Bosch eBike Connect 4+

Overall pretty good - some data issues

Love the app as it syncs data from my NYON easily. However, there are some overall data issues. E.g. when exporting data to Strava, BOSCH eBike Connect will show me 150W average user power and after export, Strava will show 33W avg user power. Also, when exporting data in GPX format from the portal and while selecting the summary data incl all segments of the day, the portal will only export the 1st segment. I’ll use the app for sync from NYON for the most part. Everything else is pretty much done through the web portal. Also, wished I could switch metric and imperial.
Love NYON and wished there would be a better community engagement from BOSCH’s UX and Dev teams.

Needs work

The Bosch Performance CX motor and Kiox are great. However this APP is really, Really bad.
First, one never knows if the ride is going to get synced to the phone app. So I’ve lost many rides for lack of a sync. It ought to do it or give me a way to do it when I e stopped.
Secondly, there is so much data available that doesn’t get to the app, ascent/descent, power used, batter Wh used should all be available. This isn’t hard to do and you should have this fixed by now. Once the kiox resets the ride all that data is lost. For serious riders, we need to know how far, how fast, how much elevation did we climb, how much power did we use in Watts and how much of the battery was consumed. This will allow us to make better judgements about what trails we can ride without running out of power at the bottom of a hill before we start riding. The range is helpful but I want to figure it out before I get on the dirt.

Please please please fix this. I have to attach my Garmin to the bars just to track all of this amd then manually record how much of the battery was used on every ride.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your feedback. As per ascent and descent that feature isn’t available for Kiox. It’s a Nyon feature. Both displays use the same app, but with different functions. If you have any technical queries you may want help with, please send us an e-mail to: contact@bosch-ebike.co.uk.

Two glaring issues

First, the app does not seem to stream the heart rate using an Apple Watch to the Kiox display. I understand that heart rate will be recorded to the workout, but it does not display on the Kiox while I’m riding it. This is an important metric, so it’s very disappointing that they don’t show it. Especially because it seems to be supported in the eBike Flow app? Could be that Bosch is starting to neglect this app.

Second, the data recorded to Apple Health/Workouts is severely lacking. It does not write the cadence or power. It also does not write the elevation over time, speed over time, or route (map data) to Workouts. The default Workout app handles this all masterfully so I’m very disappointed with Bosch.

As it stands now, I don’t see any reason to use this app for workouts. Maybe it’s time for Bosch to let the open-source community take over.
