Description

Staying connected with your life and your friends - smart connectivity means this is also possible while cycling. The Bosch SmartphoneHub and COBI.Bike app connect your eBike to your digital world.

COBI.BIKE – YOUR CONNECTED BIKING SYSTEM

The future of bike-based mobility has begun. The COBI.Bike system connects your bike with your digital world. This award-winning product provides smart features to your bike and intelligent assistance using the smartphone. The result: more safety, comfort and fun on any cycling route – a new dimension of biking.

DASHBOARD

The dashboard gives you quick access to speed, weather, fitness and performance info in a beautiful interface.

WHEEL MENU

Use the thumb controller to quickly fly through the features – the wheel menu is the smooth interface for your riding experience.

MUSIC CONTROL

All the control you'd expect, with the simplicity of a thumb controller. Start, stop and pause your tunes with intuitive thumb presses. It works with all your media apps too – from Spotify to podcasts.

COMMUNICATE

Make a quick call by selecting a contact using the thumb controller. You can also answer calls without letting go of the handlebars, which means no more risky phone action while riding.

FITNESS TRACKING

The system integrates with Bluetooth sensors to display important data like heart rate zone and cadence – directly on the dashboard. The fitness data collected from COBI.Bike can be easily transferred to your Apple Health profile.

VOICE FEEDBACK

Even if you don't look at your phone, the optional voice feedback gives you confidence when navigating through the app, including turn-by-turn navigation commands.


ROUTE PLANNING

The blazing fast route selection begins with a tap on the home screen. It takes your current bike location into account, which means setting up the perfect route is done in just three steps. You can choose between fastest, shortest and quietest route. Connect your komoot account to extend the best connected biking system with the best tour planning experience.

3D BIKE NAVIGATION

For optimal bike route guidance the app offers a full-size navigation with turn-by-turn voice feedback – based on OpenStreetMap (OSM). Global offline maps included.


REAL-TIME RIDE WEATHER

Working with the world's best data providers, you get a minute precise, hyper-local weather forecast for your ride, indicating chances of rain, felt temperature and other important weather conditions.

PERSONALIZED INTERFACE

Complete your and your bike's profile and choose your favourite interface color to customize your ride experience.

The app features are continually evolving. In addition wireless hub firmware-upgrades keep the hardware functions up-to-date.

Only let down is the maps

Unfortunately the map databases in the UK available to use do not have all the cycle paths so the device sometimes takes you on to the road

Good when it works

The Cobi system is OK. Just OK.
The software isn’t bad, and will allow you to use the rather clunky satnav which has very poor mapping ie it took me down a dirt track that went nowhere claiming it was a through route - it wasn’t!! The use of open source mapping isn’t great, and Cobi will not allow you to use any other mapping such as Google or Apple maps.
It is a nice idea poorly executed.
The biggest issue is that if the Cobi mount battery is low then you cannot start your ebike at all. The only solution is to connect to the ebike charger! Not easy when you have travelled a long way to make that long planned for scenic ebike ride!
The Cobi mount battery doesn’t charge from the main bike battery so even if you have a full ebike battery, if the hidden Cobi integrated battery is flat then you cannot start your bike! Bit of a nightmare if you are miles away from home!
So for this reason I wouldn’t recommend Cobi or it’s app.
Honestly it’s best avoided - save your money and buy something nice - like a weekend break!

Hi peakrob. We value your feedback, even if it is not the one we aim for. The internal battery of COBI Hub charges from the bike battery and should not get discharged (unless the hub is left unused for a long period of time). Your situation with the Coby mount sounds rather like a defective battery. Please reach out to our support at service@bosch-ebike.co.uk and provide more details, so that our team can assist you.

Superb

I am struggling to understand why this app has such poor reviews. I find it fantastic. Works like a dream and no issues at all. Notice some of the reviews are very old and maybe things have improved. If I was buying my bike again I would spec it with this and the smartphone hub. I use with iPhone so maybe that is why it works so well?

Thank you for your positive review, Nick. We are glad you are enjoying your eBike experience. Your Bosch eBike Team
