What’s New

Version 1.22.7

Range Control – never worry about battery range again
Plan routes with freedom and flexibility, without range anxiety – and enjoy the ride without having to worry about the battery status. Thanks to artificial intelligence, the new Range Control function now makes this a reality.*
When you plan a route with the eBike Flow app, you can see straight away how much battery capacity will remain when you reach your destination in your chosen support mode. With Range Control, you can now decide for yourself how much (minimum) battery charge you need to reach your destination. Depending on your choice, you will see whether you can travel your route with full, low or very low support. During your ride, the support from the Drive Unit is then adapted to ensure the desired battery status on arrival.
Here's how it works: To display the most accurate range possible, your eBike uses the smart system to find out various pieces of information. The system weight, for example, or the elevation graph of the route and your individual riding style on your last rides. The predictions become more and more precise: once the first activities have been recorded, the eBike Flow app can determine the battery status on arrival much more accurately than before.
*Range Control does not work with S-Pedelecs and is not available for Auto mode.

Purion 200 – configure your display
On asphalt or on trails: on your display, you want to see the information that suits your current riding situation and route. That's why we now also let you configure the display of the Purion 200. Using the eBike Flow app, you can add content, change or delete screens and determine the display sequence yourself. With more than 30 types of information available plus individually customisable displays, the Purion 200 can now also become your personalised display.

CO2 savings in the statistics
Sustainability is important to us. That's why from now on, as soon as you've finished your ride, you'll be able to see in the statistics how much CO2 you've saved compared to travelling the same distance by car.

ABS statistics
If you ride with the Bosch eBike ABS, activity tracking will now show you how often you braked in total, and how often the ABS was activated on your last ride.

We've also made some minor improvements. For example, you can now set the ride screen to your favorite format.

Note: After you have downloaded the new version of the eBike Flow app, update your eBike with the smart system using the eBike Flow app. This way you can take advantage of all the features and improvements we have listed here. Please ensure that all the components are attached to your eBike before updating it.

Feature Rich

Nothing bad to say about the app. User friendly interface all in a nice easy to understand package.

My only request from developer is a function to see Battery Health. Charge cycles and something like Maximum Capacity, relative to when the battery was new. This would be a nice addition to the feature rich package.

Thank you for your feedback, G-Bru. We are working on improvements and aim at increasing your satisfaction with the upcoming releases. Your Bosch eBike Team

Couple of weird omissions

I almost never leave reviews, but have been motivated here. I think this is a pretty good piece of software implementation, it can’t be used by both my wife and I with the same bike using the mobile phone adapter. This strikes me as a truly bizarre omission, because allowing multiple devices to pair has been a part of the Bluetooth protocol since its development!

I’m writing because I’d love the developer to confirm that multiple phones will be able to use the same phone mount and unlock the device, just like you can with key substitutes on the Tesla. A core part of many of the cargo bikes’ design is enabling multiple users of different sizes to easily switch in to using the same bike, suggesting that the shared model is not unusual, especially since they’re often billed as car replacements. Please implement this very simple change!!

Well designed but lacking features (currently)

The app interface and design is really neat. Easy to use and reliably connects to my new Bosch Smart ebike.

It’s a bit lacking in features at the moment though and the only thing that I’m finding it useful for is customise the assistance modes. And even that is a set and forget feature.

The ride record is a good idea, but once the ride is finished it’s just sat on the app. There isn’t even a way to import the ride to Strava (it’s missing time stamps) - so not really any use to me just sat on the phone without an option to integrate to the worlds most popular cycling app!

Recording mileage in each mode is interesting. I’d like to see a total ride time in hours - would be useful to help with suspension servicing etc (which has hourly intervals, ie 100 hour service).

I do hope some kind of map / route planning is added. This would make it a great alternative to Garmin if it worked well.

I also hope that we can customise the kiox 300 screens - I’d like to have a clock showing on some screens, not just the default screen!

Overall, as of February 2022, the Smart app is not bad, it’s just not that…. Smart… at the moment.

Hi Duradrum. Thank you for your detailed feedback and suggestions for improvement. We understand your concern and have good news for you: The navigation function is in the starting blocks. We will provide the update soon, so hold on a little longer. Your Bosch eBike Team
