Strong support
Transport your loads effortlessly to their destination. Whether you're tackling a steep hill or pedaling on the flat, 85 Nm of torque and a perfectly tuned transmission provide powerful yet natural support.
Ride with confidence
Navigate difficult riding conditions with ease. The multi-sensor concept and sophisticated software enable consistent acceleration and give you a smooth, safe riding sensation. The new Auto mode senses the riding conditions and automatically adjusts the level of support. With no need to switch riding modes, you can concentrate fully on the road ahead.
Robust Cargo mode
Specially designed for the Cargo Line, Cargo mode lets you get maximum support from your eBike, namely 400% of your own pedal power. In addition, Cargo mode optimizes start-up behavior. Despite the high level of support and torque, your Cargo bike starts smoothly and pleasantly. Prefer different dynamics or torque? Simply use the slide control in the eBike Flow app to adjust Cargo mode to suit.
ABS Cargo
Cargo bikes place huge demands on the brake system. The Bosch eBike ABS provides faster, safer, and more accurate braking, even when fully loaded. This protects you, your load and other road users.
Smart walk assist
When you need to get off and push, Cargo Line Walk Assist eases the burden. Press and hold the minus button to activate. As soon as you start to push your Cargo bike, motor support kicks in. At the same time, the integrated Hill Hold function stops your bike from rolling backwards or downhill. Safety is never an issue, even on the steepest of climbs and setting off on your bike again is effortless.
Easy handling
Save battery power and increase your range: When you cycle faster than 20 mph, the electric motor and gearbox automatically decouple. This results in minimal pedal resistance and exceptionally smooth handling. Cargo Line is also compatible with shorter pedal cranks. This means better ground clearance and an even safer ride.
Effective technology
Keep your eBike cool, no matter how hard it's working. When pushed to perform, or on hot days, the cooling fins of the Cargo Line keep the heat at bay. With no need to worry about the drive unit overheating, you can push yourself to the limit, even on long summer rides. Cargo Line's compact dimensions and magnesium housing reduce the weight of the drive unit to just 6.4 lbs. This makes your eBike even lighter and easier to handle.
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.
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.
