Bosch eBike Systems is further expanding the digital options for e-bikers. Heavy users, couples and families will benefit in particular. With the update to version 1.26, the eBike Flow app becomes a digital garage for up to six different e-bikes. Previously, it was annoying and inconvenient if you wanted to manage several Bosch e-bikes with the app. For example, your own and that of your partner or family members. At the same time, the manufacturer is launching its own Strava Club, which is aimed specifically at sporty e-bikers.
Digital garage for several e-bikes
The new version of the eBike Flow app allows users to manage up to six different eBikes in one account. After connecting the first eBike to the app, additional bikes can be added via a button on the home screen. There you will then find an overview of all registered eBikes, which can also be named individually. Bosch promises that it is possible to switch between models at any time, with settings such as individually configured riding modes and other preset functions being retained even after a change.
In order to be able to track the total kilometres travelled with the e-bikes and other ride data, the activity data under "Statistics" is linked to the account. Regardless of which bike was used for a tour, all journeys made are displayed here. The information on the home screen, on the other hand, always refers to the currently selected eBike. Practical: The premium services of the Flow+ subscription are purchased via the account and should then be available for all registered e-bikes.
The ability to manage several e-bikes in one app is particularly useful for users who use different types of e-bike for different purposes - such as an e-MTB for trail or mountain tours, an e-gravel bike for long sporty excursions and an e-cargo bike for everyday use.

Bosch eBike Systems launches Strava Club
In addition to expanding the app functionality, Bosch eBike Systems is further expanding its digital presence and launching its own Strava Club. This is aimed specifically at the sporty eBike community and should serve as a new point of contact. Members can look forward to challenges and events as well as inspiring favourite routes from Bosch athletes. The club will also serve as an information platform for product launches and feature updates.
In the "Bosch eBike Systems" Strava Club, bikers are given new challenges and can compete with others. As a member, you will always be up to date with the latest product innovations from Bosch. By integrating the popular fitness tracking platform Strava, Bosch aims to reach a broad target group of ambitious e-bikers.
