Read in: English · 中文 · Bahasa Melayu
Bosch has introduced a motorcycle cybersecurity setup called Central Gateway to protect connected bike electronics from external attacks. The company says it is designed as motorcycles adopt more smartphone-linked and cloud-based functions.
Bosch has unveiled a new cybersecurity system for motorcycles called Central Gateway. It is designed to sit between a bike’s internal electronics and outside connections such as Bluetooth, Wi‑Fi and cloud services.
According to the report, the system is meant to help protect safety-critical electronics as motorcycles increasingly use smartphone connectivity, navigation, remote diagnostics and advanced rider assistance systems.
Bosch says the gateway monitors incoming and outgoing data traffic and helps isolate important vehicle systems from external interfaces. Security chips in ECUs, including those for ABS and the engine, add another layer by allowing only verified signals onto the vehicle network.
Three versions are offered: Central Gateway Light, Base and High, to suit different motorcycle platforms. The article also notes that UN Regulation No. 155 cybersecurity requirements will start applying to newly developed two-wheelers from December 2027, before extending to all new registrations from June 2029.
What it means for you: as connected motorcycle features grow, workshops and riders should expect more focus on software security and verified electronic systems, not just hardware parts.
