Safety instructions
Read all the safety information and instructions. Fail-
ure to observe the safety information and follow instruc-
tions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious in-
jury.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term battery is used in these instructions to mean all original Bosch
eBike rechargeable battery packs.
uDo not allow yourself to be distracted by the on-board computer's
display. If you do not focus exclusively on the traffic, you risk being in-
volved in an accident. If you want to make entries in your on-board com-
puter other than switching the assistance level, stop and enter the appro-
priate data.
uSet the display brightness so that you can adequately see important

uThe on-board computer is equipped with a wireless interface. Local
operating restrictions, e.g. in aeroplanes or hospitals, must be ob-
served.
Safety information relating to the navigation system
uDo not plan your routes whilst you are cycling. Stop and wait until
you are stationary before entering a new destination. If you do not fo-
cus exclusively on the traffic, you risk being involved in an accident.
uAbandon your route if the navigation system suggests a path or road
that is too ambitious, risky or dangerous for you based on your cyc-
ling ability. Have your navigation system propose an alternative route.
uDo not ignore any road signs, even if the navigation system tells you
to take a specific route. The navigation system cannot take roadworks
or temporary diversions into account.
uDo not use the navigation system in situations that are safety-critical
or unclear (road closures, diversions, etc.). Always carry extra maps
and means of communication with you.

met:
– A sufficiently charged eBike battery is inserted (see operating instruc-
tions for the battery).
– The on-board computer is properly fitted to the holder.
Bosch eBike Systems 1 270 020 Ken | (25.08.2020)

English – 15
Switching the eBike system on/off
The following options are available for switching on the eBike system:
– Once the on-board computer and the eBike battery are fitted, briefly
press the on/off button(4) on the on-board computer.
– With the on-board computer inserted, push the on/off button on the
eBike battery (bicycle manufacturer-specific solutions are possible when
there is no access to the battery on/off button; see the battery operating
instructions).
The drive is activated as soon as you start pedalling (except if you are using
the push-assistance function or if the assistance level is set to OFF). The mo-
tor output depends on the settings of the assistance level on the on-board
computer.
As soon as you stop pedalling when in normal operation, or as soon as you
have reached a speed of 25/45km/h, the eBike drive switches off the as-
sistance. The drive is automatically reactivated as soon you start pedalling
again and the speed is below 25/45km/h.
The following options are available for switching off the eBike system:
– Briefly press the on/off button (4) of the on-board computer.
– Switch off the eBike battery using its on/off button (bicycle manufac-
turer-specific solutions are possible when there is no access to the bat-
tery on/off button; see the bicycle manufacturer operating instructions).
– Remove the on-board computer from its holder.
If no power is drawn from the eBike drive for about 10minutes (e.g. because
the eBike is not moving) and no button is pressed on the on-board computer
or the operating unit of the eBike, the eBike system, and therefore also the
battery, will switch off automatically to save energy.
Power supply of the on-board computer
If the on-board computer is in the holder(5), a sufficiently charged eBike
battery is inserted into the eBike and the eBike system is switched on, then
the on-board computer battery is powered and charged by the eBike bat-
tery.
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder(5), the power is sup-
plied by the on-board computer battery. If the on-board computer battery's
charge is running low, a warning message appears on the display.
To charge the on-board computer battery, slide the on-board computer back
onto the holder (5). Note that if you do not charge the eBike battery straight
Bosch eBike Systems 1 270 020 Ken | (25.08.2020)

English – 16
away, the eBike system will automatically switch off after 10 minutes of in-
activity. If this happens, the on-board computer battery will also stop char-
ging.
You can also charge the on-board computer via the USB port(6). To do this,
open the protective cap(17). Use a Micro USB cable to connect the USB
port on the on-board computer to a commercially available USB charger (not
included with the product as standard) or to the USB port of a computer
(max. 5V charging voltage; max. 1000mA charging current).
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder (5), all values for the
functions are saved and can still be scrolled through.
After use, the USB port must be carefully resealed with the protective
cap(17).
If the Kiox battery is not recharged, the date and time will be retained for up
to 6 months. When the on-board computer is switched on again, the date
and time will be reset if a Bluetooth® connection to the app has been estab-
lished and the smartphone has successfully identified the current location
via GPS.
Note: The Kiox only charges while it is switched on.
Note: If the Kiox is switched off during charging via a USB cable, the Kiox can
only be switched on again once the USB cable has been disconnected.
Note: To maximise the lifespan of the on-board computer's battery, it should
be recharged for one hour every three months.
Battery Charge Indicator
The battery charge indicator of the eBike batteryd (see "Start page",
pageEnglish – 27) can be read on the status page and in the status bar.
The eBike battery's state of charge is also indicated by the LEDs on the eBike
battery itself.
Colour of the indicator Explanation
White The eBike battery is over 30%
charged.
Yellow The eBike battery is between 15%
and 30% charged.
Red The eBike battery is between 0%
and 15% charged.
Bosch eBike Systems 1 270 020 Ken | (25.08.2020)

English – 17
Colour of the indicator Explanation
Red + ! The capacity for assisting the drive
has been used up, and assistance is
switched off. The remaining capacity
will be provided for the bike lights
and the on-board computer.
If the eBike battery is being charged on the bike, a corresponding notifica-
tion will be displayed.
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder(5), the state of charge
that was last displayed for the battery is saved.
Storage mode/resetting the Kiox
The on-board computer has an energy-saving storage mode which minim-
ises the rate at which the internal battery discharges. Setting to this mode
erases the date and time.
This mode can only be activated by pressing and holding the on/off but-
ton(4) of the on-board computer for at least 8 seconds.
If the on-board computer does not start when the on/off button(4) is
pressed briefly, the on-board computer is in storage mode.
You can deactivate storage mode by pressing the on/off button(4) for at
least 2 seconds.
The on-board computer detects whether it is in a fully functional condition. If
you press and hold the on/off button(4) for at least 8seconds while in a
fully functional condition, the on-board computer will go into storage mode.
If, contrary to expectations, the Kiox is not in a fully functional condition and
cannot be operated, pressing and holding the on/off button(4) (for at least
8seconds) will reset it. After being reset, the on-board computer will restart
automatically after approx.5seconds. If the Kiox does not restart, press the
on/off button(4) for 2seconds.
To reset the Kiox to its factory settings, select <Settings>→ <Sys set-
tings>→ <Factory reset>. All user data will be lost.
Setting the assistance level
On the operating unit (7), you can set the level of assistance you want the
eBike drive to provide you with while pedalling. The assistance level can be
changed at any time, even while cycling.
Bosch eBike Systems 1 270 020 Ken | (25.08.2020)

English – 18
Note: In some models, the assistance level may be preset and cannot be
changed. There may also be fewer assistance levels available than stated
here.
The following assistance levels are available as a maximum:
–OFF: Motor assistance is switched off. The eBike can just be moved by
pedalling, as with a normal bicycle. The push assistance cannot be activ-
ated at this assistance level.
–ECO: Effective assistance with maximum efficiency, for maximum range
–TOUR: Steady assistance, long range for touring
–SPORT/eMTB:
SPORT: Powerful assistance, for mountain biking and cycling in urban
traffic
eMTB: Optimum assistance whatever the terrain, rapid acceleration
when starting from a standstill, improved dynamics and top performance
(eMTB only available in combination with the drive units BDU250P CX,
BDU365, BDU450 CX and BDU480 CX. A software update may be re-
quired.)
–TURBO: Maximum assistance even at high pedalling speeds, for sport
cycling
To increase the assistance level, press the + (12) button on the operating
unit repeatedly until the desired assistance level appears on the display. To
decrease the assistance level, press the – (11) button.
The requested motor output appears on the displayh (see "Start page",
pageEnglish – 27). The maximum motor output depends on the selected
assistance level.
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder(5), the assistance
level that was last displayed is saved.
Switching the push assistance on/off
The push assistance aids you when pushing your eBike. The speed in this
function depends on the selected gear and can reach a maximum of 6km/h.
The lower the selected gear, the lower the speed of the push assistance
function (at full power).
uThe push assistance function must only be used when pushing the
eBike. There is a risk of injury if the wheels of the eBike are not in contact
with the ground while using the push assistance.
Bosch eBike Systems 1 270 020 Ken | (25.08.2020)

English – 19
To activate the push assistance, briefly press the WALK button on your on-
board computer. After activation, press the + button within 3s and keep it
pressed. The eBike drive is switched on.
Note: The push assistance cannot be activated at assistance level OFF.
The push assistance is switched off as soon as one of the following occurs:
– You release the +button;
– The wheels of the eBike are locked (e.g. by applying the brakes or hitting
an obstacle);
– The speed exceeds 6km/h.
The push assistance function is subject to local regulations; the way it works
may therefore differ from the description above, or the function may even
be deactivated completely.
Switching bicycle lights on/off
On the model on which the lighting is powered by the eBike system, the
front and rear lights can be switched on and off at the same time via the on-
board computer using the bike light button(3).
Check that your bike lights are working correctly before every use.
With the light switched on, the lightingc indicator (see "Start page",
pageEnglish – 27) appears in the status bar on the display.
Switching the bike lights on and off has no effect on the backlighting of the
display.
