Description
With the eBike Connect app, you can customise your eBike experience: connected, individual and interactive. Connect your Nyon or Kiox via Bluetooth with your smartphone and flexibly plan your routes, use the navigation via your display, track your activities or protect your eBike from theft with the premium function eBike Lock. The eBike Connect app offers you many helpful functions for your eBike with the Bosch eBike system 2.
Please note: This app can only be used for eBikes with Bosch drive units and Nyon or Kiox on-board computers with Bosch eBike system 2.
Route planning and navigation
Use the flexible route planning and navigation of eBike Connect. You can conveniently plan your rides and customise, import or share routes. If you synchronise with Komoot and Outdooractive, you can discover even more exciting routes. In addition, eBike Connect app suggests your routes that fit your preferences and mood (fast, scenic or eMountainbike). If you start your planned route in the app, it will be transmitted to your display or on-board computer.
Activities and fitness
From distance and duration to calories burned: view and evaluate all details of your eBike rides. Connect the eBike Connect app with Apple Health, Komoot or Strava and your activities are automatically synchronised. As an Apple Watch user, you can train even more effectively by tracking your heart rate while riding.
Help Center
Our Bosch eBike Help Center provides answers to your questions about your eBike. Here you will find FAQs, videos, and user manuals. To ensure that you always have access to the latest functions and improvements, we recommend that you update your Nyon or Kiox to the latest software version. You can find out how to update the software on your device here: https://www.bosch-ebike.com/en/help-center/ebike-connect
Settings
In the settings, you can customise your display screens or link eBike Connect with Komoot, Strava or Apple Health.
Premium functions for more security and personalisation
- With eBike Lock, you can park your eBike in a more relaxed way: The premium function offers additional protection against thieves. As soon as you disconnect the on-board computer, the eBike's drive unit no longer provides support, deterring thieves.
- With the premium function "Individual riding modes", you can personalise your Bosch eBike and set the drive unit’s support individually.
- Based on topographical conditions and the selected support level, the eBike Connect app calculates your remaining range.

These values apply to the current month. The differences to the previous month are now indicated by arrows below the total values.

Ratings and Reviews
See AllOverall pretty good - some data issues
Love the app as it syncs data from my NYON easily. However, there are some overall data issues. E.g. when exporting data to Strava, BOSCH eBike Connect will show me 150W average user power and after export, Strava will show 33W avg user power. Also, when exporting data in GPX format from the portal and while selecting the summary data incl all segments of the day, the portal will only export the 1st segment. I’ll use the app for sync from NYON for the most part. Everything else is pretty much done through the web portal. Also, wished I could switch metric and imperial.
Love NYON and wished there would be a better community engagement from BOSCH’s UX and Dev teams.
Needs work
The Bosch Performance CX motor and Kiox are great. However this APP is really, Really bad.
First, one never knows if the ride is going to get synced to the phone app. So I’ve lost many rides for lack of a sync. It ought to do it or give me a way to do it when I e stopped.
Secondly, there is so much data available that doesn’t get to the app, ascent/descent, power used, batter Wh used should all be available. This isn’t hard to do and you should have this fixed by now. Once the kiox resets the ride all that data is lost. For serious riders, we need to know how far, how fast, how much elevation did we climb, how much power did we use in Watts and how much of the battery was consumed. This will allow us to make better judgements about what trails we can ride without running out of power at the bottom of a hill before we start riding. The range is helpful but I want to figure it out before I get on the dirt.
Please please please fix this. I have to attach my Garmin to the bars just to track all of this amd then manually record how much of the battery was used on every ride.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your feedback. As per ascent and descent that feature isn’t available for Kiox. It’s a Nyon feature. Both displays use the same app, but with different functions. If you have any technical queries you may want help with, please send us an e-mail to: contact@bosch-ebike.co.uk.
Please bring bike battery complication to the Apple Watch!
My experience has been consistent with many of the reviews here. I don’t bother complaining to much because Bosch has clearly divided value into different products. And this one fits awkwardly somewhere in between „dumb“ and „smart“ concerning its capabilities. In order to get a „smarter“ experience you have to upgrade hardware and software. But that’s a rabbit hole I won’t go down. As the trend seems to be that they will try and get you to keep upgrading your bike computer as often as your iPhone and Apple Watch. And for me, that’s just not gonna happen.
I’m writing this review to advocate for a feature I consider low hanging fruit even for this system. We get a widget showing the last battery level, which is super convenient. And I would love to see an Apple Watch complication for the same.
