Only 2022 Serial 1 e-bikes can be added to the Virtual Garage to gain access to the app's real-time riding data and safety features. If you are unsure whether your bike is compatible with the Serial 1 app, please contact our support team at support@serial1.com. The turn-by-turn navigation feature is available to all users, whether they ride a 2021 Serial 1 or another brand of bike.
Is the Serial 1 app available in all countries?
The Serial 1 app is optimized for use in the USA, Canada and Europe. Features that require the use of cellular data may not be compatible in other countries.
What features are displayed on the dashboard?
When you log into the app, you will find a map that shows your current location, the current location of your Serial 1 e-bike and a variety of features that allow you to start your ride, digitally lock your e-bike and much more more.
The virtual garage appears as a menu option - here you select which of your Serial 1 e-bikes (if you have more than one Serial 1 e-bike) is active in the app.
While you drive, you can view various data, such as: B. the current speed, the duration of the journey, the distance traveled, the range, the engine power, the efficiency of the e-bike, the charge status of the battery and much more.
After each trip you can view a summary. These summaries can be saved in the app so that users can review and compare driving data over time.
What is meant by digitally locking the bike?
With the Serial 1 app you have the opportunity to digitally lock your e-bike from anywhere using your mobile phone. The digital lock function informs you via push notification when someone or something moves on the e-bike. You can then activate Pinpoint mode, which allows you to remotely deactivate the electric pedal assistance and trigger a security alert where the light flashes for 10 seconds and the exact location of the e-bike is reported.
Does the digital lock replace the need for a physical bike lock?
The Serial 1 app allows you to remotely deactivate the motor of your Serial 1 e-bike, stopping all pedal assistance functions, but still allowing the bike to be ridden without electric assistance. For this reason, we still recommend that you use a high-quality, physical lock when leaving your e-bike unattended. For more information on Serial 1 recommended locks, please visit our support page here .
Can you adjust the Enviolo Hub settings using the Serial 1 app?
Currently the Enviolo AUTOMATiQ hub settings cannot be adjusted via the Serial 1 app. To make adjustments to your hub, you will need to pair your bike with the Enviolo app (sold separately). For instructions on downloading the Enviolo app and making adjustments to the auto-shifting CVT hub, visit our support page here .
Can I change the maximum support speed of my Serial 1 e-bike with the Serial 1 app?
The maximum support speed is determined by local regulations and cannot be changed via the Serial 1 app. In addition, any modification to the engine will void the warranty.
How many Serial 1 e-bikes can I store in my virtual garage?
Your virtual garage is account-based and can store as many Serial 1 e-bikes as you own. For example, if you and another family member each own a bike, you can add both bikes to a shared account and use the same login to connect to each e-bike.
How does the Serial 1 app communicate with my Serial 1 e-bike? Do I need an internet or WIFI connection to use the app?
You can connect your Serial 1 e-bike to the Serial 1 app using Bluetooth® wireless technology and/or a mobile data connection. The Serial 1 app communicates with an integrated Internet of Things (IoT) device that has its own internet connection to provide real-time driving data.
This means that both the bike and the mobile device must be within range of cell towers to ensure the app's full functionality.
However, if either device is out of range and has no service, the data will be stored locally on both the phone and the Serial 1 E-Bike and uploaded once cellular connection is restored.
(There is a status indicator in the app that shows whether the Serial 1 e-bike has a connection or not).
Turn-by-turn navigation can still be used even if the mobile phone connection is interrupted.
Does the integrated IoT device consume power from the e-bike battery?
The integrated IoT device has a separate battery that is charged with the main battery of the e-bike. Aside from charging your e-bike regularly, you don't need to take any additional charging steps. You may occasionally see an indicator on your Brose display that the IoT device is charging. Since the IoT device is powered separately, the e-bike's GPS location is still available for some time even if the main battery is completely discharged or removed for safety reasons. An additional charging notification is sent via the app if the e-bike main battery becomes weak and needs to be charged.
How does Serial 1 use the data collected via the Serial 1 app?
If you ride regularly with the Serial 1 app, the app learns from your e-bike and your individual riding style.
Serial 1 will use the driving data collected through the Serial 1 app to further improve the app's usability for all customers as we continue to develop and update new models and features.
This data also helps the Serial 1 support team identify and resolve issues when servicing your e-bike. The data will not be passed on or sold to third parties.
Do I have to pay for these services?
The Serial 1 data plan is free for the first two years. The users then decide for themselves whether they want to extend the service.
What is the best way to attach my cell phone to my Serial 1 e-bike?
There are numerous compatible cell phone holders on the aftermarket.
However, Serial 1 recommends using the Quad Lock Case and Motorcycle Handlebar Mount (32mm diameter) to securely and conveniently attach your cell phone to the handlebars of the e-bike. You can connect the optional weatherproof and wireless charging head from Quad Lock to the integrated USB-C charging cable under the handlebar stem to use the Serial 1 app without using up your cell phone battery. All Quad Lock products are available separately.
