The app gets regular updates and is easy to use. My main gripe is that it’s 2026 and the app still doesn’t support dark mode or have a dark icon option. Sort it out please, Bosch! ### 3/5 — Route planner favours city roads *2026-08-12* I enjoy the security functions of the Flow app so far for my e-Bike but I have yet to find the trip planner helpful as it constantly sets up my routes along busy high-traffic roadways for many of the routes I plan. I am nervous around car traffic and prefer bike trails to get around. **Developer response:** Hello pheddermax. Thank you for your feedback. It would be great if you could get in touch with our support contact@bosch-ebike.ca and give us the details of the routes you drive. Then we could discuss the possible improvements with our map provider. Your Bosch eBike Team ### 1/5 — Background Battery Iaseage *2026-08-12, version 1.36.6* This app is poorly coded or is spying. Even with background app refresh off and location access set to “while using” it still uses location and 7% of battery overnight. The only solution is to force close after each use or uninstall. ### 2/5 — Major bugs with unlocking *2026-08-07, version 1.36.6* I’ve been using the app for quite a while now, but it has severe issues with unlocking the bike which have to be addressed! I found myself with the bike locked in the rain and even with the app opened it did not want to unlock it! Please fix these bugs and make the flow work ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-08-02, version 1.36.6* It worked fine for years, now it’s decided not to track rides anymore. Nothing lasts… ### 1/5 — After 10 years this is the best you can do?? *2026-08-01, version 1.36.6* I’ve had a Haibike with a Bosch engine since 2016. The e-bike connect app was ok but not great. I was excited to get my new Moustache Xroad6 in 2026 with the new Bosch engine and it is a big improvement but the app if anything has gone backwards. The layout is appalling, the route planning is much worse. I used to complain it didn’t sort my favourite destinations in any order never mind alphabetically now you just can’t add favourite destinations! I suppose they have cornered the market so they don’t need to worrry about keeping customers happy. 🤷🏻‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Problème de connexion *2026-07-27* Bonjour, ça fait déjà plus d’un mois que je n’arrive plus à me connecter. J’ai apporté le vélo au magasin dépositaire et personne ne trouve de solution. C’est comme ça que je réalise que si l’appli ne fonctionne pas, je suis obligé d’aller au magasin pour faire un rebout, reset, mais le vélo ne fonctionne pas ni l’assistance. Bref mon vélo cargo ne fonctionne plus à cause d’un update d’application. Autre chose, je paye annuellement une app qui ne fait pas plus qu’un app gratuit, mais le vélo, je l’ai bien payé. L’application devrait être gratuite avec option de payer pour des fonctionnalités de plus. Je vous écris et je ne peux toujours pas utiliser mon vélo. Le moteur Bosch est exceptionnel, l’application ebike Flow, à améliorer et rendre gratuit pour les fonctionnalités de bases. Merci **Developer response:** Bonjour Benjo9724738990017. Grâce à des mises à jour régulières, votre eBike s'améliore constamment. Avec l'abonnement Flow+, vous bénéficiez de services premium supplémentaires. Nous vous proposons une phase de test gratuite. Ensuite, vous décidez si vous souhaitez continuer à payer pour les services intelligents supplémentaires. Nous aimerions aussi vous aider. Veuillez utiliser l'option de contact directement dans l'application (profil»Centre d'aide»Contacter l'assistance) afin que notre équipe reçoive automatiquement les données de votre application et puisse aller au fond du problème. ### 1/5 — Bad for battery, difficult to connect , poor support *2026-07-26, version 1.36.6* I had high expectations for a $5k+ e-bike, but even my budget chinese bikes have better features for security , charging , and troubleshooting The Flow app (sounds like Menstrual cycle manager ) constantly upsells for proper LoJack . It doesn’t have Find My support The app doesn’t support battery health management like schedules or charging limits . So every time you charge , the battery degrades . Bluetooth is unreliable . It doesn’t work while charging , or while the bike is off . So if you are upstairs you are SOL And the app doesn’t report issues. Even minor issues have to be checked by a dealer which takes a long time , a car and a lot of money. ## Frequently asked questions about eBike Flow ### What does the eBike Flow app do?

With the new version, you can share locations from other navigation apps, such as Google Maps, directly with the eBike Flow app. We’ve also made further improvements to the app. ### 1.36.6 — 2026-07-21 Thank you for using the eBike Flow app! In this version, we have only fixed minor bugs and made a few improvements. We hope you continue to enjoy your eBike. ### 1.36.5 — 2026-07-06 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).

Software optimizations give you more powerful propulsion and allow you to use maximum power for longer.(1-5) The maximum values available for your eBike depend on your drive unit and the approval of your eBike manufacturer. Your achievements in detail The annual overview in the Flow+ subscription is being expanded. You can now also analyze elevation, speed, power, cadence, riding mode usage, power share, and Trick Check data. (1) 120 newton meters of maximum torque, deviations possible depending on shifting system. Higher performance values also mean higher wear and lower range – we leave this individual decision up to you. The eBike manufacturer can limit the maximum torque in the factory settings. In the eBike Flow app, you can then only set the maximum torque defined by the manufacturer. Available from May 4, 2026 for the Performance Line CX-R (BDU386Y), Performance Line CX (BDU384Y) and Cargo Line (BDU384Y). The Performance Line CX-R (BDU386Y) is still supplied with the performance values 100 Nm, 750 watts, and 400% support as standard.

Deviations possible, depending on the battery. ### 1.34.6 — 2026-04-13 Your ride. Your statistics. Your story. More skills. More fun. Improve your skills and analyze your performance: Trick Check automatically recognizes and records the type of trick you are performing, whether Jumps, Stoppies, Manuals or Wheelies.* To help you improve your riding technique, you will receive direct feedback on the display and via an acoustic signal. During the ride, you can see the distance, duration, altitude or angle on your display for eight seconds. After a ride, you can view your top values in the eBike Flow app. The function is active by default on your Kiox 400C and Purion 400. ** On all other displays, you can activate the function at any time in the display settings*** as well as switch the signal tone on and off. The sensors are configured to only react to obvious tricks.**** Your heartbeat. Your performance. Make your training even more effective and analyze your heart rate after the ride. You can already connect your heart rate monitor to your eBike via Bluetooth and track your heart rate on your display during a ride.*** This data is saved straight to the eBike Flow app so you can evaluate your heart rate in detail in the statistics after the ride. To do this, go to the "Statistics" menu item in the eBike Flow app and select a ride. You can see your average heart rate and the progression of your heart rate during the ride. Save your favorites when planning your route, you can add places as favorites in the eBike Flow app - for example, your home, your workplace or the destination of your favorite ride. In the "Planning" menu item, up to three favorites can be added as navigation shortcuts using the new button on the map. Select it directly in the quick menu of your Ride Screen or your Kiox 300, Kiox 400C or Kiox 500 display on your next ride and start your route even more easily. eShift with Gearsensor Enjoy manual gear changes that feel beautifully smooth – no matter where you are traveling to. eShift supports mechanical hub and derailleur systems that are equipped with the GS gear shifting solution for manual gear shifting from Gearsensor. This briefly interrupts motor support while you are shifting gear, making gear changes feel more comfortable. The Gearsensor eShift solution is now stored in the eBike Flow app. You can find this function in the eBike Flow app settings under My eBike > eShift. Improvements for eBike Lock and Bluetooth connection In this version, we have improved other functions of the eBike Flow app. For example, if you use eBike Lock with your smartphone as a key, your eBike is unlocked twice as fast. We have also optimized the Bluetooth connection to your eBike to create more stability. *Trick Check works with the Performance Line CX (BDU384Y), Performance Line CX-R (BDU384Y), Performance Line CX Race (BDU374Y), Performance Line CX (BDU374Y) and Performance Line SX (BDU314Y) as well as on the following displays: Kiox 300, Kiox 400C, Kiox 500, Purion 200, Purion 400. **If Trick Check is not already active, it can be activated on the display under "Settings > Display > Trick Check". ***Not available for Intuvia 100 ****The minimum requirements for obvious tricks are: Jump (distance > 1.6 ft.
