Getting Started With The Bosch eBike Flow App

Unfortunately have the old Bosch purion display but cool to see advancements in Bosch tech not sure if upgrade possible thanks for sharing 😁

I don't get why Bosch doesn't allow you to connect to your bike computer (Sigma (in my case), Garmin, whatever). Like this you always have to use your phone for tracking or navigation, draining the battery even faster.

Is the smartphone grip required to use the navigation function or will the app work with the phone mounted on, say, a quadlock?

I am sorry but the Bosch system is hopeless for activity tracking since there is no internal GPS/GNNS sensor. It's extremely disappointing that they could release a system without this sensor. Even my Suunto watch from 2012 has an internal GPS sensor! Relying on a mobile phone is extremely unmodern and unprecise.

The customisation of the modes is useful but the ride tracking only works well when you have decent mobile signal, which you probably won't if you ride anywhere outside of of a built up area. It's also useless if you own more than one ebike since you can only link one bike to your phone. All things considered, it's a rubbish app.

No GPS, no objective value for the tuning, no communication with Garmin, dimension and location of the display unusable on a real MTB….many hopes for the next release

Set your wheel size as small as possible. You'll gain about 1or2 mph 😁

Just got a Canyon Grizl:On and the bike is awesome. This Bosch system is horrible, though. The system won’t stay stable with my HR monitor. When it is stable, the HR data doesn’t upload to Strava and the Bosch ride info doesn’t keep it. The distance to empty info is never accurate.
It’s nice to be able to tune the modes but the parameters aren’t very intuitive and have a huge impact on battery life. Lastly, when is the auxiliary battery going to be available in the U.S?

25km/h handbrake is really frustrating

The Bosch smart system flow app isn't that smart to be honest.
I have a Trek rail with the smart system and the module you need to fit to enable the alarm and tracking will not fit unless you completely remove the motor armour and that voids the warranty.
So the flow alarm system with tracking is a complete waste of time and does not allow all owners to completely use the system.

Question about the worderful Flow app: how can I add multiple bikes under the same app installation?😂😅

Sucked my phone battery dry in two hours.

I have a Canyon Grizl:on and the Bosch app is terrible… if I’d have known it doesn’t talk to other eco systems like Garmin, I wouldn’t have bought the bike.. definitely a buyer beware with the Bosch system, certainly for anybody who dis multi sports and wants a single source of metrics… it’s such a shame really

Please do another video on display customization!

To be useful bikes should come with wireless phone charging systems directly connected to bikes own power. Everyone is stuffing bottle tool holders with usb power banks and sps connect type holders. Adjusting power settings is a bit gimmicky and academic when type approval limits exist. Americans may find it more useful.

Son, I will tell you only one word: PINION

Flow Plus subscription is $5.99/month. That right there means I will never buy one of these bikes. If you need a subscription to make the bike alarm work, you never really own your bike.

This is from Bosches site: If you cancel your Flow+ subscription, you can continue to use eBike Alarm until the end of the selected payment period. The functions are only deactivated after expiry. If you buy a Flow+ annual subscription, for example, you can cancel it at any time and continue to use it until the expiry date.

Cheers for updating this Bosch Smart System video, it was needing it! All the rest are in German. I left a comment not long ago asking if you could do a new video, so thanks, much appreciated. The UK guy's need it the auto translation is cr*p l on yt lol

The range control is good i teated it out yesterday and the new screen picking for the purion 200 now direct from the app was definitely needed so that was good to see!

I updated my new eMTB with the Purion 200 and Kiox 500. It was mainly for riding to the trails navigation but the difference from the 300 is worth the upgrade i keep it on with the purion 200 its a perfectwee system having your speed and battery on the purion 200 and the info upfront over stem i now prefer it with the kiox 500 on! and they're cheap right now with overstocked items in bike shops selling them separately! I got both for £120 from mine a couple weeks ago! The Kiox 500 is a lot faster coming on and scrolling, and it plays sound for navigation through the speaker on the back!

Thats half of the new update anyway shown lol

thanks however you really breezed through some things and put too much time on b-roll.. I'll have to find another video that only shows "getting started" information in more detail and setup examples..

Are these ride data beeing stored in a memory in the bike? Or do we need the the app open and connected during the ride?

25kmh sigh

The ebike flow app will stitch you right up if you're derestricted guys, don't friggin use it.
And never ever buy Bosch again, because what kind of a company puts R&D time into catching out their customers who've decided to do what they want with their purchase?
Seriously who does that?!
It's actually dangerous putting us into limp mode and of course you bastz charge us to reset the bike too....
Never again...
Bafang don't do that to their customers do they?

It teaches about TRACks that we're going to laugh for a while.

Do you use any app to configure your eBike already?
