found here for optimum support in every situation.
*Progressive support for a natural riding sensation and optimal control in challenging terrain.
**The Tour+ riding mode is available for eBikes with the Performance Line CX drive unit with derailleur system (from model year 2020) and eMTB mode and replaces Tour mode.
Individual riding modes
The smart system
Decide for yourself with which support and dynamics as well as with which maximum torque and up to which maximum speed the eBike will take you forward. You can adapt all riding modes to your needs in the eBike Flow app. So you not only get the best possible support for your training, tour or commute to work, but also one that is precisely tailored to you.
It's not possible to customize your riding mode on speed eBikes.
