Bosch 2017: A display made for e-mountainbikes
2-in-1 solution: display and remote in one device
Unlike the Bosch eBike on-board computers Intuvia and Nyon, which are each equipped with a remote control unit near the handlebar grip, Purion is a 2-in-1 solution: display and remote are combined in one device, which enables convenient and safe operation using the thumb on the left-hand side of the handlebar and also provides the most important functions. The support levels can be set with easy-to-use buttons (Off, Eco, Tour, Sport, Turbo). The display should be easy to read from any angle and provides information on speed, total kilometers, range and distance.
Design plus functionality
"With Purion, we are consistently pursuing our path. We develop individual solutions for different needs and requirements. Not every e-biker needs functions such as navigation, fitness tracking or a centrally located control unit on their bike. Some prefer tidy handlebars with a purist design," says Tamara Winograd, Head of Marketing and Communication at Bosch eBike Systems. A more compact display also suits e-mountain bikers who ride on rougher terrain.
Less exposed
In the event of a fall, a Nyon or Intuvia display is so exposed that it can easily break. The new, smaller and less exposed display will therefore be fitted as standard on many e-mountainbikes in the future.
Pushing assistance can also be activated via the Purion, and the lighting system can also be switched on and off. The backlighting in the display makes it easy to read.
According to Bosch, the new on-board computer will be available from specialist dealers in combination with the Active Line and Performance Line motor variants in time for the 2017 season.
