setting the assistance level 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 assistance levels, beginning with the lowest
level. 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
The range is affected by a number of factors, such as:
– Assistance level
– Speed
– Gear shifting behaviour
– Tyre type and tyre pressure
– Age and condition of the eBike battery
– Route profile (gradients) and conditions (road surface)
– Headwind and ambient temperature
– Weight of eBike, rider and luggage
For this reason, it is not possible to predict the range accur-
ately before and during a trip. However, as a general rule:
– With the same assistance level on the drive: The less en-
ergy you need to exert in order to reach a certain speed
(e.g. by changing gears optimally), the less energy the
drive will consume and the higher the range per battery
charge will be.
– The higher the selected assistance level under otherwise
constant conditions, the smaller the range will be.
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
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.
Bosch eBike Systems
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.
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.

Disposal and substances in products
You can find information about substances in products at the
following link:
www.bosch-ebike.com/en/material-compliance.
Do not dispose of eBikes and their components with house-
hold waste.
The drive unit, on-board computer incl. operat-
ing unit, eBike battery, speed sensor, accessor-
ies and packaging should be disposed of in an
environmentally correct manner.
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.
In accordance with Directive 2012/19/EU
and Directive 2006/66/EC respectively, elec-
tronic devices that are no longer usable and de-
fective/drained batteries must be collected
separately and recycled in an environmentally
friendly manner.
Electrical and electronic equipment are collected separately
for pre-sorting by type and helps to ensure that raw materi-
als are treated and recovered properly, thereby protecting
people and the environment.
Please return Bosch eBike components that are no longer
usable free of charge to an authorised bicycle dealer or to a
recycling facility.
Subject to change without notice.
