Catrike E-Cats Coming With Bosch Smart System For 2025

What does that even mean?

This is an overview of the Smart System concept. Details will come in later articles.

As I understand it, Bosch felt they needed to change the underlying architecture of the e-bike system to clear roadblocks that were holding back future upgrades they are planning. The idea of the new Smart System is to allow more e-bike owner control of the system and to make future upgrades easy to implement.

 The key to this is the Bosch eBike Flow App. Downloading the App and setting up a SingleKey ID account allows the bike owner to do firmware updates via Bluetooth, customize how the different levels of assist  function, allows on-board navigation and route planning on your phone or an optional Kiox 300 or 500 screen, see typical cycle computer information like speed, distance traveled, maximum speed and shows how much distance the battery can take you at its current charge level. Plus, much more…

Do you need to master this app to use your new Catrike? Not at all. You can just push the “on” button, toggle the +/- switch to tell it the amount of help you want, and take off on your ride.

The two main benefits of the Smart System are: it allows “power users” to mess around with the settings of their new trike and add cool features if they want, and, it allows Bosch to come out with additional features as they come up with new ideas in the future.

We will be adding video and more in-depth details to help you navigate the Bosch Smart system. Stay tuned.
