More than 50 manufacturers are already equipping their e-bikes with the Bosch system - currently with the "Classic+" mid-motor, which is still available. Two new product lines have been added to the portfolio: The "Performance Line" for a racy pace and the "Active Line" designed for harmonious riding behavior. In both new lines, an optimized sensor concept should ensure a vibration-free and quiet drive and an ideal coordination of the components for optimized ranges. "Performance Line" and "Active Line" are characterized by a uniform design language, but in two different color nuances. Bosch has been awarded this year's Red Dot Award for product design for the design of the new drives.

"Performance Line" for powerful, sporty riding
The Bosch system of the new "Performance Line" is designed for sporty and powerful riding, both when accelerating uphill and on flat terrain. The Drive Unit Cruise (25 km/h) and the fast Speed variant (45 km/h) are available as motors. The PowerPack 300 or the more powerful PowerPack 400 can be installed as a frame or rack battery.

"Active Line" for harmoniously coordinated support
The "Active Line" system is designed to offer particularly harmonious support. The Drive Unit Cruise is available as a motor, optionally equipped with a backpedal function. PowerPack 300 and PowerPack 400 can be installed as a frame battery or luggage rack battery

Optimized drive system in both new lines
The sensor concept has been further developed in the optimized Bosch eBike system of both new lines. According to Bosch, the new generation measures speed, power and acceleration in an even more differentiated, precise and frequent manner - 1000 times per second to be precise. This leads to reliable and at the same time sensitive rider request recognition based on the pedal force measurement as an input variable for the motor control. The fast processing of sensor signals and precise motor control also ensure a vibration-free and quiet drive.

A smaller chainring with fewer teeth improves chain guidance, for example in the event of strong vibrations in the terrain. This ensures safe chain running. A new gearbox arrangement optimizes the ground clearance and a flexible installation angle allows the drive unit to be better integrated into the design of the e-bike. The narrow drive unit now enables a narrower pedal spacing and therefore an even more ergonomic and comfortable ride.

In the two new lines, the torque is also reduced and increased again at exactly the right moment during shifting, resulting in a smooth shifting process. This takes the strain off the components and reduces wear.

Versatile display
The Intuvia on-board computer has a new design to match the lines: in anthracite in the "Performance Line" and platinum in the "Active Line". The display is also designed to enable high-precision distance measurements. E-bikers can also fine-tune the wheel circumference themselves at the touch of a button. A USB port on the display allows external hardware such as smartphones and MP3 players to be charged.
