About Bosch eBike Connect

With the eBike Connect app, you can customise your eBike experience: connected, individual and interactive. Connect your Nyon or Kiox via Bluetooth with your smartphone and flexibly plan your routes, use the navigation via your display, track your activities or protect your eBike from theft with the premium function eBike Lock. The eBike Connect app offers you many helpful functions for your eBike with the Bosch eBike system 2.

Please note: This app can only be used for eBikes with Bosch drive units and Nyon or Kiox on-board computers with Bosch eBike system 2.

Route planning and navigation
Use the flexible route planning and navigation of eBike Connect. You can conveniently plan your rides and customise, import or share routes. If you synchronise with Komoot and Outdooractive, you can discover even more exciting routes. In addition, eBike Connect app suggests your routes that fit your preferences and mood (fast, scenic or eMountainbike). If you start your planned route in the app, it will be transmitted to your display or on-board computer.

Activities and fitness
From distance and duration to calories burned: view and evaluate all details of your eBike rides. Connect the eBike Connect app with Apple Health, Komoot or Strava and your activities are automatically synchronised. As an Apple Watch user, you can train even more effectively by tracking your heart rate while riding.

Help Center
Our Bosch eBike Help Center provides answers to your questions about your eBike. Here you will find FAQs, videos, and user manuals. To ensure that you always have access to the latest functions and improvements, we recommend that you update your Nyon or Kiox to the latest software version. You can find out how to update the software on your device here: https://www.bosch-ebike.com/en/help-center/ebike-connect

Settings
In the settings, you can customise your display screens or link eBike Connect with Komoot, Strava or Apple Health.

Premium functions for more security and personalisation
- With eBike Lock, you can park your eBike in a more relaxed way: The premium function offers additional protection against thieves. As soon as you disconnect the on-board computer, the eBike's drive unit no longer provides support, deterring thieves.
- With the premium function "Individual riding modes", you can personalise your Bosch eBike and set the drive unit’s support individually.
- Based on topographical conditions and the selected support level, the eBike Connect app calculates your remaining range.

Usability information: The premium function eBike Lock in conjunction with the Kiox or Nyon display is compatible with the following Bosch drive units from the Bosch eBike system 2: Bosch Active Line, Active Line Plus from model year 2018 onward, Performance Line, Performance Line Speed and Performance Line CX as well as the Cargo Line from model year 2020.

Last updated on Mar 27, 2024
Old Versions
New features:
Save activity as a route: From now on, you can save every completed activity as a route not only in the eBike Connect online portal, but also in the app. You have the option of saving the route with or without navigation instructions.

Oct 25, 2023
- Improved navigation: You have found a nice route and want to start navigating on Kiox immediately – no matter where you are? In the revised Saved Routes menu, you can now select whether you want to be navigated to the start or destination of the route or start the route directly from your current position. If you're still not sure what to choose, we've included a few hints in the appropriate places.

- All saved routes at a glance: From now on you can view all your saved routes in the eBike Connect app, without any restrictions. It doesn't matter whether the routes were saved in eBike Connect, komoot or Outdooractive: With the update you can see them all in your eBike Connect app. Simply drag the list from the bottom to the top to load more saved routes.
You can find your saved routes as usual in the map area under the symbol with the right turn arrow at the bottom right of the screen.

- A small improvement in the route planning menu now gives you more information about the active route profile without losing sight of the map view. You can still get more details by dragging the three dots at the bottom of the screen.

- From now on, only routes that are marked as Bike category in komoot will be imported into the eBike Connect app.

- The current eBike battery status is now regularly updated in the eBike Connect app so that you can always see the latest status.

- We have also corrected a few things: For example, we made sure that the correct values are being sent to the Apple Fitness app.
5.2.1
Aug 8, 2023
In this version we have, among other things, fixed a minor bug.
5.2.0
Aug 2, 2023
- Remember locations: You can now set markers for locations in the map view and include them in your route. You can access this function via the new bookmark icon in the map screen of the app at the bottom left. For example, park your car, bookmark the parking position and start your eBike ride - that way, you can navigate back to the car later. You can also use this icon to add your current location to your saved locations directly from the eBike Connect app.

- Extended activity details: You can now find more parameters in the detailed view of your activities (maximum heart rate, maximum cadence, maximum altitude).

- We have updated the battery widget for the lock screen. You can now display the battery status in two different layouts.

- We have made a number of minor bug fixes and improvements, for example, renaming your eBike is also possible in the app.

5.1.0
Apr 19, 2023
Adjusting a route created in the app at a later date is now possible. In the map area you will find many new options to edit the routes you have already created. Add new stopovers, change the order of the planned stops, turn the originally planned route into a round trip and much more. Ultimately, you decide whether you want to save your changes or create a new tour from them.

When you plan your next trip, it no longer has to be based solely on your current location: you decide where your next experience begins. Use the new function to enter the start address directly or tap on the map and select where the route should start from.

Sharing directly from the app now works for all eBike Connect or Outdooractive tours: simply select the desired Tour, export as GPX and use the share options of your smartphone.

With immediate effect, you can also transfer the heart rate recorded by the Apple Watch to eBike Connect. This will add more data to your ride statistics. This way you can track your fitness goals even better – and achieve them.

How does it work? After installing the latest update, the eBike Connect Watch app will automatically appear on your Apple Watch. Open it and follow the instructions there to sync your heart rate data from the Apple Watch to eBike Connect.

Nyon and Kiox users take note: the transmission of Apple Watch heart rate data with eBike Connect only works if there is an active connection between Nyon and the smartphone during the entire ride.

The map material has been updated for the portal and app (version October 2022).
5.0.1
Nov 10, 2022
In this version we have made sure that the newly introduced GPX import feature is working correctly for all GPX files.
5.0.0
Oct 26, 2022
Import your GPX files directly in the eBike Connect app: As with the online portal, you can now upload your self-created or shared routes directly in the smartphone app in the ‘Map’ section and follow them using Kiox or Nyon displays. You can even receive turn-by-turn navigation instructions.

We have also fixed some minor bugs and made some improvements - for example, we have improved the way the map is displayed in ‘Offline’ mode and also optimised the search function when you don't have an active internet connection.
4.9.0
Aug 3, 2022
Strava: Record your activity data and sync it with your community on Strava. Once you have linked your Strava account in the eBike Connect app, you can automagically synchronise all your newly recorded activities to your Strava profile. In addition to individual segments, also the daily summary can be automatically uploaded to Strava. Visit the eBike Connect app settings under "Settings" > "Connected apps" > "Strava" to set this up.

Similar to the implementation in the online portal, you can now reset the changes you've done using the custom riding modes premium feature, change your e-mail address and show your average power output in the activities summary.

Trying to connect your app to an incompatible Bosch eBike system? We made sure you'd get notified about that.
