Bosch eBike Systems
What is an eBike system?
The electric drive of the eBike, the display with the matching control unit and the battery are components that make an eBike. They are supplemented by digital services and apps. In a system, all components communicate with each other and adjust to your particular riding situation. So you ride more efficiently, more comfortably and with more riding fun.

When purchasing used batteries, it is essential to ensure that these are taken on without any damage from their previous owner. Damaged batteries are offered online from time to time; these pose a high risk and can lead to dangerous malfunctions. Sometimes, illegal goods e.g., from thefts, are offered online as well. No ownership can be legally acquired in such goods in accordance with section 935 of the German Civil Code.
