Bosch eBike Flow: New Features for Manufacturers, Shops & Riders | Connected Biking Platform Updates

March 24, 2026 Rachel Kim – Technology Editor Technology

Stuttgart, Germany – Bosch eBike Systems unveiled a series of updates to its eBike Flow software today, aiming to consolidate the user experience and expand connectivity options for riders, manufacturers, and service providers. The core of the update allows third-party e-bike manufacturers to integrate their own “content cards” directly within the eBike Flow app, reducing the demand for users to juggle multiple applications.

The move, announced on March 24, 2026, opens the door for manufacturers to host apps or subscription services within the Bosch ecosystem. According to Bosch, the Connected Biking Platform will facilitate connections between apps and service providers, broadening the reach of both communities. Komoot, a popular route planning and navigation app, is already integrated with the eBike Flow dashboard, offering seamless access for users.

“This creates a consistent experience for shared users and a valuable basis for the further development of our own services,” Bosch stated. Claus Fleischer, CEO of Bosch eBike Systems, added that the Connected Biking platform is “becoming a central component of the digital ecosystem around the eBike,” and that the company is “creating opportunities for industry players to develop their own digital offerings.”

Bosch is providing a standardized set of interfaces and digital modules to ensure secure integration for partners, accessible via Cloud APIs for the ConnectModule and the eBike Flow app. Beyond the user-facing improvements, the updates also offer benefits for bike manufacturers and retailers. Specialist bike shops will gain real-time fleet management capabilities, including location and availability tracking, to aid in recovery of stolen bikes and improve operational efficiency.

The fresh system also provides manufacturers with anonymized insights into e-bike usage patterns. This data can be leveraged to address ongoing supply chain challenges, with functionality revealing current stock levels and identifying frequently used features. Test fleets can be managed more efficiently, and transport to retailers can be streamlined with the integrated tracking option, a feature particularly relevant given the bike industry’s struggles with stock shortages since the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Connected Biking platform extends its reach to professional mobility service providers as well. Fleet operators can improve e-bike management and minimize downtime, even as leasing companies can transparently track the value retention of their models. Insurance companies can potentially reduce risk through improved damage tracking. The result, Bosch claims, will be more reliable bike-sharing services, clearer leasing terms, and more accurate insurance rates.

For leasing providers, the platform offers access to a detailed log of the e-bike’s condition and service history, professionalizing the customer experience. This facilitates accurate technical appraisals upon return and enables more objective evaluations for remarketing. Leasing partners can also integrate additional digital services, such as digital theft protection and contract data access, directly into the eBike Flow app, optimizing customer lifecycle management and encouraging repeat leasing.

These developments build upon earlier enhancements to the eBike Flow app, including the addition of a “marked stolen” functionality implemented earlier in 2026.
