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
Could do with seeing battery charging remotely
I think this app is pretty good, although haven’t experienced others so hard to compare, I like certain functions and features plus paid for the premium to change settings of support via the 4 modes, admittedly haven’t been convinced I’ve set up properly and only had Cube e-bike a little while, charged 3 times so far, what would be good is to see the battery percentage while charging on the app when being charged outside in Asgard e-bike storage, so have to guess, usually around 4 hours, the app does have room for improvements and maybe a few more tweaks are in development?

An update for the bike!!
My Nyon on-board computer has just received an update. I thought "hey, they've listened to my complaint that you cannot save a destination or a route, nor can you point to the map and tell it to create a route to that point. A bit lacking really, considering that it's supposed to be a sat-nav.
Anyway, after the update, I find that the only thing that seems to have changed is that there are more "points of interest" installed. I now have a category for Helipads. As all serious cyclists know, it's a big problem when you can't find the nearest helicopter.

9 Aug 2017. Update on my update about the update....
There have now been a few more (updates) since I wrote the above, and, credit where it's due, it is getting better. The whole Nyon thing is becoming better and slicker, with screens that are nice to use. So long as you use the excellent online portal to set up your Nyon then it is a great thing for the bike, even though the on board satnav control is still way too basic. (Anyway, I've added a couple of stars)
Poor for Bosch
After upgrading my eBikeConnect to a Kiox very excited to try the app. It connected easily great start. Went out for a ride to see how it all works. The kiox works fine showing all the features first ride complete let’s check on the app.
Unfortunately that is the positive over. The big issues I have.
1. As I found out unless you keep the location tracking in the background all the time (I have issues with location data on all the time) other apps have it just when using app. This does affect the battery life of the phone and why do Bosch need to know where I am all the time.
2. The syncing is done in Bosch time so first ride only half the data was available until the next time I used the bike. 2nd ride tried to force the sync no chance. The last ride I did showed on the kiox, Never arrived on the phone. What is the point of tracking your months ride if it does not log everything. Nearly every ride has different data missing. Telling me “synced just recently” does not help 2 days later and not updated.
3. What is the point of showing fields in the activity if it never shows. Ascent and decent have never given a value . It shows altitude so why no ascent or decent.
Use this for fun, if you want to log rides use a cycle computer or cycle app far more reliable.
Come on Bosch you are supposed to be leaders in this technology. At the moment others give a far better user experience.
