At last! A new Bosch controller!

I would be happy having that on its own (no display) instead of the venerable Purion...

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Same motor hardware for 2022 (but with new electronics / fittings) - Performance CX Gen4. Can now use the FLOW app to customise the modes.

Bosch are promising content updates with this new smart system

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

The Powertube 750 is the only battery compatible with the Smart System. Not backwards compatible - it has a new battery connector.

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

- New system can be used with or without the Kiox 300 display.

- Old systems cannot use the new flow app.

Bikes with the new system will hit the market this year.

Is there still a port on the kiok to be able to charge the smartphone while riding ?

New App

Will the new Kiox work on 2020 and 2021 motors?

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Will the new Kiox work on 2020 and 2021 motors?

Negative. They claim that they had to start on a new system from the ground up.

 

[Doomanic]

What are the dimensions of the 750Wh battery?

What are the dimensions of the 750Wh battery?

Same width and height but longer. And also has a new battery connector.

Well done Bosch, you’ve just Spesh’d all existing owners.
To make the motor that isn’t even 2 years old effectively obsolete is quite an achievement.

It doesn’t surprise me at all that it’s not backwards compatible unfortunately. Keep the wheels of consumerism rolling

Shame. The controller (not the kiox) and app is all you’d need and I’d be happy to pay to upgrade if I could

Saying that though, the new controller looks larger than the current Purion, has blingy bright LED’s (prefer LCD) and doesn’t display your speed

 

[Doomanic]

I’d agree except Bosch don’t sell bikes. They have frozen out a massive revenue stream of people with nearly new bikes who aren’t ready, can’t justify or can’t afford a new bike bike but could be tempted to upgrade to get better connectivity or adjustability on their current bike.

It's good you can use it without the Kiox, shame the controller is still too bulky.

The new controller looks like it belongs on this…

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

finally.. if they had that customisable power / ride feature already I would have been way more likely to go with a bosch motor'd bike

True. I’m sure they could have designed backwards compatibility though and made the decision not to

Thinking about it, if current Bosch motors were capable of customising the power modes, all I’d do is increase the power on all modes and as result decrease overall range, so sometimes less is more!

 

[stratosa]

Is new CX motor and 750Wh battery still 36Volts?
If it is 48V, thats the answer why is not backwards compatible.

What the f*** is that ? ? Reminds me of a sound box I had on my bike as a child. I had police sirens, machine gun noises and motorbike engine sounds ??
