About this app

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 you routes that fit with 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.

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 or Strava.

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 personalize 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.

Please note: 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 on compatible.

The app in general is basic and lacking functionality. You can connect your boardcomputer, plan a route and see your history and statistics. Strange thing is that you are unable to zoom on the map when reviewing your trip. There is no option to link multiple trips together after they are splitted. The moment you take a break the route will be synced and saves as a trip. But taking a break does not mean that the trip stops. Another problem i found is that when you import a GPX route (which stupidly enough is not possible via the APP) it says that there is no route available and that it cant be imported unless you use the routes the bosch map knows. Alternatively you can use komoot which does not complain about GPX imports. But in that case you run into the issue when you try to start navigating that route the kiox starts to "recalculate route" and just changes the route to the availability from the bosch map information. When using a GPX file i use this because i cannot plot it in the bosch map, so changing the route is not what i need in that case. Keep the navigation working based on the plotted GPX coordinates All in all a lot of work needs to be done on the app before it can be considered really useful.

Hi Michael. With the latest app version you can now import GPX files directly into the eBike Connect app. To do so, go to the "Map" tab and tap the black arrow icon in the bottom right corner. We always appreciate your feedback. Your Bosch eBike Team

After a year without problems, recent rides haven't properly registered on my phone since the latest update. The connection to the phone drops out every 10 seconds or so meaning that rides are not recorded. The only thing that that has changed - phone, where it is kept etc. Is the app update. Update. A few changes to permissions on my phone sorted the problem. Works fine now.

The application seems okay. It was easy to set-up, and connect via Bluetooth. Considering how much the motor and battery cost, it's a bit mean to charge to access the electronic lock. That's just greedy. UPDATE.. Having used the application for a short while, I'm sorry to say that it's very frustrating and isn't logging everything. It never showed a thing for today's journeys. Ah well, I'm sure that it will improve. It needs to.

- The maps have been updated (as of October 2023).
- We have made a number of minor bug fixes. For example, we have ensured the height difference is now displayed correctly for routes planned with komoot.
