However, there are other performance tweaks hidden in the update as well. The most noticeable effect is likely to be better hill-climbing performance and speedier acceleration. But suffice it to say that if a current increase is helping boost torque, then by definition it is also going to increase power. There’s no word on how much extra power the update will provide, likely because we’re all still pretending that every Bosch drive (and every other EU-spec e-bike motor) is a 250 W motor.


There, a Bosch-certified technician can perform the software update, increasing the torque of the motors from 75 Nm to 85 Nm. To take advantage of the software update, you’ll need to penetrate Bosch’s walled garden by visiting a Bosch-certified retailer. The software update will only apply to Bosch’s latest line of Gen 4 Performance CX, Cargo Line, and Cargo Line Speed electric bicycle motors. It’s a move straight out of Tesla’s playbook and should result in a number of happy Bosch-powered e-bike riders. Instead, the update is entirely software-based, unlocking more performance. The new update doesn’t require any physical modification of the bike or its Bosch e-bike system. Bosch has just announced a software update for its new line of e-bike motors that will result in a measurable boost of power and torque.
