What's New in eBike Flow

1.36.5

July 6, 2026

Your setup. Your boost. Use the crucial boost to overcome roots or steps on the trail with ease. Now you can tailor the Extended Boost in the eBike Flow app to fit your riding style. This lets you use Extended Boost flexibly across all riding modes and with different Drive Units.* The motor boosts for up to two meters. The powerful, perfectly timed impulse helps you clear rocks, steps, or roots with ease. With a new slider in the eBike Flow app, you can adjust the boost duration for each riding mode individually. The scale goes from zero (disabled) to ten for a maximum boost of up to two meters.* Find this setting in the menu under "custom riding modes > Extended Boost". Whether you're on your eMTB trail or riding your cargo eBike over a curb, the extra boost gives you more reliability with different drive units and riding modes. Situation. Impulse. Propulsion. With more direct traction when you start pedaling, your drive unit responds instantly and gives you full control — as if your eBike were glued to your foot. Available for the Performance Line CX-R (BDU386Y) and Performance Line CX (BDU384Y) in Race, eMTB, and eMTB+ riding modes. A software optimization allows us to pre-tension the drivetrain and prevents the motor and rear wheel from freewheeling in technical riding situations. This reduces the free travel on the pedal and the delay when pedaling, allowing the motor to convert your power directly into precise propulsion. The Drivetrain Tensioner is already active for you by default. With a future update to the eBike Flow app, you'll be able to turn the feature on or off. Quick Help. Instantly in the app. The new, AI-powered eBike Assistant in the eBike Flow app answers your questions about Bosch components and features, ensuring you get the right help quickly and easily. The eBike Assistant responds to your questions in dialogue, using content from our Help Center, website, and user manuals. The service starts in a beta phase, where we want to test it with you and keep improving. If an answer isn't quite right, you'll find reliable information in the manual—or you can ask us your question directly via our contact form. Faster in the right gear Enjoy an even faster response from your eBike. When your speed changes suddenly, you're instantly in the right gear, allowing you to keep your rhythm. With automatic transmissions, eShift delivers smoother shifts across multiple gears. With hub gears from Rohloff (Rohloff E-14) and Shimano (Shimano NEXUS Di2), you can switch gears even faster and more responsively, as eShift skips several gears at once. *Customization available in every riding mode and for the following drive units of the smart system: Performance Line CX-R (BDU386Y), Performance Line CX Race Limited Edition (BDU376Y), Performance Line CX (BDU384Y), Performance Line CX (BDU374Y), Performance Line SX (BDU314Y), Performance Line Sprint (BDU314Y), Cargo Line (BDU384Y), Cargo Line (BDU374Y). The Extended Boost is not available in the Limit mode.

Won’t Pair on Phone Change

App won’t pair on phone change to Santa Cruz Vala now I have a dead bike.

Excellent Features – Please Add 100Nm/120Nm Options

I’ve been using the Bosch Flow app for about a week and a half now, and overall I’m really impressed. The app seems to have a lot of useful features and it’s been easy to get started with. I haven’t used the navigation feature yet, but I’m planning to soon. I have to admit I’m a little concerned after reading some of the reviews mentioning navigation issues, but I’ll make my own judgement when I’ve had the chance to test it properly.
One feature I’ve absolutely loved is eBike Lock. Up until today it’s been incredibly quick and seamless to unlock my bike, making the whole experience feel very modern and secure. Today it seemed to take a little longer than usual to connect, but it’s still a fantastic feature and one that gives me real peace of mind, so thank you for including it.
My biggest piece of feedback is regarding motor performance. Please consider giving Gen 4 motor owners the option to unlock higher torque levels, such as 100Nm or even 120Nm. Make it an advanced setting with clear warnings and allow riders to use it at their own risk if necessary. Many of us bought powerful e-bikes because we enjoy the performance, and it would be great to have the choice rather than having power held back. Riders who don’t want the extra torque can simply leave the default settings unchanged.
If Bosch introduced an optional higher-torque mode for Gen 4 motors, this app would be very close to perfect for me. Keep up the great work and please continue giving riders more freedom to customise their bikes.

Great app, vital request

This is a great app full of everything you need to great data and info.

One VITAL request. Please please please add remaining battery % to the Apple Watch. Really, please. Just the remaining battery. Just that tiny feature would change everything.

Got a response from
bosh: “We are committed to make it even better”

I’m holding on to hope. 🤞

Love this app (with one suggestion)

I really like this app. After not riding a bike for more than 40 years, I’ve logged almost 300 miles in just two months. I love how the app shows my route and provides me with valuable data. The one feature that would be extremely helpful when charging is to be notified when the battery 100%. Thank you!

Hello ExcelKnut. We appreciate your suggestions, thank you! We will consider them in our planning. Your Bosch eBike Team

Failing App

This app continues to be poorly managed. It is no longer syncing rides, tries to tell you how to ride and shift (which if you didn’t know) is not what you need in your life. This app interferes with other apps and cellular reception. It most certainly does not work well with any garmin device and should not be trying to function with it. Let me give you some strong advice….
You do not need this app or any of its lousy software that comes with more problems than it’s worth.
