structions. Failure to follow the below warnings
could result in death or serious injury.
u Protect others from death or serious injury. Pre-
vent unauthorized use. Always remove battery
from the bicycle when not in use and store in a se-
cure location. Failure to secure your bicycle from
unauthorized use can result in death or serious in-
jury to others.
u Read and understand the influences on the oper-
ating range when planning your ride (see "Influ-
ences on range", pageEnglish–8).
Before your first ride
Check your bicycle owner’s manual for important information about the bike components like brakes,
pedals, gears, shifting, etc.

WARNING
u Understand your bike and its intended use by
consulting your bicycle owner’s manual. Using
your bike the wrong way and for a purpose it was
not designed can result in death or serious injury.
The Bosch Drive System components are intended
exclusively for your eBike and must not be used for
other purposes.
Your Bosch drive unit is not intended for towing another bicycle. For trailer towing, consult your bicycle
owner’s manual and trailer owner’s manual for towing

Notes on cycling with the eBike
system
When does the eBike drive work?
The eBike drive assists your cycling only when you are
pedaling. If you do not pedal, the assistance will not
work. The motor output always depends on the pedaling force you apply.
If you apply less force, you will receive less assistance
than if you apply a lot of force. This applies irrespective of the assistance level.
The eBike drive automatically switches off at speeds
over 20mph. When the speed falls below 20mph,
the drive automatically becomes available again.
An exception applies to the push assistance function,
in which the eBike can be pushed at low speed without pedaling. The pedals may rotate when the push
assistance is in use.
You can also use the eBike as a normal bicycle without assistance at any time, either by switching off the
eBike system or by setting the assistance level to
OFF. The same applies when the battery is drained.
Interaction between the eBike system and
gear-shifting
The gear-shifting should be used with an eBike drive
in the same way as with a normal bicycle (observe the
operating instructions of your eBike on this point).
Irrespective of the type of gear-shifting, it is advisable
to briefly stop pedaling when changing gear. This will
facilitate the gear change 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.
Test the range of your eBike in different conditions
before planning longer and more demanding trips.
u Read and understand the influences on the oper-
ating range when planning your ride (see "Influ-
ences on range", pageEnglish–8).
Influences on range
The range is affected by a number of factors, such as:
– Assistance level
– Speed
– Gear shifting behavior
– Tire type and tire pressure
– Age and condition of the battery
– Route profile (gradients) and conditions (road sur-
face)
– Headwind and ambient temperature
– Weight of eBike, rider and luggage
For this reason, it is not possible to predict the range
accurately before and during a trip. However, as a
general rule:
– With the same assistance level on the eBike drive:
The less energy you need to exert in order to reach
a certain speed (e.g. by changing gears optimally),
the less energy the eBike drive will consume and
the higher the range per battery charge will be.
– The higher the selected assistance level under oth-
erwise constant conditions, the smaller the range
will be.
Note: Plan your routes so that you can always reach
your destination without motor assistance.
Transport
WARNING
u If you transport your eBike attached to the out-
side of your car, e.g. on a bike rack, remove the
on-board computer and the eBike battery to
avoid damaging them.
u Always remove the battery pack from the bicy-
cle before transporting the bicycle on a vehicle
bike rack. Failure to remove the battery pack when
using a vehicle bike rack can lead to death or serious injury. The battery may detach during transport
and cause an accident to following vehicles.
u Always use an approved and compatible bicycle
rack when transporting your eBike. The Bosch
drive system adds weight to the bicycle. Refer to
your bicycle rack manual to be sure your eBike is
compatible. Overloading a bike rack can result in
death or serious injury.
u Use proper lifting techniques as electric bikes
are generally heavier than bicycles.
Ship batteries only when the housing is undamaged.
Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the battery in such a manner that it cannot move around in
the packaging. Inform your parcel service that the
package contains dangerous goods. Please also observe possibly more detailed national regulations. Always check state and federal regulations before attempting to ship your battery.
If you have any questions about transporting the batteries, contact an authorized bicycle dealer. You can
also order suitable transport packaging from the
dealer.
Maintenance/Cleaning
WARNING
u Do not open any of the components. Service
should only be carried out at an authorized
Bosch eBike dealer. Failure to follow above warn-
ing can cause death or serious injury. Refer to your
bicycle manual or component manual for all non-
Bosch drive system components.
u Always remove the battery pack before perform-
ing any bicycle inspection, maintenance or re-
pair. Failure to remove the battery pack before per-
forming bicycle inspection, maintenance or repair
can lead to serious injury.
u If you suspect that something is loose, do not
ride your bike. See your Bosch eBike dealer, only a
qualified service provider should perform work on
your Bosch Drive System. All nuts, bolts, screws re-
quire the correct tightening force. Too little force
and the fastener may not hold securely. Too much
force and the fastener can strip threads, stretch,
deform or break. Either way, incorrect tightening
force can result in component failure, which can
cause you to lose control and fall.
u If replacing your battery, buy only a genuine
Bosch battery pack from an approved source.
See your Bosch eBike dealer for original Bosch
parts.
u Always switch the battery pack off, when insert-
ing or removing it from the holder. Never attempt
to insert or remove the battery pack while riding the
bike.
u Do not charge or use your eBike in any area with
a potentially explosive atmosphere, such as at a
fueling area, or in areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or
metal powders). Obey all signs and instructions.
u Do not submerge your eBike components in wa-
ter, or wash with pressurized hose. Your Bosch
drive unit is designed to be water tight to rain water
or non-pressure hose washing.
u Note down the manufacturer and the number of
the key. In case of loss of the keys, please refer to
an authorised Bosch eBike dealer. Please provide
the name of the manufacturer and the number of
the key.

To insert or remove the battery pack in/from the eBike, please
read and follow the battery pack operating instructions.
Checking the Speed Sensor
17 Speed sensor
18 Spoke magnet for the speed sensor
The speed sensor 17 and its spoke magnet 18 must be attached in such a way that the spoke magnet, after a turn of
the wheel, moves past the speed sensor with a clearance of
at least 5 mm, yet no more than 17 mm.
Note: If the clearance between the speed sensor 17 and the
spoke magnet 18 is too small or too large, or if the speed sensor 17 is not properly connected, the speed indicator will fail,
and the eBike drive unit will operate in the emergency mode.
In this case, loosen the screw for the spoke magnet 18 and
fasten the spoke magnet to the spoke in such a way that it
runs past the mark of the speed sensor at the correct clearance. If the speed is still not being indicated on the speed

pack are inserted, briefly press the On/Off button of the
on-board computer once.
– When the on-board computer is inserted, press the
On/Off button on the battery pack.
Once it is switched on, the eBike system is in the “OFF”
mode. Select the desired assistance level and take off.
The drive is activated as soon as you put pressure on the
pedals. The assistance level depends upon the on-board
computer settings.
As soon as you stop pedaling when in normal operation, or
as soon as you have reached a speed of 20 mph, the assistance from the eBike drive unit is switched off. The motor
assistance is automatically re-activated as soon you start
pedaling again and the speed is below 20 mph.
Options for switching off the eBike system:
– Press the On/Off button of the on-board computer.
– Switch off the eBike battery using its On/Off button
(bicycle manufacturer-specific solutions are possible
whereby there is no access to the battery On/Off button;
see the bicycle manufacturer operating instructions).
– Remove the on-board computer out of its holder.
If the eBike is not moved and no button is pressed on the
on-board computer for 10 minutes, the eBike system will
shut down automatically in order to save energy.
eShift (optional)
eShift is the integration of electronic gear shifting systems
into the eBike system. The eShift components are electrically connected to the drive unit by the manufacturer. The
separate operating instructions describe how to operate
the electronic gear-shifting systems.
Setting the Assistance Level
With the on-board computer you can set how much the
eBike drive assists you while pedaling. The assistance level
can be changed at any time while the system is on, even
while cycling.
Note: For individual versions, it is possible that the assistance level is preset and cannot be changed. It is also possible that fewer assistance levels are available for selection
than listed here.
When the eBike is configured in “eMTB Mode” by the man-
ufacturer, the assistance factor and torque are dynamically
adjusted as a function of the force you exert on the pedals.
“eMTB Mode” is only available for Performance Line CX
drives.
The following assistance levels (max.) are available:
– “OFF”: The motor assistance is switched off and the
eBike can be moved by pedaling. The walk assistance
cannot be activated in this assistance level.
– “ECO”: Effective assistance at maximum efficiency for
maximum cruising range
– “TOUR”: Uniform assistance, for touring with long cruis-
ing range
– “SPORT”/“eMTB”
“SPORT”: Powerful assistance for sporty off-road riding, as well as for urban traffic
“eMTB”: Optimal assistance whatever the terrain, rapid
acceleration when starting from a standstill, improved
dynamics and top performance.
– “TURBO”: Maximum assistance, supporting the highest
speed for sporty riding
