Version 1.25

New features for the eBike Flow app

A man and a woman wearing cycling clothing and helmets are laughing together next to their eBikes in an autumn forest, looking at a smartphone.

We are starting the eBike year with some new features and improvements for the eBike Flow app: For the Rohloff E-14 eShift solution, you can now set the gear to be shifted down automatically when starting off – ideal for stops at traffic lights. For a seamless transfer of your planned routes, we have integrated "Live Sync" from komoot into the eBike Flow app. A new feature in the ride screen also provides an even better overview of your route.

eShift with Rohloff E-14

For the Rohloff E-14 eShift solution, you can now use the eBike Flow app to set the gear to automatically downshift when starting off – even when stationary at traffic lights, for example. You can find this function in the eBike Flow app settings under My eBike > eShift. In order to use eShift with Rohloff E-14, you must also carry out the firmware update from our partner Rohloff. This firmware update will be available in the next few weeks.

"Live Sync" from komoot with the eBike Flow app – ready to go with just one click

Together with our partner komoot, we have worked on making it even easier for you to start your route planned with komoot using the eBike Flow app. That's why we have integrated "Live Sync" from komoot into our eBike Flow app.

This is how it works: Once you have planned a route with komoot, simply click on the "Navigate with Bosch eBike Flow" button. You will then receive a push notification from the eBike Flow app, which you can use to start your route.

"Live Sync" is optimised for group rides. The organiser shares the route via komoot – and all participants receive a push notification from the eBike Flow app to start the route.

You also have the option of adapting your route on the go: open the route in komoot, add stopovers or re-plan it – and the new route is available in the eBike Flow app.

One more thing: in future you will find inspiration for your routes. In the planning view and under "My routes" you will see a banner with interesting routes in your neighbourhood.

This feature will be available in early February.

Your route at a glance on the ride screen

Get an overview of your route in the ride screen with just one click. With one button you can easily switch between two views: your current, centred position with the usual navigation and – something new – an overview of your route, which automatically zooms out with just one click.

Adjust the traction control to your riding style now – for more control on technical sections. You can switch the Drivetrain Tensioner on and off for each riding mode, and with Trick Check, recorded tricks remain visible for longer. The remaining charging time for your battery appears on your display while you are charging.

With this update, you can fine-tune your setup for noticeably more precise control on the trail. You manage Extended Boost in the eBike Flow app, while Drivetrain Tensioner transforms your power into propulsion. The eBike Assistant answers your questions, and eShift lets you skip multiple gears at once.

The trail becomes a challenge, the route an adventure. The new Trick Check function automatically recognises your tricks, shows them on your display and saves them in the eBike Flow app. You can now also see your heart rate data and save your favourite places as favourites. We are also expanding the eShift portfolio.
