What Happened
Bosch eBike Systems is the first drive system manufacturer to offer a digital certification for pre-owned eBikes. The certificate, called Certified by Bosch, displays the condition of the battery and drive unit, provides model information, and confirms the eBike has not been reported stolen in the eBike Flow app.
Refurbishment specialist Rebike becomes the first partner to certify all eBikes with a Bosch system and issue the Certified by Bosch certificate.
Bosch will support specialist bicycle retailers in selling pre-owned models with the certificate.
