Activity tracking
In order to record activities, you must be registered
with and logged into the eBike Connect portal or the
eBike Connect app.
To record activities, you must consent to the storage
of your location data either in the portal or in the app.
Without this, your activities will not be shown in the
portal or the app. The position is only recorded if you
as a user are logged into the on-board computer.
eShift (optional)
eShift is the integration of electronic gear-shifting
systems into the eBike. The eShift components are
electrically connected to the drive unit by the manu-
facturer. The separate operating instructions de-
scribe how to operate the electronic gear-shifting sys-
tems.
eSuspension (optional)
eSuspension is the integration of electronic shock ab-
sorption and suspension elements into the eBike.
Predefined settings for the eSuspension system can
be selected in the Quick Menu.
For details of these settings, please refer to the oper-
ating instructions provided by the eSuspension man-
ufacturer.
eSuspension is only available in combination with the
Kiox on-board computer and can only be used with
the BDU450 CX, BDU480 CX and BDU490P drive
units.
Lock (premium function)
The lock function is available to purchase from
the <Shop> in the eBike Connect app. Once the lock
function is switched on, the assistance from the eBike
drive unit is deactivated by removing the on-board
computer. Activation is then only possible via the on-
board computer that is associated with the eBike.
More detailed instructions regarding this can be
found in the online operating instructions at
www.Bosch-eBike.com/Kiox-manual.

Software updates
Software updates are transferred from the app to the
on-board computer in the background as soon as the
app is connected with the on-board computer. If an
update has been fully transferred, this is shown three
times upon restarting the on-board computer. The
update can then be started. The eBike should not be
used during the update.
Alternatively, you can check for the presence of any
updates via <Sys settings> and then start these.
Powering external devices from the USB
port
The USB port can be used to operate or charge most
devices that can be powered via USB (e.g. various
mobile phones).
Charging requires the on-board computer to be
mounted and a sufficiently charged eBike battery to
be inserted in the eBike.
Open the protective cap (17) for the USB port on the
on-board computer. Use the Micro A–Micro B USB
charging cable (available from your Bosch eBike
dealer) to connect the USB port of the external device
to the USB port (6) of the on-board computer.
Once the electrical load has been disconnected, the
USB port must be carefully resealed with the protec-
tive cap (17).
A USB connection is not a watertight plug con-
u
nection. When cycling in wet conditions, ensure
no external devices are connected and that the
USB port is fully covered by the protective
cap (17).
Attention: Any electrical devices connected can re-
duce the range of the eBike.
