0:00 Check compatibility
With BlauWerk, you can use supported functions of your Bosch smart system at home. First check whether your control unit and browser are compatible.
0:10 Connect the eBike
The eBike must be switched on. Use a USB data cable at the control unit's port. A charging-only cable is not enough.
0:19 Connect in the browser
To connect, click Pair bike in browser. The selection window may show a control unit identifier instead of the bike's name. Select your control unit and confirm the connection.
0:33 Free system analysis
Start the free system analysis. Only then does diagnostic mode appear on the eBike display. Wait until the website shows the available functions. Keep the cable connected and the diagnostic tab open.
0:49 Select lighting power
If the lighting function is available, you can select it and set the lighting power to suit your lights. Wattage describes electrical power, not brightness directly.
1:03 Price and payment
The initial check is free. The offered lighting change costs €14.99 including VAT. Work starts only after payment or redemption of a valid voucher.
1:16 Wait for the transfer
You can follow the transfer progress on the website. Wait until the website explicitly confirms successful completion.
1:26 Completion
You can now unplug the bike. Check compatibility at blauwerk.de.
Before connecting, read and confirm the privacy notice on the diagnostic page. Check the prices and available functions before placing your order. The connection footage and screen recordings are from 29 September 2026; the voice was generated artificially with the speaker's consent.
Activate lighting at home: no shipping and no loan device
Your eBike stays with you. Connect the supported control unit to your Windows PC or compatible Android smartphone using a USB data cable. You do not need a diagnostic device sent to you. First check your control unit and browser in the compatibility overview; the free initial check then determines whether the lighting change can be carried out on your eBike.
How does online activation through BlauWerk work?
For remote diagnostics covering lighting changes, ID conflicts and diagnostic reports, your browser connects your eBike to the BlauWerk workshop via USB and the internet. Diagnostics and authorised changes are carried out using the diagnostic system in our workshop. You choose the offered function and desired setting on the website; no additional diagnostic software is needed on your device. Leave the eBike switched on, the data cable connected and the diagnostic tab open until the website confirms completion.
Real-world example: lighting configuration with an existing wattage
In a documented functional test on 26 September 2026, 5.2 W was already stored on the bike. Lighting configuration was run again and then confirmed as fully completed. An existing value therefore does not automatically rule out the service. The free initial check determines whether the change can be offered for your eBike. Choose the power to suit your installed lighting.
Set lighting power: 1 to 18 watts
In the selection field, you can enter 1 to 18 W in increments of 0.1 W, for example 5.2 W. Follow the manufacturer's specifications for the front and rear lights combined. Whether your bike accepts the selected value is checked before the transfer.
How much does Bosch lighting activation cost? €14.99
The service costs €14.99 including 19% VAT, even if lighting is already activated. The initial check is free. It shows the existing wattage if it can be read. Your chosen setting is transferred only after payment or a valid voucher. If that setting is already fully present, no change is made and no charge is applied.
What does the suggested 6 W mean?
6 W is an optional BlauWerk suggestion, not a fixed requirement or a blanket recommendation for every light. Watts describe electrical power, not brightness in lux or lumens. More watts do not automatically make a light brighter; the setting can affect range. If you do not know the power required, check your lights' data sheets or ask our support team.
Connect the lighting and confirm the setting
The lighting, voltage and rated power must be compatible and professionally installed. The last lighting setting is retained when switching on. After transferring and checking it, we confirm the set wattage on the website. The session then ends.
Questions about lighting activation and wattage
Which Bosch eBikes support online lighting activation?
BlauWerk currently supports the Bosch smart system only. The system and installed control unit are what matter; the bicycle brand or motor generation alone is not enough to determine compatibility. Compare your control unit with the pictures in the compatibility overview. The free initial check shows whether the lighting change is available for your bike.
Can I activate lighting on the Bosch smart system without visiting a dealer?
Yes. On an eBike supported by BlauWerk, you can activate the lighting output or change its wattage at home via USB in your browser. The free initial check shows whether the function is available for your bike. Only the selected change costs €14.99 including VAT. The lighting must be compatible and professionally installed.
Do I have to send in my eBike or any components?
No. Your eBike stays with you. Connect the supported control unit to your Windows PC or compatible Android smartphone using a USB data cable, then carry out the offered function in your browser.
Do I need a diagnostic device sent to me?
No. No diagnostic device is shipped and no loan device is needed for the BlauWerk online service. You need your compatible Bosch smart system, a USB data cable, internet access and a supported browser. A charging-only cable is not enough.
How does the connection to the BlauWerk workshop work?
For remote diagnostics covering lighting changes, ID conflicts and diagnostic reports, your browser connects your eBike to the BlauWerk workshop via USB and the internet. Diagnostics and authorised changes are carried out using the diagnostic system in our workshop. You choose the offered function and desired setting on the website; no additional diagnostic software is needed on your device. Leave the eBike switched on, the data cable connected and the diagnostic tab open until the website confirms completion.
Which devices and browsers are supported for remote diagnostics?
Only the Bosch smart system is supported. On a Windows PC, use Chrome or Edge. For remote diagnostics covering lighting changes, ID conflicts and diagnostic reports, Chrome on Android works with selected control units; LED Controller BRC3610 and Kiox 400C are currently not supported there. iPhone and iPad are not supported. Before starting, check your control unit in the compatibility overview.
Why does a retrofitted eBike light not work?
On the Bosch smart system, the lighting output may be disabled or an unsuitable lighting power setting may be stored. The free initial check shows whether BlauWerk can change this setting online for your bike.
Can I set the lighting wattage myself?
Yes. If the function is available, choose between 1 and 18 watts in increments of 0.1 watt. Follow the manufacturer's permitted total power for the front and rear lights.
Is the suggested setting of 6 watts mandatory?
No. 6 watts is only an optional suggestion. Choose the value to suit your lighting. Watts describe electrical power, not brightness directly.
What does it cost to activate Bosch eBike lighting online?
The initial check is free. Actually activating the lighting output or changing its wattage costs €14.99 including VAT.
Which payment methods does BlauWerk accept?
We accept PayPal, credit and debit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay. The payment methods offered depend on your device, browser, country and the payment provider's approval. You will see the available options before paying. Payments are processed through PayPal. Alternatively, you can redeem a voucher valid for the selected function. Free services require no payment.
