Bosch eBike Systems has unveiled ‘Certified by Bosch’, a digital certification program aimed at enhancing transparency and trust in the pre-owned eBike market. Launching in July 2026, the service will initially be available in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, and the Netherlands, with plans to expand to Belgium, Spain, Italy, and other European markets.

This innovative program provides a comprehensive assessment of the eBike’s battery and drive unit, presenting the findings through an intuitive star-based rating system. Key metrics include battery charge cycles, remaining capacity, distance travelled, and power usage. Additionally, the certificate confirms that the eBike has not been reported as stolen in the eBike Flow app and verifies the absence of tuning modifications. Authenticity can be easily verified online via a QR code. (bosch-presse.de)
Rebike, a refurbishment specialist, is the first partner to offer certified eBikes starting in July 2026 in the aforementioned countries, with plans to extend to other European markets. From early 2027, Bosch will also support specialist bicycle retailers in selling pre-owned models through this certification. (bosch-presse.de)
Opting for a pre-owned, Bosch-certified eBike is an environmentally conscious choice, conserving resources and potentially saving up to 208 kg of CO₂ equivalents compared to producing a new model. (bikebiz.com)
This initiative underscores Bosch’s commitment to promoting sustainable mobility and providing consumers with reliable, transparent options in the growing pre-owned eBike market.
