Bosch eBike Systems at 3 Peaks Cycles

Bosch eBike Systems is the division of Bosch Group that specialises in electric‑bike drive systems — not complete bicycles, but the motors, batteries, electronics and digital components that power e‑bikes. Launched in 2009 as a start‑up within Bosch and drawing on the company’s experience in electric motors, battery technology from power tools, and sensor/electronics know‑how from the automotive industry, Bosch eBike Systems introduced its first e‑bike drive unit around 2011. Since then, it has evolved into one of the world’s most trusted suppliers of e‑bike propulsion systems, and today powers bikes from over a hundred bicycle brands globally.

At its core, Bosch’s offering is modular: a complete “system” typically includes a drive unit (motor and gearing), a battery (which may be frame‑integrated or rack‑mounted), and a control/display unit or onboard‑computer interface — often paired with a companion smartphone or app for extra functionality. This system is designed to cover a wide variety of use‑cases: from relaxed urban commuting and everyday transport, to trekking, cargo‑bike use, and high‑performance riding like e‑mountain biking.

More recently, Bosch has pushed into “connected mobility” — adding digital tools, smart‑system integration, and advanced features to enhance convenience, safety and long‑term user experience. Their goal is to make e‑biking not just a mechanical experience, but a seamless part of modern mobility: reliable, efficient, and adaptable across contexts — whether daily commuting, weekend excursions, or rugged trail rides.
