Bosch Unveils Innovative Theft Prevention and AI Features for E-Bikes at CES 2025
At the forefront of technological advancements, Bosch has introduced an exciting new theft prevention feature for e-bike batteries during the CES 2025 event. The German conglomerate announced the ability to lock e-bike batteries digitally using their Flow+ app, enhancing security measures for e-bike owners.
With this feature activated, your Bosch e-bike battery will automatically lock digitally when you turn off your bike. This means that if a thief manages to steal your battery and attempts to use it on another Bosch e-bike, it won’t work. In fact, it will disable the motor support of that bike, rendering it useless. It’s a smart move by Bosch to ensure that their customers’ investments are protected.
- Digital battery locking via Flow+ app
- Automatic locking when e-bike is turned off
- Disables motor support if stolen battery is used
- Allows creation of digital keys for shared access
This feature will be rolled out via an over-the-air update this summer for batteries compatible with Bosch’s smart system-equipped e-bikes.

Furthermore, Bosch is enabling owners to create digital keys, allowing friends and family to ride their e-bikes without hassle. This is part of a broader suite of security features designed to offer peace of mind. Currently, some Bosch e-bikes already include smartphone-based locking systems integrated into their digital displays, along with standard mechanical locks and even an alarm system.
But that’s not all; Bosch also revealed an innovative AI-driven feature that empowers users to set a desired charge level at the end of their ride. While details were sparse during the announcement, this feature promises to manage the battery and motor to meet the user’s specified target charge level.
We’ll be delving deeper into these intriguing developments from the CES 2025 show floor to bring you more insights into how these features will function in real-world scenarios. Stay tuned for updates!
