Syncing problems causes 🤬

Like the app. Don’t like the occasional syncing hiccups with strava, along with the assertion that the file can be retrieved somehow nowhere else! I’ve been forced to try several times over the years and have been unsuccessful each time.

Still going strong.

Amazing continuous support of an app for more than a decade. My Haibike without Bosch is still supported even after Bosch bought Cobi.bike. I’ll be looking at a Bosch powered bike whenever my bike decides to pack it in. My bike is 8 years old now.

Hello Raceto100. Thank you very much for the pleasant feedback and for sharing your experience. Enjoy cycling! Your Bosch eBike Team

Fonts got weird in this latest July 2026 update

The fonts got weird in this latest update. Any way to revert to the old non-serif font? It’s more difficult to read the display now. It was a simple Helvetica before, now some odd stretched serif font. Bad looking.

Really bad software…looking for an alternative…

The screen display truncates everything, especially music that is being played. No total mileage display on the bike. Too many button pushes to navigate through very user unfriendly menus. Using the iPhone is really stupid. The iPhone 17 pro max display is not anywhere near bright enough to be seen in direct sunlight.

Le CarPlay pour le velo : enfin un velo moderne

MaJ :
Pourquoi vous ne faites plus de mise à jour aussi régulièrement ? pourquoi ne pas apporter les même fonctionnalités que ce que vous proposez pour l’application e-bike ?
Certaine fonctionnalités seraient intéressantes à pousser :
- gestion de plusieurs vélo dans l’application sans avoir à se déconnecter.
- orientation de la boussole dans l’application.
Merci pour votre travail !

C’est une super solution pour avoir un velo intelligent et connecté. Je l’utilise sur VAE et sur VTT ! Tous les jours 😊
Le GPS est top, le choix des itinéraires calme ou rapide un vrai plus.
Le dispositif visuel est vraiment très bien et intuitif, belle présentation.
Les connections au système starva ou komoot sont très bien : vous préparez votre sortie / itinéraire tranquillement sur ordi ou ipad et la trouvez chargée sur le velo!
De retour de sortie : l’analyse se fait dans strava, komoot ou bouger (AppleWatch).
La prise en compte des différents capteurs (apple watch ou cardio, capteurs de vitesse et cadence, capteur puissance moteur) permet une bonne information sur l’écran et dans l’analyse de la sortie.

Point positif :
- évolution régulière de l’application
- prise en compte des commentaires utilisateurs : l’app a été traduite en français

Amélioration à apporter :
- choisir la connexion à un VAE ou à un VTT sans avoir à se déconnecter.
- le feux stop prévu au début… petite mise à jour pour que soir enfin disponible SVP.
- possibilité de connecté un capteur d’effort en bluetooth pour la puissance
- permettre les appel ou SMS sans avoir à toucher l’écran.
- envoyer les sms préenregistré avec son numéro de tel (peut-être en utilisant raccourci)

Continuez à faire évoluer votre solution… elle est vraiment géniale !

Encore qq évolutions de l’app et du firmware et je mets 5 étoiles 😊

J’utilise toujours quotidiennement l’application mais les qq mise à jour demandé n’arrivent pas, c’est dommage :

- choisir la connexion à un VAE ou à un VTT sans avoir à se déconnecter.

- permettre les appel ou SMS sans avoir à toucher l’écran.

—-> utiliser un bouton programmable par exemple pour lancer une action.

- le feux stop prévu au début… petite mise à jour pour que soit enfin disponible SVP.

- possibilité de connecté un capteur d’effort en bluetooth pour la puissance

Merci bcp pour votre travail

Superbe application

Dommage que le support du téléphone ne soit pas à la hauteur de l’application et de la marque Bosch. En 6 ans j’ai dû le changer 6 fois.

Bonjour Ulyssimo. Merci pour les cinq étoiles. Veuillez insérer votre smartphone dans le support conformément aux instructions et vous assurer qu’il respecte les dimensions indiquées, même avec la coque.

Fonctionne parfaitement

Vraiment super sympa comme compteur sur un VTT électrique.
Ca serait vraiment géniale d’avoir un écran mix, navigation cartographique et information de pédalage et forme ( cadence, puissance, rythme cardiaque)
Le partage strava fonctionne très bien.
Ca serait un plus d’avoir Garmin

Toujours mise à jour après quelques années c’est vraiment un plus

Compass is Kapuut

I have an IPhone and when I use the COBI app the compass is off by 90 degrees. Always. This should be a simple fix, but according to the reviews it’s existed since the app was introduced.

From Bosch: Hi Keeterone, COBI compass is always following Apple Maps. When the shift in direction occurs in COBI App it is also happens in Apple Maps and after some seconds in the iPhone compass. We are dependent on Apple Maps here. Your Bosch eBike Team"

Sorry Bosch e-bike Team but this is not true. Apple Maps works fine. Apple compass works fine, too. COBI app is kaput. The compass is 90 degrees off. Always.

When I’m going North COBI says I’m going West. When I’m going West COBI says im going South, etc, etc. It’s always off by 90 degrees. Please let me know if I can help you troubleshoot this. I’d like to see this fixed.

Not very intuitive

This app is difficult to navigate. Couldn’t find settings after plugging it into the bike. Couldn’t find how to change compass to display to the direction you are traveling…a “north up” graphic is not how a compass works. Couldn’t find how to zero out the last ride. I want manual control of the app and everything seems to be either hidden, automatic or doesn’t exist.

Great app but one issue …

The color set on the app keeps reverting to blue after a few days. Odd. 2years later, the color settings still don’t work. It’s related to the Trek Exclusive Branding setting. If set to that, the actual setting slider will disappear from the app and the color reverts to blue. Then if I set the color to any other stock color, after a min, hour, day at most, the color reverts to blue and the exclusive slider is back. I set it to on (Trek Red)and the pattern continues. 2 years, 3 iOS versions, 2 different phones. Maddening.

Documentation

The documentation, as far as I’ve gotten through it just in the last half a day since I bought the bicycle yesterday has not been forthcoming with all the possibilities that I see could exist and how to operate step-by-step the app. Operating such things isn’t my best go so almost a picture by picture with description would really be helpful and that is how it started, but it didn’t cover very much.

It’s worth using

It feels clunky compared to the apps that I’m used to using. It only rotates one direction when you turn your phone. I use it every time I ride, but it only logs one out of four rides and saves the data and I can’t figure out why it does this. You can’t use voice commands and while riding, it won’t let your phone announce text messages through your AirPods!!!

Not ready for prime time

Frustrating is the first word that comes to mind with this app and integration to the bike. The app is mediocre at best. The contrast should be higher and for as much real estate as it has (your entire phone), it doesn’t use it very well. All of the metrics on left side are too small and the contrast is too weak to be readily useable by a rider. The fonts are narrow given the space it has to display and functions on the right are cool, but again hard to see, especially in sun wearing sunglasses. The worst is the integration to the bike. The holder is not universal and has a far too small channel to hold a newer phone. My phone was jarred out after I dropped off a curb. It fell out on two other occasions and now I use a rubber band to hold it in place. It is also rather cheaply made and the first one broke, fortunately Trek replaced it under warranty. Finally, it does not track or save your ride. Virtually all bike apps save rides, but not Cobi. If I had known the above, I would have bought a Specialized.

Still missing basic capabilities

I’ve reviewed this before but nothing has been done. This app does not work in portrait mode on an iPhone. This app is made for Trek bicycles but does not have Trek bike wheel sizes. All measurements are metric but Trek makes English Standard wheel sizes which do not translate to metric so speed and distance readings are always wrong. What is the point of the app if not to tell speed and distance? Please, don’t just thank me for the information if you’re not going to fix the problems.

Great App in many ways

This app is great. Love the functionality and features plus the ability to use and charge my phone while riding.

There's maps, music and peddle assist controls available.

What I want to change is how the app turns my bike on automatically and I want to be able to turn it off from the app.

Would also like to adjust bike settings such as idle time out and lights on at power up.

Ride on ❗
