Description
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 your routes that fit 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. Connect the eBike Connect app with Apple Health, Komoot or Strava and your activities are automatically synchronised. As an Apple Watch user, you can train even more effectively by tracking your heart rate while riding.
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, Strava or Apple Health.
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 personalise 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.
Usability information: 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.
What’s New
Version 5.6.3
New features:
• Search for activities: You can now search for individual rides more easily in the eBike Connect app. In your activities, simply search for the name of the completed ride or filter by length or duration.
• Saved locations: We have improved the route planning. You can now use locations saved in the eBike Connect app as a starting point or a stopover for your route: You can, for example, add your home or your workplace. You will find these options marked by an icon under 'Map' > 'Route planning'.
Improvements:
• We have fixed several bugs and improved stability, e.g. for the Bluetooth connection of Kiox and Nyon.
• The eBike Connect app now also works with iOS18.
Ratings and Reviews
It’s getting better
It’s a fairly good app, but there are two issues with the Apple ecosystem. Hope you can develop them to be better.
The route / gps track is not updated to Apple Health from the app. Secondly, it feels silly that you get the connection prompt to Apple Watch on each ride.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your feedback, late-fi. We are working on improvements and aim at increasing your satisfaction with the upcoming releases. Your Bosch eBike Team
Draining battery in default mode
The app requires that location services are always enabled although the app should only follow position while the Kiox or Nyon is on and connected. Due to this the battery consumption is huge (I mean huge) and I’m on edge to abandon the app for good. You need to change the location service settings after and before each ride if you want to have any battery remaining and it frustrating! Unfortunately this app is only one capable to provide the connection between health app and the Kiox display. Otherwise I would have dumped it.

Thank you for your feedback, vaaejm . We are working on improvements also in terms of battery consumption and aim at increasing your satisfaction with the upcoming releases. Your Bosch eBike Team
Drains battery
Latest version (with improvements to location accuracy etc…) drains a LOT of battery. Even on days when it should have no business tracking the device location in any case (ebike not in use).
Developer Response ,
Hello Bono Estente, features such as navigation and activity tracking are based on high-consumption smartphone settings such as GPS, screen brightness, internet connection and Bluetooth. You can reduce consumption by optimising the screen brightness and deactivating/activating the other settings as required. Your Bosch eBike Team
