Bosch batteries

Whether you use one or two batteries on your e-bike significantly influences your range and achievable climb in altitude. There are also other decisive factors: when it’s stop-and-go in the city, the range is shorter than with a constant journey over a longer distance – comparable with the fuel consumption of a car. If you find while you’re on a ride that your battery’s residual power is not going to be enough, you can reduce the level of assistance and thus still reach your destination comfortably.

The batteries are charged directly on the e-bike or, once removed, at any standard 110/220 V wall socket. There is no need to run the battery all the way down, because it can be charged in its partially charged state without any “memory effect”. The lifespan is 800 to 1,000 charging cycles. Thanks to the short charging times, the battery can be topped up well even during a lunch break, for example. A complete charge cycle with the included Bosch standard charger takes 3 to 7 hours, depending on the battery capacity.

We are looking for the right battery for every e-bike we develop. That’s why we fit one – or more – of three high-performance Bosch batteries: the frame battery, the carrier battery, or the fully integrated battery. Our DualBattery models use either two identical or two different batteries, resulting in different capacities and charging times. Even two fully integrated batteries can be easily removed using the same key: when they are unlocked, they can be pulled a few centimetres out of the frame for ease of removal.
