How to fit the new Bosch Connect module 

Bosch should pay you for creating absolutely fabulous content about their products! I'm interested in buying the Connected Module, and this video explains this product well.

what a great idea, i have ordered one from my dealer, the only thing is really it should be supplied with anti theft screws for the cover otherwise the thief can then remove the cover with ease

Excellent video! Thanks! Answered all my questions regarding which unit to get and how, if, I could DIY. Great!

Since publishing this video it has become apparent that when replacing the motor cover after fitting the module it is too tight to re-fit. I can confirm at this point the models affected are Cube. Cube have stated that they have produced a new cover for the affected models and they will be available shortly. The item number for the new engine cover is #3819. For the Stereo Hybrid 160 in size S, the article number is #3706. Please can you place comments on any other manufactures that are suffering the same issues. Thanks TYBM

Thank you sir, very useful information.

Thanks! amazing video , helped a lot

Thank you for your content! You help me understand things better. There is not much information about the Bosch Connect Module, and I would like to figure it out. I would be grateful for your response. My question is: On the Bosch website, it was mentioned that the ConnectModule works with cellular communication. I didn't quite understand, if my bike is several kilometers away from me, will I not be able to see it on the map in my Flow app? Does this module require a SIM card?

Do you thiink that there is enough space for the Bosch connect Module and a speed unlock chip???

Great video! I am running into a problem now, I have a Riese and Muller bike that has a built in Tracker. Never activated it but would like to use the connect module instead. But there is only space for one of them under the motor cover. Question: the other tracker is connected to the battery, will never use it. Can I just cut it off or will this effect other parts connected to the battery? Thanks!

Good job friend

I have a Bosch Performance Line motor on a Canyon ON: Precede 6 (2023) which is Smart System equipped.. Thing is, when I pop the cover off I'm looking at a sealed unit with no exposed wires - nothing like how the motor in this video looks. I must need a completely different kind of install😥

Once again a great video, thank you. Just out of interest, did you encounter any problems refitting the motor cover? I have the Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 and was looking to buy the unit but was put off by comments on the web suggesting that the the cover could not be replaced with the module fitted! Your video does not show this step!

Hello can you post a video about abs brakes for ebikes particularly interested in shimano as they are able to sell them separately i think, as opposed to magura abs

Thanks for sharing this. After installing do you still need to go to the bike dealer for a special software update? Or is the module recognized by the flow app and I only need to enable the subscription?

Hello, nice video thanks. I have a Cube stereo hybrid pro 750 2023. With the module in place I can't replace the unit cover. Any suggestions please ? Thanks

Great informative video! I'm having a similar issue with the motor cover on the Victoria Tresalo 17 bike. After reaching out to the manufacturer they said don't have a suitable cover available and referred me to an universal Bosch cover (EB1120000Y). However this Bosch cover isn't a solution as there is an issue with one of the mounting points (frame partially covers the screw hole) and the visual aspect as the Bosch cover doesn't connects to the front/underside of the bike frame. According to the manufacturer for now there is only the Bosch motor cover or the option of relocating the Connect Module to another place on the bike. It seems I'll have to go for the relocation option. Too bad that bike manufacturers aren't able to foresee or resolve this kind of issues.

I wonder if I could retrofit this to Canyon Grail:On CF8 , which has Gen4 Performance Line motor. Doesnt say its a smart motor but are all Gen4 motors compatible ?

Hi I’m looking for a decent torque wrench for working on the bike, park prices are a little steep so would like your advice on a decent tool Many thanks Clive

it is nice and secure ready for person who nicks ur bike to get to really easy, i bet no disrespect i could take the plate of the side and just snip wires and thats it gps off, inless the unit comes battery backed up witch i would be surprised with, i put a cheap 5.99 ali express tracker on mine and its been mint it is hidden in the frame out of way and it would take at least 30 minst if not more to find it

thanks..very informative. I assume you now need to unpair the bike from your phone so the owner can pair with his/her own phone and ntiate the bike lock/alarm?

What happens when your main battery dies? is there a backup battery in the device itself? Also does it fit the older Kiox system?

can I use this smart system kiox 300 for bosch motor 2021?

I tried fitting this unit to a Scott Patron which has the inverted Bosch Ce motor. Took the motor cover off, took battery out even too little side panel off but can’t get anywhere near the wires. Do I have to take the motor out?

Hi Dave ! Have u fitted one of these to a trek rail yet ? Our Bosch rep said that the motor cover supplied from trek may not fit over the connect module ? Just wandered if you’d tried yet , cheers

Hi , can you have this traker and a spedbox in the housing unit , or can you you only have one item in there

Hi, I also tried on the same e-bike as you but the main problem is the cover :-(… not possible to cover the motor back! Finally we did it but the plastic cover is deformed! That is why I preferred to remove the module. Pls let us know when you find the solution. thx Roman

Le problème c'est qu'il y a un abonnement sinon ça ne fonctionne pas c'est ça ?

For all those who have the problem of the engine cover, I'm trying a bit expensive solution, that is the 3d printing of the modified hood. I turned to a shop that deals with 3d prints and it is not an impossible thing for them to do.

Quick question, if I do a self install does this affect the 2 years warranty of a Orbea Wild I've just purchased?

Will this fit a Haibike Trekking 11 with a performance line cx motor? Do I need a different cover?

Which module would fit into a performance line (75NM) motor please.

After i installed it exactly like that on my cube stereo hybrid hpc 2022 i couldnt put back on the plastic cover :/

I have cube reaction hybrid performance 625, and there is so little space i have to improvise to put unit in. There vas no space for holder and i bearly push it in, so i hope it will be ok after riding…

i aV A question for the price of these bikes ud think they would fit them at the factory, and nice 2 c u bak after covid

Hello, does anyone know what exact module fits the Haibike Trekking 8 High, model year 2024 engine (Performance CX)

how about fitting these on mondraker bikes ? my cover fouls on the unit , have you any updates ?

I emailed Cube yesterday regarding replacement motor cover for connect smart system and they have told me the following numbers #3706 for 27.5” and #3819 for 29” 140/160 stereo hybrid .Hope this helps

random how it does not show the cover put back on

I’ve just installed this onto my Cannondale moterra but the motor cover doesn’t allow for enough space to go over the module. I’ve tried contacting Cannondale about it but they are next to useless. Do you know if there’s a way of getting a cover to accommodate the model?

I've got a cube longtail cargo bike. The cover won't go back on. it is far too tight :(

Hi Dave, that's a lovely Border you have there, really handsome 🙂

Hi, do you currently have these in stock? Thanks Garry.

Installed mine 4 hours again but it still hasn’t connected to Bosch via gsm, just says it still setting up mobile connection

I cannot find any supplier for the dbu37 , where can I get one ?

I have just tried to fit one to my Orbea wild 2023. And the motor cover does not fit that either...

I just get the Bosch module Connect and I am very happy with this GPS alarm systèm, but the only bad point and almost a joke is the power of the alarm sound; it will not afraid even a fly...

Just a small thing about the alarm/tracker, it doesn’t fit with a Scott Patron, the frame is in the way, luckily I didn’t purchase it myself the local bike shop ordered it in

LATEST NEWS ON THE MOTOR COVER : Just been talking to CUBE ,,, latest news from them is that the new motor cover should be available in mid january. Merry Christmas

Anyone had any luck fitting one to a orbea Wild 2023?

Good video bosh module let’s see how good it is get someone to steal bike see app can find it like find my bike ?

This is all well and good if you have the up-to-the-minute motor, but come on Bosch what about all your other e-bike customers? Surely you can design a retrofit for them!!!

I wish I had this 4 days ago, my bike was just walked away with and after this I questioned why is there no GPS built right into these devices. If you don't build them in then they will just be removed like air tags or these other inside the bar ones. A $7000 bill just walked away. This is maybe a better solution as you don't have to pay for it unless you want it but its OEM and is hard to remove quickly. So if the bike is alarmed what does that mean? If someone touches it does an alarm go off. Is there some way to lock the motor so the peddles wont turn? Even a feature that would use the torque sensors to push the opposite way to stop them from peddling would be awesome! Some of these bikes stark at 10K so this is not an unrealistic solution and my insurance deductible is $1000 and I'm not guaranteed to get the full value for my bike back either! So well worth spending this money before hand

hello! nice gps :) can I found the bike with the system off?

the Bosch Connect module with a subscription of €40 per year should improve two important points: first of all a “theft insurance” subscription integrated into this subscription and on a technical level increasing the power of the alarm signal which is rather ridiculous

Good device. But something concerns me. What stops a thief just removing it?

anyone who fit it into Trek Rail gen 4?

Nice video, easy to follow, but people should move the ebike battery from the holder before doing this kind of jobs it might save something if something odd happens.

shame they didnt design for nyon controller too.

So if you haven’t got a smart 4 gen motor, this new security gizmo from Bosch offers absolutely zero security for your bike. Thank you Bosch.

Good product but the alarm sound is ridiculously inaudible

Keyless cars also suppose to be harder to steal 🤷🏻‍♂️

Bought one set it up, DOESNT WORK !!!

That seems a bit too easy to access, won't help much because thief can snap it so easily off

Not a fan of anything you have to pay for and then have to pay a monthly fee for.

Bosch think that thieves will “think it through “ and won’t steal a bike that has electronic protection…. It’s laughable.

Biketrax is an excellent product for non smart gen4 (12 months free subscription) then £6 pm
