    Bosch Flow App - News & Updates

    It was said ‘bumped up TURBO‘, not any random mode. There are four different parameters that can be modified for any mode. Assistance, which is the one most everybody changes to get more power and which has a range from -5 to +5 Dynamic with a range from -5 to +5 Maximum torque, which is...

    Bosch Flow App - News & Updates

    Has nothing to do with where it appears in the list. The main difference between the Bosch modes is the support factor aka assistance. There are four classic modes which have been available for many years and all of them have a static support factor. ECO with 60% support TOUR with 140%...

    Bosch Flow App - News & Updates

    When the Flow App was introduced I sent an email to Bosch asking how the + values for support worked. Bosch comfirmed in writing that one cannot raise the support level above the technical max of 340% (for a regular CX motor). You can now find that information somewhere in the help FAQs on their...

    Bosch Flow App - News & Updates

    TURBO cannot be bumped up. The factory setting for support is 340% and therefore maxed out. Any + value in TURBO has no effect.

    Bosch Flow App - News & Updates

    Which mode are you referring to - SPORT? Setting that to +3/+3 would give you nearly TURBO. Definitely more than ‚quite subtle assistance‘.

    Bosch Flow App - News & Updates

    You make it sound easy and I agree. But maybe the bug is a problem for the Flow App to identify the version of the eMTB mode correctly as ‚regular‘ or ‚short crank‘.

    Bosch Flow App - News & Updates

    The listed order is random or more likely depends on which mode was installed first. The missing ‚short crank‘ label is a known bug in the updated Flow App. Bosch is working on a fix.

    I'm confused...how do you know mileage on a bike???

    As mentioned above, on all Bosch motors the mileage and hours are logged on the motor unit and can’t be reset. The counters increase when the system is turned on, which means you could ride with the system completely off (not only drive mode off) without adding miles or hours. To read the...

    TQ hpr50 firmware updates

    A short update to the practical use of the new features. On my wife’s bike which had all TQ components updated to newest firmware end of November 2023 the new features do not work. :confused: From a small pop-up tip I learned that the TQ components need to be on the latest available firmware...

    EMTB mode Bosch gen4 cx

    Yes. No. The eMTB mode reacts solely to rider input and dynamically moves the support factor between 140% (TOUR) and 340% (TURBO) up and down. To give you an indication how hard you need to work: To reach the maximum of 340% support you will need to input over 190 W when the regular eMTB mode...

    Project to enable Bosch + Garmin integration

    Bosch uses BLE. The problem is much more basic: Bosch simply doesn’t broadcast any relevant sensor data over BLE based on an industry standard format. They use a proprietary format which only their own displays can read and prefer cable connection over wireless.

    New e bike with bosch motor....

    No. The bankruptcy thing where mostly online bike and parts dealers all owned by an Austrian investor. Of the ten largest bike manufacturers worldwide Cube is no 5 by revenue. In 2022 they had just over 1 billion EUR revenue and they are family owned.

    Bosch Flow App - News & Updates

    Before the recent app update you couldn’t see which version of the eMTB mode was installed. The app only showed eMTB. As long as you didn’t see a dealer and had him check in the Bosch diagnostics software you stayed in the dark. Now, after the app update on iOS you know, on Android you will...

    Bosch Flow App - News & Updates

    Of course it did. You could have gone to the next LBS and have him activate eMTB short crank at any time. I had it activated on my CX at the beginning of 2018. Also, some bikes are delivered with short crank mode from the factory.
