E-Performance: With the new Tour+ riding mode, Bosch relies on dynamic, stepless support, as it did with the EMTB mode. Because the required degree of support is automatically derived from the force applied. The new mode is available for e-bikes with a Bosch Performance Line CX drive built in 2020 or later.
The new Tour+ riding mode from Bosch eBike Systems offers pedelec riders dynamic, stepless support depending on their own effort. This eliminates the need to manually switch between the common drive modes. The new riding mode is designed especially for sporty tours: With Tour+, eBikers pedal a little harder on flat routes than with the well-known Tour mode. The driving mode saves energy thanks to the higher personal output and extends the radius for extended excursions. Tour+ challenges sporty riders and rewards their somewhat greater effort with a longer range.
Natural driving experience thanks to sensitive motor support
Sensors on the motor measure important riding data more than 1.000 times per second, from which the Tour+ riding mode derives the optimal support for eBikers. The additional power is dosed sensitively, resulting in a natural driving experience. The level of support varies dynamically and steplessly between the Eco and Turbo driving modes. Tour+ allows eBikers maximum comfort in different riding situations and ensures that they can fully focus on the ride.
"With the Tour+ riding mode, eBikers who would like to exert a little more effort and put more effort into the pedals receive a comfort-oriented and range-optimized support level," explains Claus Fleischer, Managing Director of Bosch eBike Systems. “There is no need to switch between the familiar modes, the rider can devote himself entirely to his eBike experience and enjoy maximum riding pleasure. The system supports a little more discreetly on flat and easy routes to allow more kilometers. If necessary, the support is adapted to the situation on the pedal pressure in order to overcome inclines.”
The Tour+ riding mode will be available from July 2021 for eBikes with the Bosch Performance Line CX from model year 2020 and derailleur gears.
