Always at hand: the digital eBike pass: With the eBike pass you receive an overview of important information about your eBike. Data about your eBike, such as the model and installed components, is stored here. You can also add further details manually, for example your eBike's frame number, documents and special features.
This not only helps your specialist dealer with questions about your eBike, but also comes in handy if it is stolen or you sell it because all the relevant information is immediately to hand.
You can find the eBike pass in the settings of your eBike Flow app under “My eBike”. Here, you can also store the most important information and documents.
Tip: Take a photo of your eBike right now and save the image in the eBike pass.
Rapid assistance with the theft report: Time is ticking away. If someone steals your eBike, you need to act quickly and report it to the police. With the theft report, you can respond immediately. That way, you increase your chances of getting your eBike back.
In the event of theft, a document can be automatically produced with all important information about the incident and details of the eBike. This theft report uses the data entered from the eBike pass function. With eBike Alarm, you can also add the most recent location or a live tracking link.
You can report your eBike as stolen in the settings of the eBike Flow app under “My eBike". Enter the time and location and describe the incident. To make it easier to reach you, fill in your details with your name and phone number. The theft report automatically adopts further information from the eBike pass. It's therefore best to fill it out right away.
Further improvements: To access your eBike's settings even faster, you can now tap on the eBike image or your name on the home screen.

Flexible navigation as you ride: quick menu in the ride screen
Would you welcome the flexibility to change your navigation destination while riding without having to stop? The new Quick Menu in the Ride screen makes this possible. You can customise destinations by starting navigation to one of your most recent destinations. You can also stop your currently active navigation. To do this, hold down the selection button of the LED Remote, Mini Remote or Purion 200 for longer than one second without removing your smartphone from the mount.
But be careful: keep your hands on the handlebar. After all, this feature was developed for your safety. Change destination, maintain an overview, ride safely.
From A via B to C - adding stopovers
A refreshing stopover by a lake, followed by a detour to a beer garden - sounds like the perfect day, doesn't it? The advanced route planning of the eBike Flow app lets you incorporate such moments into your rides more effectively. Design your route exactly the way you want it and incorporate individual stopovers with ease. The choice is yours: set your stopover directly on the map by pressing and holding or using the "Add destination" option. Our navigation system reliably guides you through your route - to every stopover, every new discovery and every highlight along the way to your final destination.
Up high: displaying the elevation profile directly during your ride
Conquer new heights and master every challenge. The elevation profile on your Ride screen now shows you during the ride what you have already achieved and what still lies ahead of you. The graph shows differences in altitude over the course of your ride. This means you know immediately which climbs and recovery phases still await you. Ideal if you want to keep an eye on your performance - completely in the flow.
Now fully integrated: eShift with enviolo
Automatic gear shifting is now possible with enviolo. Set your desired cadence directly in the Quick Menu on the Ride screen. The continuously variable shifting system with eShift responds fully automatically. This ensures you always ride in the right gear with an even cadence. You can now add eShift as a component to the eBike Flow app.
Keeping a close eye on your pulse: Heart rate from Apple Watch on Kiox 300 or Kiox 500
You can now keep an eye on your heart rate without having to constantly check your Apple Watch. The Apple Watch measures your heart rate and the Kiox 300 or Kiox 500 displays it. To do this, create a new screen with the display configuration in the eBike Flow app before your ride. This requires you to connect your Apple Watch in the eBike Flow app settings under "Connected services". You can track your heart rate directly on the handlebar and optimise your training without looking at your wrist.

As varied as your routine eBike life - customised display
Whether you're on the way to work, on windy trail rides or exploring new routes: every moment on the eBike is unique. This deserves an equally unique display. The Kiox 300 or Kiox 500 lets you decide what you want to see. You can customise existing screens directly in the app - from the ride data displayed to the sequence of information. But why not take things even further? With more than 30 items of information available and customisable ads, you can create your own personal display. Choose between layouts with one, two or three tiles and set everything up according to your preferences. This ensures you always have an overview of what is important to you.
Taking security to the next level
You may already be familiar with our eBike Lock function, which turns your smartphone into a digital key. We take things one step further: This update gives you another "key option" for securing and unlocking your eBike - the Kiox 300 or Kiox 500. This feature is the intuitive way to protect your eBike. How does that work? It's as intuitive as it sounds: simply remove the display from the mount and stow it safely. Motor support is now deactivated and your eBike is protected against theft.
Want to saddle up for your next ride? Reinstall the display and use it to activate motor support. Intuitive handling, simple security.
Share the riding fun, not your smartphone - Kiox 300 and Kiox 500 as the key
Love spending time on your eBike and want to share the enjoyment with family or friends? This is now much easier. You can set up multiple displays as keys for an eBike without having to hand over your smartphone. This option is available with the Kiox 300 or Kiox 500. It makes it easier for others to use and ride your eBike. You can find this function in the eBike Flow app settings under My eBike > Lock & Alarm.
Full control using smartphone unlocking - twice the security
We don't want to compromise on theft protection - even if your mind is somewhere else during your coffee break. The new update adds an extra layer of security to close this gap.
As you relax in your favourite café with your eBike parked outside, you can use the "Hold to unlock" button in the eBike Flow app to make sure that no one unlocks your eBike unintentionally. Simply deactivate the "Automatic unlock" function in the settings and your eBike will remain locked.
When you are ready to continue your journey, simply press and hold down the "Hold to unlock" button to manually unlock your eBike. A short beep confirms unlocking. This is how we combine comfort and safety - just as you expect from your eBike experience.

Connect and protect – with Flow+:
We cordially invite you to Flow+! The new digital home for premium services and features – for all eBikes with the smart system from Bosch. Flow+ is available as a practical subscription via your eBike Flow app.
The first premium service from Flow+, it protects your eBike and saves your nerves. Because eBikes are also popular with thieves. Make it hard for thieves and easy for you: Get Flow+ and activate eBike Alarm. This automatically activates an alarm function every time you switch off your eBike. No matter whether you park it for a short time or are away for a longer period – you can stay connected to your eBike via your smartphone and know where it is.
Please note: You can use eBike Alarm free of charge for the first twelve months after activation in the eBike Flow+ app. After that, your Flow+ subscription will renew automatically for the duration of the selected payment interval (monthly or annually).
The technical requirement for the additional digital theft protection is the ConnectModule. Simply ask your trusted dealer whether your eBike is compatible with the smart system from Bosch with the ConnectModule.
So personal, so helpful – your customised Help Center:
The Help Center knows you and your eBike – and therefore only displays the content that is suitable for you and your eBike. Thanks to new texts, more pictures and numerous videos, you can now find the information you need or the solution you require more quickly and in a more targeted way.
As unique as you are – your eBike in the detail view:
Your eBike is more than just pedals, battery and handlebars: The eBike Flow app now synchronises additional details of your eBike. Find out which brake or cassette is installed in your eBike – directly in the app settings. For example, you can precisely assess the performance of your eBike or prepare for upcoming maintenance or upgrades. Many bike brands already use this feature and more will in the future too.
Further improvements
You can now load routes that you have created yourself or received as GPX files into the eBike Flow app.

With it, you can easily export your fitness data to analyse it in detail, use it in your videos or share it.
Good things come to those who sweat: We have added an important statistic to your fitness data: calories. After each ride, you can see the calories you've burned in your activity details.
The final touch: You want a better overview of your planned routes? That's what our latest update brings you. If you retrospectively modify a route that you have already created, you can now save it under a different name.
Komoot in Flow: Your Komoot data is now automatically and thus even more quickly synchronised with the eBike Flow app. Of course, you can also continue to import the routes you have created manually.
Note: To use the eBike Flow app, you need at least iOS 15.

2023-03-28
Eyes straight ahead: When riding your eBike, you should concentrate on the road. That's why we've added a new feature to the navigation that makes this easier: From now on, turn-by-turn directions can be given by voice or as short tones. Simply follow the audio instructions to continue to reach your destination safely. The option can be set in the ride screen: During navigation, you can select at the top right of the screen whether navigation should take place with or without voice output. You ride smartphone on the handlebar or with your Kiox 300? No problem - the audio instructions also work with the mobile phone in your pocket if you use headphones, for example.
Navigation as it should be: On the trail, every second counts. We know that too. When you navigate with Kiox 300, you now get even more details. From now on you can see junctions, descents and turns. So, you stay in the flow.
Re-routing, quick and easy: If you deviate from your originally planned route, the eBike Flow app immediately calculates an alternative - without annoying instructions that force you to turn back. Just keep going. We'll show you the new route in seconds.
Come to the dark side: A new display option for the map during navigation is the "Dark map". The dark design is not only easy on the eyes, but also on the battery of the smartphone. You can activate this option during route planning under Map > select route profile > Map details.
Navigate smart, arrive on time: We have optimised the calculation of the arrival time so that the navigation learns from your previous journeys and responds even more precisely to you and your driving behaviour. By the way: With this update, we are trying out a new function. With the help of artificial intelligence, we suggest certain routes to you. This way, we can take many different factors into account and offer you even better, customised solutions for your route planning in the future. Please help us with your feedback by rating the route planning in the app.
Two factors determine your cycling performance: How much power you can put on the pedal and how fast you can turn the crank. With the new display in the ride screen, you can track your cadence and the power you are putting in to optimise your ride and fitness.
While riding, you can now also keep an eye on the current altitude and gradient values and enjoy your progress every now and then.
The two additional displays can be called up via the ride screen. Use the LED Remote or the Mini Remote in combination with the System Controller while riding.
Hey man, where's my eBike? Admit it, you've asked yourself this question too! With the Bosch ConnectModule (available at your local dealer) and eBike Alarm, you can park your eBike safely and be informed if your eBike gets lost. But what if you yourself have forgotten where you parked your eBike? It's easy: the street where your eBike is parked is immediately displayed on the Home Screen under your name. Click on it to see the exact position on the map.
Critical messages: Since the safety of your eBike is very important to us, we have made sure that you are always informed about what is happening with your eBike in critical situations. Therefore, make sure that the option "Critical notifications" is activated in the settings of your iPhone under Notifications > eBike Flow App.
Rename completed activity: As soon as you start pedaling, each of your activities is recorded. You can now freely choose the title of each activity. Also use emojis to express your mood.
Add new components: Now you can easily and quickly connect your Intuvia 100 and Mini Remote to the smart system using the eBike Flow app. To do this, go to My eBike > eBike Info in the settings of the eBike Flow app and add your new device. Follow the instructions in the app.

When you switch off your eBike, eBike Lock and eBike Alarm are automatically activated. The motor support is deactivated and your eBike reacts to slight movements with alarm signals. If your eBike is moved more significantly, you will receive a message on your smartphone, the tracking function starts, and you can track the position of your eBike in the eBike Flow app.
Important note: To be able to use eBike Alarm, the ConnectModule (available from your specialist bike dealer from autumn) must be installed on your eBike and eBike Lock must be activated.

You can set up the connection with your Apple Watch in the eBike Flow app under Settings > Connected services. Make sure that you have installed the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
eBike ABS: The eBike Flow app supports the new Bosch eBike ABS. In the settings of the app or via the Kiox 300 display, you can view the set ABS mode and, if configured accordingly, also change it.
Please note that retrofitting the Bosch eBike ABS is not possible.
