E-bike accessories
E-bikes have taken the market by storm. These versatile and reliable bikes expand horizons and possibilities, and have become popular not only with hobby and recreational riders, but also for commuting and fitness, and even with professional athletes. With a variety of accessories and upgrades, an e-bike can easily be converted into a cargo bike, a touring bike, or an environmentally friendly replacement for a car. A multifunctional display, an additional battery or a quick charger are further useful options. We offer products from Bosch and Focus that are the perfect match for the corresponding bikes.
Batteries
The current generation of lithium-ion batteries is significantly more robust, powerful and durable than it was just a few years ago. Capacities of around 500 Wh guarantee extremely long ranges, and the design with integrated protective covers ensures maximum durability. Extreme temperatures, humidity and vibrations are no longer a problem with modern batteries. Nevertheless, there may be a need to purchase an additional battery. On the one hand, of course, as a replacement for a defective or old battery. On the other hand, however, it can also be used as a backup for particularly long tours or for daily commuting. Bosch offers its batteries in different versions. In addition to the choice between a capacity of 400 or 500 Wh, the reliable battery has also been available as a Power Tube solution since this season. The discreet design in anthracite goes with every bike. The low weight of about 2.5 kilograms and the smart attachment to the frame or the luggage rack are high-tech in its purest form. The 36-volt charge makes the batteries compatible with most Bosch e-bikes. A lock protects the battery against theft. The battery can be charged in the frame, but the battery unit can also be removed for this purpose in a few simple steps. A special mechanism makes it easy to remove the Bosch Power Tube by unlocking the battery unit and allowing it to come out of the frame a few centimeters. Thanks to the mounting points on the casing, it is also possible to attach a bottle cage to this model. The T.E.C Pack from Fokus is a battery with a maximum capacity of 378 Wh. Combined with the battery already installed, it offers an incredible range that allows for even the most demanding tours. The low weight, the uncomplicated handling and the possibility to attach a bottle cage to the housing make the Focus T.E.C Pack an ingenious addition to the popular Jam² and Bold² models. All batteries meet the safety guidelines that are required by law. We refer you to the notes on storage and handling. The batteries should only be connected to the chargers intended for them.
Bosch Nyon: the smart display
With the Nyon display, Bosch offers a modern extension for the functionality of its e-bikes. This ingenious all-in-one solution allows a smartphone to be connected via Bluetooth. The integrated GPS module, combined with the appropriate map material, becomes a fully-fledged navigation system. The generous storage capacity of 8 GB makes it possible to fit a whole range of maps onto the device. The Bluetooth function also allows the use of a suitable chest strap to monitor performance data. The micro-USB port can be used to charge the device, transfer updates and maps, and pair an MP3 player or smartphone. The chic 4.3-inch color display with automatic backlighting shows all the important information clearly and legibly. The Nyon is splashproof to IPx7 standards and so robust that it is happy to accompany you on trails. Other professional functions, such as the integrated compass, the barometric air pressure sensor, or the intuitive joystick for operation, turn the display into a fully functional board computer. All in the usual Bosch quality, of course!
Charge to 100% even faster with the Bosch Fast Charger
Charging a 500 Wh battery from completely empty to 100% takes about 4.5 hours with a standard charger. For bikers who take particularly demanding tours, commuters, or those who use an e-bike professionally, this always means a longer break. With the new Bosch Fast Charger, charging times are roughly halved thanks to double the ampere output. This makes this device the currently fastest charger for Bosch batteries.
