The term "Uphill Flow"  is anchored in the DNA of Bosch eBike Systems - and has managed to describe in just two words what the fascination of e-mountain biking is all about. "Uphill Flow stands for the fascination of exploring the technical possibilities of riding uphill, playing with physics and having fun on an e-mountainbike, even uphill," says Claus Fleischer, CEO of Bosch eBike Systems. Together with ex-trial pro Stefan Schlie, he defined the term in 2014. Out of curiosity, the two rode technical trails uphill together and quickly realized: "If only a fraction of mountain bikers think it's as cool as we do, it could become something really big."

What began as an idea after a day on the trail together has become a success story that has added an essential dimension to the sport of mountain biking: uphill. The Uphill Flow has led to a further development of mountain biking that focuses on the overall experience and not just the descent. "The Uphill Flow turned everything that wasn't fun without an 'e' into an experience - steep climbs peppered with obstacles, root passages or steps," continues Fleischer.
