When cars have been able to display a map or useful information for years, why couldn’t it be a bicycle? Bosch simply tightened the idea of EBIKE FLOW limits, a mobile application that converts your electric bike into a connected vehicle.
The pedelec is not just the engine in the clicks and the screen that shows the speed. It is also a vehicle full of electronics, capable of collecting data, tracking your location in real time, or connecting to a smartphone.
So why not allow the user to make the most of it? This is what Bosch has done with his EBIKE FLOW app (available for Android and iOS): an application that can make your bike smarter and safer, displaying map data and even changing engine assistance.
What is the EBIKE FLOW application?
The Ebike Flow mobile application allows you to make full use of the functions of the BOSCH intelligent intelligent system. The complete compatible bike list is available on the official Bosch website. Fardroid He also wrote a complete set dedicated to the Bosch Smart System.
For Ebike Flow to work, it requires a Bosch account and Bluetooth activation and location to determine the phone. Once you have finished these steps, simply access the bike and turn it on, then on the application home screen, select Connecting a new bike. The application then automatically detects VAE via Bluetooth.
When you connect the application, it synchronizes the wheel settings. It then allows access to various features such as navigation, bike adaptation, or update of the on -board electronics software.
Application for better security of your bike
If there is only one reason to recommend the installation of Ebike Flow, then it is that it can turn your smartphone into a real digital key. It is an EBIKE LOCK function, available for free in the application.
The principle is simple: after EBIKE LOCK activation in the application, electrical assistance automatically deactivates when pedaling when you turn off the wheel and leave it with a smartphone. For wheels equipped with KIOX 300 or KIOX 500, the application allows you to configure by automatically deactivating the engine when the screen is removed. Since the summer of 2025, Bosch also adds another Battery Lock protection layer.
As for the wheel unlocking, it is completely transparent: the smartphone is enough to be close to the wheel to recognize it through the Bluetooth signal and re -activate electrical assistance. You don’t even have to pull your smartphone out of your pocket to see it.
Bosch even considered adding additional features, Ebike alarm to complete this safety device. Via ConnectModule (Sensor equipped with a GPS receiver, integrated directly into certain models of bikes equipped with Bosch or available after sale) Ebike Alarm allows you to watch your bike in real time on the map, but also make a sound signal. and visual alarm in case of suspicious activity on your bike.
This feature is associated with FLOW+ subscription at the price of EUR 4.99 per month or EUR 39.99 per year. It offers a 12 -month trial period.
App to convert your smartphone to the on -board computer
Using a smartphone as a GPS while cycling, everyone has done that. But why not convert it into a real on -board computer? Bosch has made this concept to the maximum, because with Ebike Flow, the smartphone becomes a real display panel.
It shows speed, kilometers, map with instructions, wheel charge status and much more. Even better, all data recorded by the intelligent Bosch system are sent to the application, which allows you to better measure the entire cycling history.
In this area, Bosch has a great lead over the competition with his application. The German manufacturer has led experience to the integration of the route planner into which you can import komoot routes. Better, using the Range Control function, the application is able to calculate the battery charge necessary to achieve the target target. Some electric cars sold in 2025 are still unable to.
Displaying information on the smartphone requires very practical accessories: SmartphoneGrip. Visually it is a very classic smartphone holder: located on the handlebars allows you to safely hold your smartphone in width mode. But the real advantage of this smartphoneGrip is that it is able to communicate with the control of the bike, communicate with the screen without having to use the touch. Particularly well thought out software and hardware ecosystem.
Application to personalize your electric bike to the smallest detail
EBIKE FLOW not only collects and displays information, but also allows you to take control of your wheel settings. More precisely, it allows you to personalize every assistance mode on your bike (ECO, turbo, tour, EMTB, etc.) according to four parameters: assistance level, maximum speed, torque control and dynamics. Useful, if you find that, for example, the torque in ECO mode deserves to increase a little.
Ebike Flow is a regularly updated BOSCH team and regularly takes into account feedback from users. They have long been asking for the possibility of personalizing the display of kiox screens or what is displayed on the smartphone after connecting to the smartphoneGrip. This is now the case, because today’s screens can display numerous parameters from the elevation of altitude to the heart rate from your attached watch.
Finally, note that EBIKE FLOW contains a lot of other practical information: EBIKE identity, finding an approved repair or Bosch dealer near your place, sharing information with third -party applications, etc. A model of its kind in the area of pedelecs, which is unprecedented today.
