Electric bicycle technology and specialized models expand market reach
The electric bicycle market continues to expand across various demographics, driven by advancements in smart technology and specialized model designs.
Bosch is enhancing the e-bike experience through its eBike Flow App, which integrates navigation, safety, and training features. Recent updates allow for improved route planning, including the ability to save favorite destinations and add waypoints. The system also supports spontaneous destination changes via the bike's display or remote controls.
For recreational riders, the Giant Talon E+ 3 29er offers a budget-friendly hardtail option. It features a Giant SyncDrive Core motor developed with Yamaha, providing 50 Nm of torque, and a 400 Wh battery.

Specialized models are also being developed to assist seniors in maintaining mobility. Options like the Tern NBD S5i and the Centurion Easy R900i EP1 focus on safety and ease of use, featuring low step-through frames, upright seating positions, and powerful Bosch motors to assist with hills and long distances.
