eBike Flow: The Central Command for Your Bosch-Equipped Electric Bike

eBike Flow is a dedicated mobile application engineered exclusively for electric bicycles powered by the latest Bosch smart system. This platform functions as the digital nerve center for your e-bike, delivering real-time access to critical ride metrics, including distance traveled, remaining battery capacity, and upcoming maintenance schedules. Unlike generic cycling apps, eBike Flow is purpose-built to unlock the full potential of your Bosch drivetrain, transforming your smartphone into a high-precision cockpit for every journey.

Core System Functionality and Ride Management

The application serves as the primary interface for monitoring and controlling your e-bike’s performance. Upon connection, the dashboard displays a comprehensive set of live data points: current speed, average speed, trip distance, total odometer, battery state of charge in percentage and estimated range, and assist level. The system also tracks service intervals based on actual usage, proactively alerting you when components like the chain, brake pads, or drivetrain require inspection or replacement. This predictive maintenance feature helps prevent mechanical issues before they occur, extending the lifespan of your e-bike components.

• Live ride data dashboard – Speed, battery, distance, assist level
• Predictive maintenance alerts – Chain, brakes, drivetrain reminders
• Service history log – Track all component replacements and repairs

Navigation Optimized for Electric Bicycles

The integrated navigation module is specifically calibrated for e-bike travel. Unlike standard car or bicycle navigation systems, eBike Flow calculates routes that account for the unique characteristics of electric assist, including battery consumption, terrain elevation, and preferred road surfaces. The system offers three distinct routing profiles: "Balanced" for mixed terrain, "Eco" for maximum range optimization, and "Sport" for performance-oriented rides. Each route includes a detailed elevation profile with gradient percentages, allowing you to anticipate climbs and descents. Points of interest (POIs) such as charging stations, repair shops, and scenic viewpoints are automatically integrated into the navigation layer. The turn-by-turn directions are displayed both on the smartphone screen and, when paired with a compatible Bosch display, directly on the handlebar-mounted unit.

• E-bike specific routing – Battery-aware, terrain-optimized paths
• Elevation profile with gradients – Plan energy expenditure per climb
• POI integration – Charging stations, repair shops, viewpoints

Seamless Connectivity and Over-the-Air Updates

The application maintains a persistent Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connection to your e-bike’s smart system, enabling continuous data synchronization without draining your smartphone’s battery. This wireless link supports over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates for the bike’s drive unit, battery management system, and display. When a new update is available, the app notifies you and guides through the installation process, which typically takes 5–10 minutes. This ensures your e-bike always runs the latest software with optimized performance, bug fixes, and new features. The app also stores ride history in the cloud, allowing you to access past trips from any connected device.

• BLE 5.0 connection – Low power, constant sync
• OTA firmware updates – Drive unit, battery, display updates
• Cloud ride history – Access past trips from any device

Automatic Activity Tracking and Third-Party Integration

eBike Flow automatically records every ride without requiring manual start or stop commands. The activity log captures detailed metrics: distance, time, average speed, elevation gain, calories burned, and battery consumption per trip. Each ride is geotagged and can be replayed on a map with speed and elevation overlays. For fitness enthusiasts, the app offers direct synchronization with Apple Health, Google Fit, Strava, and Komoot. This integration allows your e-bike rides to count toward daily activity goals, step counts, and workout records. When syncing with Strava, the app automatically classifies rides as "E-Bike Ride" activities, maintaining proper categorization in your fitness profile.

• Auto ride recording – No manual start/stop needed
• Apple Health & Strava sync – Activity data flows automatically
• Komoot route import – Plan on web, ride on bike

Security and Theft Prevention Tools

The application includes a comprehensive security suite designed to protect your e-bike when parked. The "eBike Lock" feature digitally immobilizes the drive unit, preventing the motor from providing assistance even if the battery is installed. This acts as a software-based deterrent alongside physical locks. The "Alarm" function uses the bike’s built-in motion sensors to detect unauthorized movement. If triggered, the system sounds a loud audible alarm and sends a push notification to your smartphone. The alarm sensitivity can be adjusted from low (ignores minor bumps) to high (responds to any tilt or vibration). Additionally, the "Find My Bike" feature logs the last known GPS position, helping you locate your e-bike if misplaced or stolen.

• Digital motor immobilizer – Prevents unauthorized motor use
• Motion-activated alarm – Push alerts and audible siren
• GPS last position log – Locate parked bike remotely

Customizable Assist Modes and Power Management

eBike Flow provides granular control over the four standard assist modes: ECO, TOUR, SPORT, and TURBO. Each mode can be individually customized for power output and maximum assist speed. For example, you can reduce ECO mode to 30% power for maximum range extension, or increase TURBO mode to 340% power for aggressive hill climbing. The app also includes a "Smart Assist" mode that automatically adjusts power based on terrain, rider cadence, and battery level. The "Range Assistant" tool predicts remaining range based on current assist mode, terrain profile, and battery charge, allowing you to switch modes mid-ride to ensure you reach your destination.

• ECO/TOUR/SPORT/TURBO customization – Adjust power per mode
• Smart Assist auto-adaptation – Terrain and battery aware
• Range Assistant prediction – Real-time range estimates

In-App Help Center and Data Privacy

The integrated Help Center provides searchable documentation covering all app features, hardware components (drive units, batteries, displays), and connectivity troubleshooting. Each article includes step-by-step instructions with screenshots. For unresolved issues, the app offers direct contact options with Bosch customer support, including live chat and email ticketing. Regarding data handling, eBike Flow processes all personal information in strict compliance with GDPR and local privacy regulations. Ride data is encrypted during transmission and storage. Users have full control over data sharing preferences, including the ability to delete all stored ride history at any time.

• Searchable help articles – Feature and hardware guides
• Direct support contact – Live chat and email ticketing
• GDPR-compliant data handling – Encrypted, user-controlled

Compatibility and System Requirements

This application is designed exclusively for e-bikes equipped with the Bosch smart system, including models from brands such as Cannondale, Cube, Haibike, Riese & Müller, and Trek. It requires a smartphone running iOS 15.0+ or Android 9.0+ with Bluetooth 4.2 or higher. The app is not compatible with older Bosch systems (Performance Line CX Active Line prior to 2022) or non-Bosch e-bike systems. For optimal performance, ensure your e-bike’s smart system firmware is updated to the latest version via the app.
