Notes on Cycling with Your eBike
When does the drive work?
The drive assists your cycling only when you are pedalling. If
you do not pedal, the assistance will not work. The drive
power always depends on the pedalling force and cadence
you apply.
If you apply less force or a lower cadence, you will receive
less assistance than if you apply a lot of force or a higher ca-
dence. This applies irrespective of the riding mode.
The drive automatically switches off at speeds over
25 km/h. When the speed falls below 25 km/h, the drive
auto-matically becomes available again.
An exception applies to the walk assistance function, in
which the eBike can be pushed at low speed without ped-
alling. The pedals may rotate when the walk assistance is in
use.
You can also use the eBike as a normal bicycle without as-
sistance at any time, either by switching off the eBike or by
setting the riding mode to OFF. The same applies when the
eBike battery is drained.
Interaction between the Drive Unit and Gear-shifting
The gear shifting should be used with an eBike in the same
way as with a normal bicycle (observe the operating instruc-
tions of your eBike on this point).
Irrespective of the type of gear shifting, it is advisable that
you briefly reduce the pressure on the pedals when changing
gear. This will aid gear shifting and reduce wear on the
powertrain.
By selecting the correct gear, you can increase your speed
and range while applying the same amount of force.
Gaining initial experience
We recommend that you gain initial experience with the
eBike away from busy roads.
Test the various riding modes. Start in a riding mode with a
small amount of assistance. As soon as you feel confident,
you can ride your eBike in traffic like any other bicycle.
Test the range of your eBike in different conditions before
planning longer and more demanding trips.
Influences on range
It is not possible to calculate the range accurately before and
during a trip because the range is affected by a number on
factors.
Enter the factors in the Range Assistant in order to better as-
sess the effects on the range.
Scan the code provided to open the Range As-
sistant.
Taking care of your eBike
Please observe the operating and storage temperatures of
the eBike components. Protect the drive unit, on-board com-
puter and eBike battery against extreme temperatures (e.g.
from intense sunlight without adequate ventilation). The
Bosch eBike Systems
components (especially the eBike battery) can become dam-
aged through extreme temperatures.
Maintenance and servicing
Maintenance and cleaning
When changing the bulbs, ensure that they are compatible
with the Bosch eBike system of the generation the smart
system (ask your bicycle dealer) and are suitable for the
specified voltage. Bulbs must only be replaced with bulbs of
the same voltage.
All components fitted to the drive unit and all other compon-
ents of the drive (e.g. chainring, chainring receptacle, ped-
als, cranks) must only be replaced with identical compon-
ents or components that have been specifically approved by
the manufacturer for your eBike. This will protect the drive
unit from overloading and becoming damaged.
Keep the drive unit clean and avoid contact with aggressive
substances and fuels, e.g. diesel. Take care when cleaning
the drive unit.
Do not immerse any components, including the drive unit, in
water or clean them with pressurised water.
Have your eBike checked by an expert at least once a year
(including mechanical parts, up-to-dateness of system soft-
ware).
Please have your eBike serviced and repaired by an author-
ised bicycle dealer.
After-sales service and advice on using products
If you have any questions about the eBike and its compon-
ents, contact an authorised bicycle dealer.
For contact details of authorised bike dealerships, please
visit www.bosch-ebike.com.
Further information on the eBike components
and their functions can be found in the Bosch
eBike Help Center.

ily offers a return or is legally obligated to do so. Refer to the
national regulations in this case.
The drive unit, on-board computer incl. operat-
ing unit, eBike battery, speed sensor, ac-
cessories and packaging should be disposed of

Check that your personal data has been deleted from the
device.
Batteries that can be removed from the power tool without
destruction must be removed before disposal itself and sor-
ted for separate battery collection.
