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.

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

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.

Ratings and reviews

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 website for the app has more features than the dedicated app?? You can't upload routes on the app, but you can do it on the website. Synchronization isn't that good if you're using komoot as well. Currently I can't set a home location as well. Keep in mind this is supposed to accompany a £2.5k bike, you would expect the app to be much much better. Other ebike brands does it simply better.

Initially promising but through time and use I find it frustrating to use. For the last three rides it hasn't recorded my route, only the distance and time. It doesn't give you total height climbed, only the high points of your ride (which can be totally wrong) No way of uploading to social media either. This could be a great app but the developers seem to have ran out of skill or ideas to make this app functional and reliable.
