FAQs

Can you upgrade Bosch Purion to KIOX? ›

Is it possible to upgrade from Bosch Purion to Kiox? Yes, you can switch from Purion to Kiox. The accessories you need to do this are available from your dealer. It is advisable to ask your dealer about what is compatible with your existing system.

Connected intelligently

Five buttons, one display and lots of options: the Purion 200 is networked in the smart system and connects the eBike with the eBike Flow app.

Generally speaking, most electric bikes do not charge when you pedal. They need their batteries to be plugged into a power outlet to be powered. However, some models offer the possibility of charging while you pedal, although this is often very inefficient.

You just need to download the SmartBike app, pay INR 1 for registration and then you can start renting. You can even park the bike without stopping the rental, using park mode on the app. Once rented, you can return the bike at any official SmartBike station, using the map on the app.

There are two ways to activate S Bike Mode: you can use the S Bike Mode NFC tag and tap a compatible device on it, you can activate it manually through the quick setting toggle in the notification shade, or long press the power button and activate the feature from there.

The Bosch Kiox Upgrade Kit Upgrades your eBike to the Kiox display.

The Bosch Smartphone Hub retrofit kit allows you to upgrade your current Bosch e-bike Purion, Intuvia, Nyon or KioX system into a state of the art data center. The Bosch Smartphone Hub retrofit kit transforms a Bosch powered e-bike into a fully networked bicycle that's simply loaded with tons of useful data.

Generally, manufacturers set an adjustable speed limiter to restrict the maximum speed of your ebikes for safety concerns. But you can adjust and set the speed as per the local government regulations and make electric bike faster. If your bike has a wired speed limiter, you can turn it off by disconnecting the wire.

The magic of the Bosch Smart System is just how intuitive it feels on the trail, despite offering masses of power. On the trail, we continue to be impressed by the power and support from the Performance Line CX motor. The eMTB mode is brilliant, varying the support between 140-340% based on a variety of parameters.

Like the Kiox, the Nyon is much more reminiscent of a standalone bike GPS; whereas the Kiox might remind you of a smaller Garmin, the new Nyon is more akin to something like the Hammerhead Karoo. It's a touchscreen unit with a backlit 3.2”, 384x454 pixel full colour display.

What is the most powerful Bosch eBike motor? ›

Bosch Performance Line CX

Performance Line CX is Bosch's most powerful motor designed for electric mountain bikes. Updated in 2020 to be 48% smaller and 1kg lighter than the previous iteration, this unit can now pump out 85nm of torque after a software update.

Don't leave your e-bike plugged in all the time. Higher end charging systems will shut off completely once a battery is charged but some systems may keep charging. It's always a good idea to unplug the charger from a full battery.

No! Leave it on the bike (unplugged) for short term, off the bike for long term. Modern chargers are smart, and will not "over-charge" a battery, but leaving a battery plugged in can be harmful for other reasons: Charging a battery up to 100% takes much longer and is more stressful than the rest of the charge cycle.

The battery should never be stored fully charged or fully drained. Both are hard on the battery and can decrease their life. You should check the battery every month and charge it back up to that 50-70% range if necessary.

Smart Bike's city operations head Abhinandan Malhotra said, “When the facility was free, around 3,000 to 3,500 rides were being taken in a day. Now, the number has come down to around 1,500.” A fee of Rs10 plus the GST is charged for using a bicycle for half an hour.

SmartBike has transformed the way bicycles are used on a sharing basis by the common citizen by providing high-quality bicycles at thickly populated residential and commercial centers through the installation of bicycle stations. The process of rent and return is digital and can be used on a smartphone.

For cyclists, it's the safer and more practical option. The obvious place to put your phone is on the handlebar or stem. There are lots of mounts designed for this – for example, from Quad Lock and SKS. Such mounts are primarily designed so that you can use your phone as a GPS bike computer or as a satnav.

In fact, Bosch themselves state that the battery should be good for around 10 years or 1500 full charge cycles. After 1500 cycles the battery will still work, but any battery will age over time so it will start to lose capacity and therefore not power your electric bike as far.

Can I add a second battery to my eBike? ›

You can add a second battery to your e-bike as the controller can draw power even from a set of multiple batteries. To add a secondary battery you should a Connector. This device balances the load across batteries and thus prevents them from discharging into one another causing an electrical fire.

Bosch motors are not designed to be serviced and should only fixed if they start to fail. The motors are sealed for life and if kept dry will do in excess of 50,000 miles (80,000km) without problem.

Class 1: The e-bike will give assistance when you pedal up to 20mph. Once you reach 20 mph, the motor will cut off and any higher speeds come from your pedaling.

Class 3: Pedal Assist top speed 28 mph

When the e-bike reaches 28 mph, the motor assistance will be reduced until a speed of 28 mph or lower is maintained. Class 3 is a much more enjoyable way to experience the fastest e-bikes as it is closer to the speed a fit cyclist can achieve without motor assistance.

An electric bike display can turn off due to an empty battery, faulty battery management system configuration, sensor failure, a loose connection, or a motor inhibitor. These factors mean the display needs more power to display information.

For many, 25km/h is enough speed for an eBike. However, for those of us that want to be able to ride a bit faster, you will need a tuning chip. A tuning chip essentially removes the 25km/h speed restriction on your eBike and allows you to continue to pedal with assistance from your Performance Line CX motor.

The Revolution XX is the world's fastest e-bike, with a top speed of 74 miles per hour (tested on a dry lake bed), thanks to an output of 10,000 watts, or 13.4 horsepower. The crazy part is that you can even pedal along at that speed—yikes!

Bikes are delivered to 32 different countries, with Kalkhoff's handiwork – made in Germany – even proving competitive in East Asia.

What is the top speed of Bosch electric bike? ›

You benefit from strong support up to the maximum speed of 28 mph.

The Performance Line SX is the first lightweight motor from the German brand, with a claimed weight of 2kg. Alongside the new motor, Bosch has released a new CompactTube 400 battery, which it says is the lightest in its range with the highest energy density, weighing approximately 2kg with a capacity of 400Wh.

A 350w e-bike has 60Nm rotational force or torque which is 10% more in a 500w ebike. On the other hand, the battery on a 500w e-bike drains more quickly.

Yes, you can leave your electric bike battery charging overnight. There's no need to worry about overcharging or over-draining your e-bike battery.

You should expect your electric bike to last (with regular maintenance and care) as long as a regular bike would. Unless you are neglecting it in the rain, it's should last you upwards of 10 years.

Taking care of your eBike during the winter

Don't ride in subzero temperatures. 0F and everything below is simply dangerous for your eBike because the battery can give up really fast and it won't be something you can fix in a few minutes. Don't leave your eBike outside when it's freezing below 30F.

The ideal e-bike storage temperature is between 32º and 68º, between freezing and room temperature. Ebikes can be stored down to -22º, however the electronic elements of your ebike don't like such temperatures for prolonged periods so we wouldn't recommend pushing it that far.

In perfect conditions, the battery in an electric bike can last up to 8 years. However, because lithium batteries slowly decline in capacity over time, a more realistic lifespan is between 3 to 5 years. For Blix batteries, you can expect a 25,000 mile (500-800 charging cycle) lifetime.

Before storing it charge it up to about 70% power and then give it a full charge before using it again in the spring. You should still keep hydrated, but you won't be needing any bike-mounted water bottles, so feel free to take these off your ebike to keep them safe for next spring.

Generally speaking, most electric bikes do not charge when you pedal. They need their batteries to be plugged into a power outlet to be powered. However, some models offer the possibility of charging while you pedal, although this is often very inefficient.

Can I use my phone on a bike? ›

For cyclists, it's the safer and more practical option. The obvious place to put your phone is on the handlebar or stem.

Riders will add their bikes to a new Items tab in the Find My app. Via this new tab tracked products will be findable on maps on iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Lost—or stolen—products can be made to play a sound to help locate it.

If the app prompts you to enter this six-digit code it can be found both on the bike "Peel Me" label (find "BLE" followed by six numbers) AND underneath the bike's power button/display on the top tube.

If the controller isn't working, start by checking the power switch. Switch it on if it's not in the “on” position. Check for any incorrectly connected, disconnected, or loose wiring. If you see improperly connected wires, you can reconnect them yourself.

Controller Voltage & Power

If you buy a non-programmable controller, ensure that the control voltage should be the same as motor voltage and the controller power should be the same or slightly more than the motor power. For example, if the motor voltage is 24v, then the controller's voltage should be 24v.

Bikemap. Bikemap is an iPhone and Android app that offers route planning, navigation, real-time updates and plenty more. In our experience, it's a good alternative to Strava or Komoot for route planning and offers more for free, though both Strava and Komoot also have their own unique features.

May Be Subject to Local Prohibitions. Although it may be difficult to actually do both at the same time, texting while biking is generally not against the law. Most ordinances and state laws that outlaw texting while driving apply only to motor vehicles.

Cyclemeter is the most advanced application for cyclists. Built for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and iCloud, it makes your iPhone a powerful fitness computer — with maps, graphs, splits, intervals, laps, announcements, zones, training plans and more.
