Bosch - the smart system for e-bikes

At the start into the networked e-bike world, Bosch is equipping the top drive unit Performance line CX for the future. The well-known motor with a new connectivity is accompanied by Bosch's brand-new PowerTube 500 battery - for longer riding pleasure with a significantly increased range. Beside the new LED remote, and the new 4A charger, the new smart system also includes the new eBike Flow app, which now is the center for customizing your e-bike! Thanks to the network, you can easily retrofit new functions or install updates "over-the-air". Of course, you can also track your activities and customize the riding modes. The retrofittable "ConnectModule" is intended to increase security, enabling new options for e-bike theft protection. For example, an acoustic alarm can be triggered in the event of an attempted theft, and the bike can also be tracked if it has been stolen. Further features are planned to promise more riding fun and safety with the smart system by Bosch.

What components does the Bosch smart system consist of?

Bosch Performance Line CX drive unit

Power on the hill
The maximum torque of 85 Nm has a noticeable effect on your riding behaviour when eMountain biking. The powerful motor enables rapid acceleration after tight turns and obstacles at a low cadence and facilitates starting up on the steepest of hills. For fast sprints, the motor also supports you at high cadence.

Intuitive handling
A mode for more focus: Specially designed for sporty use, eMTB mode offers you optimum control and intuitive handling, as you need to switch less between the different riding modes. With this clever function of the eMTB mode, technical sections can be mastered with confidence and obstacles such as root systems and rock gardens can be overcome by applying targeted pedal pressure with the Extended Boost. The Performance Line CX drive unit thus ensures even more riding enjoyment and a flow experience that sets the standard.

Maximum agility
The multi-sensor concept allows for controlled and agile riding, even on technically demanding trails. Combined with the innovative Bosch motor control, it offers the very best in dynamics and the highest level of sensitivity.

Sporty and economical
Sporty riding on a trekking bike or eMTB: The Tour+ mode of the Bosch Performance Line CX always focuses on riding enjoyment. It eliminates the need to switch between support modes, so you can focus entirely on the eBiking. Tour+ mode requires you to pedal harder on flat tracks than Tour mode - thus saving power and extending your boundaries for even more riding enjoyment!
Whether off-road or on asphalt, Tour+ mode is always the perfect choice. That's because it constantly adapts to you. Sensors on the motor measure important riding data more than 1,000 times per second, enabling Tour+ mode to determine optimum support for you. It delivers the additional power so sensitively that you not only experience a natural riding sensation, but also enjoy a longer range by applying more power.

A personal riding experience
To ensure that the eBike’s handling characteristics suit your riding style or the selected route, the available riding modes can be customised using the eBike Flow app. The level of the support, dynamics, maximum speed and maximum torque of the drive can thus be flexibly adjusted to your personal needs and preferences. Intensive training or extended eBike ride — the riding modes always offer you the right support and enable even more riding enjoyment.

Bosch LED remote

Optimal readability
For less distraction and more safety. All important information can be captured quickly and easily thanks to the LED remote. The LEDs are also highly visible in sunlight, and the brightness of the display adapts flexibly to the ambient light: This means that readability is maintained even in changing light conditions and you are never dazzled. You can also quickly recognise the selected riding mode by the respective colour.

Smart connectivity
Greater flexibility, comfort, and safety: The LED remote connects the eBike with the eBike Flow app. This enables you to call up all important riding data, such as the duration of your ride or the distance covered, using your smartphone and to share this with other users.

Smart Walk Assist
Even on the steepest of trails, when riding is no longer an option, you can push your eBike more easily with the help of Walk Assist: Simply press the minus button, move the eBike and you will already feel the support. The LED remote also acts as your guide, making handling easier for you. Walk Assist is especially helpful when eMountain biking in challenging terrain.

Ergonomic handling
The LED remote can be individually adjusted to you and, in addition to an attractive design, boasts optimal ergonomics and intuitive operation. Thanks to the ergonomic 'L' design, the LED remote can be attached to the handlebar so that you can reach and operate all buttons perfectly with your thumb.

Sustainably on the move
Reach your destination safer and more sustainably: The long-life rechargeable battery of the LED remote means that you can rely on the control centre on every single eBike ride.
