COBI.BIKE – YOUR CONNECTED BIKING SYSTEM
The COBI.Bike system connects your bike with your digital world. Our product provides smart features to your bike and intelligent assistance using the smartphone. The result: more safety, comfort and fun on any cycling route.
DASHBOARD
The dashboard gives you quick access to speed, weather, fitness and performance info in a beautiful interface.
MUSIC CONTROL
All the control you'd expect, with the simplicity of a thumb controller. Start, stop and pause your tunes with intuitive thumb presses. It works with all your media apps too – from Spotify to podcasts.
COMMUNICATE
Make a quick call by selecting a contact using the thumb controller. You can also answer calls without letting go of the handlebars, which means no more risky phone action while riding.
SAFETY
With Help Connect you enjoy a premium function of the COBI.Bike app for more safety while eBiking. This provides you, as a pedelec rider, with a digital companion that alerts a trained service team in case of an emergency. The smartphone app uses an intelligent algorithm to recognize that the eBiker has fallen, and how bad the accident was.
IMPORTANT: Available for eBikes with SmartphoneHub and COBI.Bike and for German SIM cards only. Please note that the Smartphone must be mounted onto your SmartphoneHub or COBI.Bike.

4 ★ Update: The voice changed back, I bumped it up a star. The next issue, when I stop a ride I like to hear how many calories I burned. For a while now when I exit it interrupts itself with the word 'off.' This is what I get every time regardless of what I do: "You've burned *off.*" It's very frustrating, and to the best of my knowledge there's no way to retrieve that information.
1 ★ I have an Android phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 9). I JUST bought a new ebike, which uses this app. The app won't open, and gives an error message about not being able to download the maps. I installed the app on my iPod, and it opens right up. But my iPod is Wi-Fi only, so useless, unless I Hotspot from my phone, for routing while riding. Do you have a fix, so I can use my android phone with this app? What about offline maps, so I could use my iPod?
1 ★ On 2 or 3 occasions the app has shut down the bicycle while riding. The GPS is useless when selecting "quietest" route, as I've been guided against one-way traffic, through fences, across private proporty (with no-trespassing signs), and even down a set of stairs!!! The ETA function on the GPS is also useless; when you enter an address at the start of your journey it will give an accurate journey time and ETA, but as you ride, the ETA is always current time + original journey time!
3 ★ There are two bugs noticed. One is when changed the USA imperial system as "mile". The verbal voice in the app is still saying "kilometer" which it should say "mile". The second bug is with the firmware update using Android 7.0 on my LG V20 mobile phone. I was fortunate to have an iPhone so I was able to update via Apple's IOS. The verbal bug also exist on the IOS app however. Please fix both Android & IOS versions. Thanks!
3 ★ Dashboard not working on Samsung S20. UPDATE: The dashboard is working. It is just not clear that the dashboard ONLY works when connected to the bike and when the bike is not charging. When both of those thing happen a button appears to switch to dashboard. This is not documented anywhere. The application seems to work fine now.
4 ★ As of October 2018, the issues below have been fixed. Raising the rating accordingly. ... The September 2018 update has made this app totally unusable. Hub is randomly not recognized, prompting user to update firmware, even when it is already up to date. I can sometimes work around this by "reset & release hub" and redoing the setup. After that, sometimes it works and sometimes it still fails to connect to the hub. Fortunately, my iZip Protour can work without a smartphone, so at least my bike isn't bricked. But the quality control of this app needs serious improvement.
5 ★ After some startup issues have been using the system now for a few rides. Would wish for a few things. Add a button to go to the camera. Now you have to leave the app and with gloves that's a lot easier if you don't need to swipe. Would also love to see an option to export data from the Bosch motor itself. When I look at Bosch ebike connect you get info about what mode you where in. With cobi we are stuck with the ridiculous max speed errors of strava when importing in garmin
4 ★ Bike has not worked for two weeks Back and forth correspond with Cobi team in Europe. They sent me new Hub and when installed and powered up automatically did Firmware update and still have same issue. Hub locked up!! This is crazy. Only had this Hibike Urban Plus a few months and now they cannot fix!! Update 9/19 After trying numerous times I tried a iPhone 6..still no luck. Then tried a Samsung Tablet and successful after third try. Cobi is ok with Tablet ...tried Moto X Play and after numerous trys successful. But after you close app and access again will go automatically to firmware update! I cancelled and then had to delete and reload app and it works...but cannot do this every time. Been in contact with Cobi and they say new update coming that will resolve issue..let's hope so? Update 11/97/18 Performed the recently released firmware update last weekend and went well. Cobi interface with hub and Android phone work as it did previously or prior to last update that took down hub. Did an extensive ride over weekend and works as design! System interface is great and love it! Thanks!
5 ★ There's a bit of a learning curve. There are features that seem a bit clunky, but all in all the app does what I want it to do. It auto updates into Strava and Komoot (of which I use both whole I determine which I like better). Overall I appreciate the app - especially how it gets all the data about my eBike ride and breaks it down.
2 ★ I bought an expensive IZIP bike two years ago and have enjoyed the Cobi application. I recently bought a new phone, the Galaxy Note S20, and while adding the Cobi app it messed up the hub's firmware. I have tried all the ways in the manual to fix the firmware but no luck! Still the blinking dark blue light. I have tried contacting Cobi/Bosch via email (no answers yet from my four emails) and have even talked to a local bike shop who talked to a Bosch rep...please help!!
4 ★ So far the COBI app has been pretty good. Map function could be a little beteter and having the option to indicate battery percentage would be a good addition. Make sure not to disconnect by turning off your phones Bluetooth or the app will stop working properly. Hope the app becomes more like Mission Control.
1 ★ This app is terrible. It doesnt work as intended. Which is unfortunate as you're forced to using it if you've bought a bike that utilises the COBI computer... you cant even send messages to support. Since recent updates the navigation doesn't even work - makes the entire thing redundant. Difficult to get any tech support for issues. AVOID IF AT ALL POSSIBLE!
1 ★ I had this app for the last 7 months was doing very well but recently I was asked to login but did not succeed. The bosh I'd button on the app did not work. Contacted Bosch and they told me it's not from there side, tried to contact Cobi but no answer. I have been 3 weeks with this system not working. I am very disappointed.
2 ★ The app basically works which is good but i have atleast one major problem: theres no way to view / edit / delete past tours and the symc to komoot is partially broken, tours are doubling up everytime komoot syncs and its hugely annoying. Not being able to edit past tours is not only a missing core functionality but also a huge privacy concern.
5 ★ This app works amazingly with the new Bosch Smartphone Hub. Connects quickly, integrates with Komoot. My only request would be the ability to connect to my Galaxy Watch Active 2 heart rate sensor. Keep up the great work!
