Product news: From the middle of the year, Bosch eBike Systems will be offering e-bikers a smart security function called "Battery Lock" that is designed to better protect the e-bike battery from theft. As soon as "Battery Lock" is activated in the eBike Flow app, the battery will automatically lock when the e-bike is turned off. If a locked battery is inserted into another e-bike with the smart system, it will automatically deactivate its motor support and render the entire e-bike unusable for the thief.
Anyone who decides to buy an e-bike wants to protect it as best as possible against theft. Removable e-bike batteries such as the Bosch PowerTube or PowerPack are mechanically secured with a lock. To make it even more difficult for thieves, Bosch eBike Systems is now extending its digital theft protection to batteries. The Bosch "Battery Lock" function ensures that the e-bike battery can no longer be used if it is stolen - and is therefore worthless to thieves. The new e-bike solution thus complements the digital theft protection portfolio in the smart system around "eBike Lock" and "eBike Alarm".
Bosch “Battery Lock”: Compatible with all batteries or battery combinations in the smart system
Several digital keys can be used for "Battery Lock" at the same time: the smartphone with the eBike Flow app and Kiox 300 or Kiox 500. With the eBike Flow app, these digital keys can be managed flexibly and "Battery Lock" can also be switched off if you want to share the battery with friends or family, for example. "Battery Lock" is also compatible with all batteries or battery combinations in the smart system and also works with DualBatteries and the PowerMore 250 range extender. "Battery Lock" can be installed over-the-air as usual on any Bosch e-bike with the smart system via the eBike Flow app and will be available from summer 2025 in the paid Flow+ subscription.
