Additional turn-by-turn directions with precise distance information makes it easier for riders to find their way, regardless of the screen displayed at the time.

This ensures that rider are not unnecessarily distracted, allowing them to focus fully on the road ahead.

The high resolution display means information is absorbed quickly.

Navigation of komoot routes with Kiox 300

Riders can create their own routes in the eBike Flow app, choosing between three route profiles; Daily (daily journeys), Leisure (leisure rides) and eMTB (eMTB trails). Alternatively they can take inspiration from the komoot app, linking their komoot profile with the eBike Flow app and importing the desired route. All route information is continuously transmitted via Bluetooth from the eBike Flow app to Kiox 300.

Shift recommendation helps improve riding experience

This ensures that they are always in the optimum gear and can enjoy the flow even longer.

To enable riders to better assess the route in terms of their own fitness, Kiox 300 indicates the distance to the destination. The display also provides information such as time to the destination, as well as estimated time of arrival, in combination with the LED Remote.

Advanced activity tracking gives a detailed overview of riding data

The Kiox 300 will now offer riders additional features to optimise their workouts. Previously, cadence, power and calories consumed were recorded during automatic activity tracking. With the update to the Kiox 300, the display will tell eBikers whether they are currently riding above or below their personal average power and average cadence. Thanks to the update, the respective average values are now also displayed to further enhance motivation during training. The update will also see the display show the current altitude, elevation covered and the maximum altitude. The average values are activity-related and are reset when a new activity is started.
