Not sure about your part of the world, but here there is some time signal coming through by radio and that allows us to set clocks automatically. They are also dirt cheap - I recently bought a whole alarm clock with that feature for 5€, so the component itself can’t be that expensive. So I’m not sure if that really is the reason for Bosch to not include that in their eBike controllers
You can work around that - eBikes have a battery, this really doesn’t use much power and therefore you can just keep receiving the current time while nobody is cycling without any issues.

@Obelix @Treczoks bikes are outside and GPS is pretty cheap to receive these days too.
But those take several minutes from power on to showing the time. Which might irritate the user.
