Operation For the ConnectModule to function, a functioning GPS and mobile connection are prerequisites. The ConnectModule has motion sensors, a global navigation satellite system and mobile communications.

This means the ConnectModule can identify suspicious movements of the eBike, determine the local position of the eBike and generate a local alarm. Positions and movement data are displayed to the owner of the eBike in the eBike Flow app.

The ConnectModule thereby also facilitates other services, such as , which is provided for the end customer in the eBike Flow app. Additional information regarding the individual services of the eBike Flow app are provided in the app.

Costs may be incurred for use of these services. Details are displayed in the eBike Flow app.

Starting Operation

As soon as a ConnectModule is installed in an eBike, it can be activated once via the eBike Flow app.

Services such as can be activated and used via the eBike Flow app.

Depending on the smartphone’s operating system, the eBike Flow app can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple App Store and the Google Play store.

Use your smartphone to scan the code in order to download the eBike Flow app.

The ConnectModule services can be deactivated at any time via the eBike Flow app. The user can reactivate all services as long as the user has a valid activation.

Deactivation of the ConnectModule itself is not provided.

Switching On and Off

The ConnectModule does not have to be switched on or off separately.

As long as the ConnectModule is supplied with voltage and the relevant services are activated, it sends data to the bicycle owner.

The ConnectModule has a internal battery in order to be able to provide the services independently of the eBike battery. The internal battery’s state of charge can be viewed via the eBike Flow app. If the internal battery’s state of charge is critical, an eBike battery should be inserted and the Bosch eBike charger should be connected.

Maintenance and servicing

Maintenance and Cleaning
The ConnectModule is maintenance-free. In the event of damage or failure, contact an authorised specialist dealer directly. If services are not functioning despite being activated, contact your bike dealer directly, from whom you purchased the ConnectModule. If you are handing in your eBike to a bicycle dealer for maintenance, it is recommended that you temporarily deactivate the services, and . This prevents false alarms.

Transport
As soon as you transport your eBike (e.g. in a vehicle trailer, train, aeroplane, etc.), we recommend deactivating all individual services or activating the function. This also deactivates any ConnectModule communication. This will allow you to prevent false alarms.
