- electricbikere... In this video, I show how to change units from miles to kilometers, how to activate lights, and how to enable walk mode. This display is a lot deeper than the Bosch Purion and includes more settings than the Bosch Intuvia. It is removable but doesn't swivel (to reduce glare) because it's mounted to fixed over-stem clamp... and sometimes inset into stems, it has an active Micro USB port for charging accessories (5 volt, 1,000 milliamp output). The remote button pad is extremely easy to reach and very responsive to presses, though a little bit more firm than the Intuvia button pad. All buttons produce a tactile click. This is my personal favorite electric bike display because it offer so many features, is easy to use, and feels very sturdy.
Navigation aids:
- How to activate ebike lights at 0:40
- How to activate walk mode at 2:34
- How to enter the settings menu at 4:57
- How to remove the display at 9:04
- How to use the Micro-USB charging port at 9:04
One note about the color LCD display unit, there is a coin cell lithium-ion battery inside that may eventually expire and need replacement. You can turn the Kiox on when it is not connected to the mount. You need to remove the display and unscrew it in order to replace this little battery, much like the Intuvia display. It happened to my Uncle, who thought that the display had broken... Nope, just an expired battery in the display. Note also that the Intuvia and Kiox screens can be more permanently fixed to the mount interface by using an included set screw underneath. If it feels like your Kiox is not coming off easily, consider looking for this set screw by completely removing the mount from the handlebar. Many shops and ebike events use this set screw to keep displays with their respective bikes for security and convenience. Depending on the motor in use, you may have eMTB mode (which replaces Sport mode) for dynamic power output based more on torque... it offers 120% to 300% assist and requires less hand/button input while riding.
Pros: The LCD screen is made from Gorilla Glass vs. more fragile glass or plastic. The idea is that it won't get scratched up as easily if the display takes contact or pops out of the magnetic mounting bracket. The menus can cycle from the last screen to the first and visa-versa which saves clicks. There isn't a lot of confusion about how to turn on lights, activate walk mode, or adjust settings because the control pad has seven buttons and screens that are all labeled clearly. The battery menu will actually show two battery packs at once, so you know exactly how full each one is! The Bosch controller system will drain two packs evenly and will also charge them evenly by plugging the charger in to one location on bike frames... this helps to reduce wear and saves you time and hassle.
Cons: The display mount doesn't usually allow the angle to be adjusted, it's usually a fixed mount above the stem and some ebikes have custom stems where the display is sunk down in, here's an example from R&M. Compared to the Intuvia and European Nyon display panels, the Kiox is a bit smaller and some of the fonts may be difficult to read at a distance. Being a backlit color display, the Kiox may utilize more electricity to operate.
Quick tips:
- The buttons on the control pad include Walk (top edge), +, -, left, right, select (unlabeled diamond shaped key below the left and right arrows)
- The buttons on the display panel include power, and light
- To change units from miles (imperial) to kilometers (metric), navigate to the far left screen then select "settings" then navigate down to imperial
- To activate lights (if they are wired in), press the light button for a couple of seconds
- To navigate through the trip stat menus and heart rate, press the left and right arrow keys, these include: Trip Distance, Odometer, Clock, Max Speed, Average Speed, Trip Time, Range
- To activate walk mode, you must be in one of the four levels of assist, then press the walk mode button on the top edge of the control pad and then hold +, not all ebikes have walk mode enabled
- The display is always backlit, you can raise and lower the brightness in the settings menu or let it adjust automatically in the settings menu
- The man views for this display starting at the second dot (which is the default view) include Assist Level Animation + Clock + Battery Infographic, Clock + Range, Trip Distance + Ride Time, Pedal Power + Pedal Cadence, Average Speed + Maximum Speed, Heart Rate Beats Per Minute (BPM), Battery Infographics + Settings
The official Bosch website lists all of their display panel specifications at: www.bosch-ebik... and I welcome your feedback, tips, and corrections below. I have included some official Bosch images along with a photo I took so you can look closely at the unit.
I bought a Koga Pace B20 (speed pedelec) last summer and only now I learned how to use the walk assist! Thank you very much.
i think my older eyes prefer the larger displays from bosch and yamaha but te tech in these are pretty good, like a smart phone app!
I feel ya, the Intuvia is still one of my favorite ebike displays of all time... but I like the battery percentage and higher amp USB output on Kiox here.
Love the color of that bike
James Mason me too! 😎
Me too, it's fun and beautiful :D comfortable and fast to ride... lots of utility, one of my favorite ebikes in recent years actually.
Thanks for this good demonstration of the KIOX display.
Your walkthrough is great.
Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit czcams.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.
this video is awesome
Hey! That feels great to hear, thanks Jay. What did you like about it? I'm always trying to deliver authentic but fast/enjoyable content here and it's wonderful to receive positive feedback and reinforcement.
OMG help.... I can't remove the display! It seems to be stuck there and I don't wanna break it... Should I rotate it and pull?
Hi Chris, thanks for the info on the horn. That give me an idea. I really like you video on the net. Continue the good work.
John Doe Thanks!
@@newschoolnerd Message received from Spanninga:
Dear John
Thank you for your message through our website.
Right now we only sell the Horn to Bike Manufacturers. We have no possibility to sell to end consumers yet.

Hope this info can help some others bikers. Cheers
John.
John Doe I’m working on trying to get some aftermarket. I’ll update you if I am able to do it
you do not necessarily need a Bosch USB lead to charge , their standard one in my opinion is far to short , personally as a long distance tourer, i run the lead to a lime fuel battery charging on the go, and then use that later to charge one of my bits of kit as well as use the Kiox when camped up at night.
Every bosch line has walk mode even the first i bought in 2014.
Propel is number one. If you can afford the best go riese and muller. A bike you can ride long distances 👍
Very good
I believe you can still swap a Kiox display for a Nyon (which also has gps - dunno about nyon power output for iphones tho) Nyon is available on ebay new, but you will have to accept bosch wont support you
ForbinColossus in the US this is correct, but it is supported in the EU. It’s going to be interesting to see what Bosch does with the future of displays and connectivity.
Thanks for very detailed review of Kiox. I have a question and maybe you can advise me. On my ebike (Cube Reaction Pro - 2021) I replaced Purion on Kiox (I bought used Kiox). Meanwhile I installed also front light. Kiox is working very well, but I cannot switch on light when pushing button on Kiox. Do you have idea what could be a reason? Thanks.
Soo great this video. And Thank you for all your effort!!!!
@Kyrie Trent dude, which type of scammer you are? Totally off topic
I was really hoping the Kiox would allow me to track my rides (can't get that to work at all) so that I can monitor my effort when cycling and export that to fitness apps. E. G. It would be nice to export to Strava but have an accurate readout of calories burnt so I can diet appropriately.
Edit: after an update the Kiox started tracking rides so long as my phone's Bluetooth is on. It also tracks calorie counts pretty nicely. My only complaint now is the "percentage effort expended" display which boils down time spent in each assistance level and time spent exceeding the motor's speed cutoff into an overall figure for the motor's effort. It's just not that useful compared to Idk watt hours consumed?
Its working now
I think the colours need changing the colours in the shop was hardly visible in broad daylight and or bright sunshine it would be really hard to read. Much prefer my intuvia black on white display. All the intuvia needs is a battery percentage and it would be perfect. Cheers
Agree, one thing I didn't mention was that the display can't be angled, so you cannot reduce glare or get the viewing angle dialed in for your height as easily as Intuvia. If that display had battery percentage and the faster USB 1 amp output, then I agree that it would be perfect :D
Hi, does the Kiox Display have its own battery and how often does it need to be changed and how
Hello brother can u do review imren electric bike your next videos and how to unlock speed limts
Hi
Do oyu know if you can charge a Garmin Edge explore head unit from the Kiox & it will charge whilst using the Garmin to navigate? TIA
Anyone else got the Kiox display.
My rail has a 625WH battery.
First two full charges to 100% the eco range said 121km now on its third full charge is only say 64km which is half. Im wondering if it will adjust when go out tomorrow as the bike hasn't moved since popping the battery back in.
Hi mate, what are the pedals Chris has on his load? Look awesome.
Does this Kiox display work with - Ebikeling 1200W rear hub motor kit? Does this work with any generic controller?
How do I enter the service menu? Need to change the settings on the 12v output port on the motor to 5amp. Any ideas on how to do this?
Love the helmet. How about a CLOCK SET??
Cool display. Is there an adapter for the COBI display that snaps into that magnetic bracket like with the Intuvia?
Simon Guerin not at the moment, but who knows what the future holds
Hi guys. How about Quick Display costumizing?
Hugs
Thanks for the review. What is that horn button on the left side. Seem interesting. Would you have any info on this please ?
John Doe this is a Spanninga Ebike horn that comes standard on all 2019 high speed bikes. It runs odd the same circuit that the lights use.
Can we update to this system if we had the old system ? just i see that Bosch users the same CX motor
For the first year the supply will be limited but after that, it should be available for aftermarket retrofitting and it is backwards compatible.
For 2020 can the Kiok be retrofitted to a R&M Nevo GT?
Thank U 4 the review ! Please let me know is it possible 2 change the Purion with Kiox in my Super Comm. +8 ?
Safa Moghaddam technically yes, but currently the Kiox display is not available on the aftermarket. I would anticipate that we might see this as an option next year.
I have a Super Commuter +7. I changed the purion to the intuvia but I really want the Kiox. I'll be ordering a kit through eBay soon.
Why carry the helmet in the shop??? 😁
He sleeps with it.
where can I buy one of these from
How much does this bike weigh?
Mary Mccarthy the Riese & Müller Load 60 Touring HS is 80lbs with it’s base accessories which includes the rear carrier and a single battery.
Hi Mary, I haven't reviewed the 2019 version of the Load, but here's one from 2017 with more details. I weighed it at 73lbs but Chris might have a more accurate number since he actually carries the latest version electricbikereview.com/riese-muller/load-touring-hs/
Hi Chris, I will try an electric bike this summer. I think they may be too heavy for me to pedal on my own power. I am not that strong and remember how hard it was for me to ride my ten speed when it was loaded up for a trip down the HWY 1 from San Fran to LA. I did acclimate after a few days. But I was 28 then and 67 now. We’ll see. Thanks.
@@Doglover1709 Sounds like a fun ride! I hope to be able to do a ride like that soon. For most it's pretty rare that you'll have to ride on your own power, but there are definitely lighter bikes out there if weight is a concern. Do you need to carry a lot of cargo? This bike is a cargo bike, but standard ebikes are often a lot lighter.
Is it possible and easy to upgrade from Intuvia to Kiox? Thanks!
no
how much and where can i buy it?
Böyle bir bisikletin fiyatı kaç $
Bu elektrikli bisiklet maliyeti yaklaşık $6.500 USD electricbikereview.com/riese-muller/load-touring-hs/
Maybe usable or good for Street Bikes, but for Mountainbikes this display protrudes waaaay to much.
Rakku there are some integrated stems and it’s actually possible to integrate it into the frame, but we haven’t seen much of that yet. Also - it pops off really easily upon impact which will prevent damage.
Yeah, you can see an embedded display pictured in the full writeup here: electricbikereview.com/forum/threads/bosch-kiox-ebike-display-settings.26715/ from the Riese & Müller Homage GT Touring HS electricbikereview.com/riese-muller/homage-gt-touring-hs/
Why the helmet?
yok artık yaaa .beyler nasıl bir teknoloji bu?siz neyin peşindesiniz?
Bu bir elektrikli bisiklet. Birkaç sürüş modunu çalıştıran ortaya monte bir motor, akü paketi ve ekran paneli bilgisayarı var (pedal yardımı)
@@ElectricBikeReview Thanks canlar
no demo ride, what...not buying it....
Lol, here's a ride test with Kiox, my goal was to keep this video shorter and just focus on the display: electricbikereview.com/riese-muller/homage-gt-touring-hs/
