Walk assistance
With walk assistance, you can make steep climbs easier to manage when walking.
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. Its finely balanced acceleration and barely perceptible pedal resistance over 20 mph or in Off mode make every ride relaxing and leisurely – even in rush hour traffic.
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 behavior and ensures smooth start-up. With up to 40 newton meters 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.
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.
Ideal addition to the lock: eBike Lock is your free additional theft protection. Lock and unlock your eBike automatically using your phone or display as a key.
Turn your phone into an eBike display: you can use the ride screen with the SmartphoneGrip. It not only shows you all the important riding data, but also offers fully-fledged navigation with 3D map display.
Personalise your display: configure your Kiox 300 or Kiox 500 display according to your needs. Create new screens containing your favourite information. Choose from over 30 screen layout options and arrange them according to your wishes.
The eBike Flow app is the centrepiece of our smart system and gives you a better riding experience: safer, more customised and more convenient. Updates keep your eBike up to date and provide it with new functions.
Route planning, navigation and activity tracking on a new level. We work with the best partners and use AI technology. For your ultimate eBike experience – before, during and after the ride.
