The Bosch Connect Module
The Bosch ConnectModule is an important component in enhancing the digital connectivity and security features of Bosch eBikes.
The module does not come fitted as standard on Riese and Müller ebikes and must be installed by a specialist dealer. (We have installed many of them)
Once fitted, the concealed module facilitates seamless interaction between the eBike and the eBike Flow app, providing riders with real-time data, navigation, and various smart features.
Specifically, it enables the innovative eBike Alarm system, which automatically activates upon turning off the eBike, providing both acoustic and visual alerts if unauthorized movement is detected. Additionally, it assists in tracking and locating the eBike in case of theft.
