Operation
The connect module requires a working GPS and mobile data connection in order
to function. The connect module incorporates movement sensors, a global
satellite navigation system, and mobile communications. These enable the
ConnectModule to identify suspicious movements of the eBike, establish the
location of the eBike and sound an alarm on
the bicycle itself.
Position and movement data is displayed to the owner of the eBike through
the app eBike Flow. The ConnectModule provides additional services, such
as < eBike Alarm>, which is available to the end customer in the app
eBike Flow. More detailed information about the individual services of the
app eBike Flow can be found in the app itself.
Charges apply for the use of some services. Details can be found in the app
eBike Flow.
Start-up
As soon as a ConnectModule is installed on an eBike, it can be activated
through the app eBike Flow. This is only necessary once.
Services such as the < eBike Alarm> can be activated and used through the
app eBikeFlow.
Depending on the operating system of the smartphone, the eBike Flow app
can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple App Store or Google Play
Store.

Scan the code with your smartphone to download the eBike Flow app.
The services of the ConnectModule can be deactivated at any time through the
app eBike Flow. Provided the user has a valid activation, they will be
able to reactivate all services. There is no means of deactivating the
ConnectModule itself.
Switching on/off
The ConnectModule does not need to be switched on or off separately.
Provided the ConnectModule has a power supply and the relevant services are
activated, it will send data to the bicycle owner.
The ConnectModule has its own internal battery, so its services are not
dependent on the eBike battery’s state of charge. The charge level of the
internal battery can be viewed through the app eBike Flow. 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 Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
The ConnectModule requires no maintenance. In the event of damage or fault,
contact an authorized dealer directly. If services are not functioning despite
being activated, please get in direct contact with the bicycle dealer from
whom you bought the ConnectModule.
If you hand over your eBike to a bicycle dealer for maintenance, it is
recommended to temporarily deactivate the < eBike Lock> and < eBike
Alarm> services. This will prevent alarms from being falsely triggered.
Transport
Whenever you transport your eBike (e.g. in a car trailer, on a train or plane, etc.), we recommend deactivating all the individual services or activating the < Transport mode>. This will then deactivate any communication from the ConnectModule. This will prevent alarms being falsely triggered.
After-sales service and advice on using products
If you have any questions about the eBike system and its components, contact
an authorized bicycle dealer.
