In order to provide the best possible protection for electric bikes after they have been parked, Bosch is further expanding the theft protection for drives with the smart system with the latest update to its in-house app. The new eBike passport and theft report functions are designed to help protect eBikes from theft by making them easier to identify and quicker to report to the police thanks to simple data transfer. The time this saves increases the chances of recovering the eBike.

The digital eBike passport shows information about the e-bike at a glance. In addition to the information already stored on the components, documents or even a photo of the bike can be saved. This means that important information is available in detail - and not just in the event of theft. The eBike passport also helps with information if, for example, the insurance company or specialist dealer has questions about the eBike or if it is about to be resold.

If the eBike is actually stolen, the police can be informed easily and comprehensively using the new theft report function. The bike must be marked as stolen in the app and then guided through to the final theft report based on questions stored in the app. In addition to the time and place and a description of the incident, the feature also records personal data such as name and telephone number so that the police can contact the person concerned directly if necessary. All details about the e-bike are automatically taken from the information in the eBike Pass. The final theft report can be sent to the police as a PDF by email or printed out if required.
The two new functions eBike Pass and theft report complement tried-and-tested features such as the clever additional protection eBike Lock and the eBike Alarm service.
