Bosch eBike Systems

Display – important information in view

The display and control unit allow you to view and select various items of information – for example, how fast you are going or approximately how many kilometers you can still ride with the current battery charge? In addition, it shows you which riding mode you have currently selected.

Battery – the energy source

The eBike draws the energy you need to power you everywhere from the eBike battery. It supplies the drive unit with power and has a critical influence on the range. That is why there are eBike batteries for different requirements as well as for different installation and mounting variants.

Drive unit – the motor of your eBike

The eBike motor, also referred to as the drive unit, gives you additional electrical support depending on your effort, speed and the selected riding mode. To provide the appropriate support, our drives are optimised for the various eBike types.

Apps & portal – digital extensions for your components

Apps and their digital features provide support before, during and after your ride and enhance your eBike experience. Whether for route planning or navigation, whether through range information, important training data or parking your eBike more safely, you can always be sure to get there and can enjoy your riding fun to the max.

What is an eBike system?

The electric drive of the eBike, the display with the matching control unit and the battery are components that make an eBike. They are supplemented by digital services and apps. In a system, all components communicate with each other and adjust to your particular riding situation. So you ride more efficiently, more comfortably and with more riding fun.

What Bosch eBike systems are available?

With Bosch eBike Systems, you can choose between two systems – find out what advantages they offer and which suits you best.

The smart system is the beginning of a new kind of digital eBike future. In the latest system generation of Bosch eBike Systems, all components are fully interconnected. The eBike Flow app is the hub – through it, you constantly get new features for your eBike. You can simply transfer updates for your components via Bluetooth. This way, your eBike always remains up to date and is continuously enhanced after purchase.

The Bosch eBike-system 2 was developed for limitless riding pleasure. The system includes a wide range of impressive components and functions – so everyone can find the right display, the right drive and the most suitable battery.

FAQs & more

For technical reasons, the Bosch eBike system is not available as a retrofit kit. A special frame is required to integrate the drive system in the bike. Bicycle manufacturers produce the frame specially for eBikes – epowered by Bosch. We work together with numerous renowned eBike manufacturers. You can find an overview here:
