WHY THE HSD? Hauls all that, and even more

Smarter, with Enhanced Security

A SMARTER HSD: The HSD is a smart, connected Bosch e-bike that can conveniently managed through your smartphone. Monitor your battery level, range, and distance traveled, as well as keep track of service appointments and history. Over-the-air updates can be automatically installed to update your HSD with the latest functions and features.

ELECTRONIC LOCK: Park your HSD and enjoy some extra security for some worry-free downtime. Turn off the Bosch onboard computer and your HSD e-bike system automatically locks, with motor support deactivated. Easily remove the display and take it with you for extra security. The system automatically unlocks once it senses a Bluetooth connection with your smartphone.

SMART ALARMS: Ward off potential thieves with the Bosch Anti-Theft Alarms. Locking an HSD activates the alarm. If someone gets handsy and starts jostling the HSD, a motion sensor will set off a high-decibel acoustic alarm and activate flashing LEDs, drawing attention to the would-be thief and deterring them from proceeding.

GPS TRACKING: Always keep track of your HSD. If a would-be thief ignores the Anti-Theft Alarms and starts moving the HSD significantly, a notification message is immediately sent to your smartphone. The bike's location can then be tracked in real-time via GPS using the Bosch eBike Flow app.
