Front Wheel ABS
Sensors monitor front wheel speed and automatically regulate brake pressure for safe, efficient braking.

For many years they've continued to produce their 300Wh, 400Wh, and 500Wh PowerPack batteries however for 2022, Bosch are producing two new options, specifically aimed at the Cargo market and for manufacturers who's bike frames don't allow for an internally mounted option in the form of the brand new Bosch PowerPack 745Wh and 545Wh options.

What do we think?

It's great to see Bosch innovating year-on-year. They continue to be market leaders in the electric bike world and we at E-Bikeshop have been ambassadors for the Bosch eBike system since it first launched many moons ago.

For us Bosch is a clear leader, not just for innovations, but also for after-sales support and backup. They have the resources to offer the complete all-in-one-package to the modern day electric bike user.

Whilst we are here, let's take a look at some common questions that'll crop up:

When will the Bosch eBike Module & Alarm be available? 
Bosch have said that this is due to launch in Autumn 2022. We expect dealers will have stock towards the end of the year, where you'll be able to visit your dealer and opt for fitting of the new Bosch eBike Module.

Is there an ongoing cost to use the new eBike alarm?
Bosch have said that that they are including a 12-month trial period within the price for those purchasing the optional upgrade. Thereafter the eBike alarm function will cost £4.99 per month or £39.99 if purchased annually.

Can I fit the new Smart Remote to my existing Bosch eBike?
The new Bosch Smart Remote is designed to be fitted at manufacturer level into the top tube of the electric bike. This means this is not possible to retro-fit to existing models as the bicycle has to be manufactured to include the smart remote.

Is the new Bosch Intuvia 100 display compatible with my current eBike?
The new Bosch Invtuvia 100 dispaly is compatible with existing bikes that already feature the Bosch Smart System. Please check your existing system, the smart system has featured on some specific eBike models and started featuring on 2022 model year electric bikes onwards.

Can I change the motor in my current eBike to one of the new Smart System motors?
This is not possible. Motor integration is designed by bicycle frame manufacturers and thus features different mount points and integration options. All Bosch motors are only available on an exchange basis, it's not possible to add or replace a Bosch motor with a different or later type.
