Do Bosch make e-bikes?

Bosch do not make or sell complete e-bikes.

However, they do produce drive systems for e-bikes. The drive system is arguably the most important part of an e-bike, so Bosch have a key role in the e-bike industry.

An e-bike drive system has three main parts. So let’s consider each in turn.

• Motors
• Batteries
• Display/Controller

Bosch E-Bike Motors

Bosch only produces mid-drive e-bike motors (motors that sit between the pedals).

This makes Bosch e-bike motors well-suited to hilly conditions, as they can use the bike’s gears to increase torque.

Bosch motors are also known for high-quality pedal pressure sensing. This means you’ll get smooth and natural-feeling assistance from the motor when you push the pedal. So it’s extremely easy to adapt to cycling a Bosch e-bike, even if you’ve never cycled an e-bike before.

Bosch motor options include Active Line, Active Line Plus, and Performance Line.

Bosch E-Bike Batteries

Bosch e-bike batteries come in various shapes for mounting on the bicycle frame, inside the bicycle frame, or on a rack over the rear wheel. However, they all share the same lithium-ion chemistry for a high power-to-weight ratio.

The capacity of Bosch e-bike batteries ranges from about 300 Wh to 750 Wh. Range depends on many factors, including your riding style, weather, hills, and more. But as a rough guide, the smallest battery should be good for around 40 km of range, while the largest battery will assist you for around 100 km on a single charge.

Bosch E-Bike Displays/Controllers

Bosch e-bike controllers are typically straight-forward and simple. They show information on battery charge level, speed, and distance. And they can be used to set the power assistance level from the motor and turn on the lights. Bosch e-bike controllers also typically have a backlight, so you can easily read the screen at night.
