Electric mountain bike display guide
An electric mountain bike display is an on board computer that provides riders a vast array of information, such as the battery life left on a bike, current speed and distance travelled. A display is a superb piece of technology to manage your efforts and get the most out of your riding experience. The majority of displays work with a light system for battery life. Each light represents 20% of charge, which is typically displayed on the top tube. Whilst more complex displays show battery life in a more detailed percentage number.

When choosing a display, it's important to consider how much you value constant access to metrics and statistics when you are riding, if.. mph, distance travelled and altitude climbed is imperative for you to access while you're riding, a display is definitely worth including on your bike. However if you simply just want to get out and ride, all the electric bikes we retail have at least your current charge state and assistance mode clearly indicated. And all of our brands feature apps which you can access ride data from your ride through your mobile phone..

Bosch products are all smart phone compatible through the Bosch Flow app to view extra riding data and make adjustments to your electric bikes assistance modes.
