What is the Bosch eBike Electric Bike Maintenance Reminder Update?
It's basically a maintenance reminder and logging system that is stored directly to the motor. When we connect your bike to the diagnostic software (only available at trained and certified Bosch eBike Service Centres), the Bosch eBike software records all the information that your bike has been serviced (this helps to maintain the bike's warranty status, which as you know is 2 years for battery/electronics/motor). This also means that you have a tamper-proof way to show that your bike has been kept in good working order with the latest updates.
The dealer can then set the maintenance reminder on the timer to either the mileage (so a reminder to service the bike after, say, 1000 km) or a future date (say, after 3 months). We prefer to set the system every 3-6 months, as it is recommended that the bike is checked regularly and the latest software updates can really improve the user experience. Some of the past updates have included torque (Nm) increases, gear shift assist systems to help you select the most efficient gears, power reduction during gear changes and much more!
