Safety instructions
Read all the safety information and
instructions. Failure to observe the
safety information and follow instruc-
tions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for fu-
ture reference.
The term eBike battery used in these operating in-
structions refers to all original Bosch eBike batteries.
uRead and observe the safety warnings and in-
structions in all operating instructions of the
eBike system and your eBike.
uDo not allow yourself to be distracted by the dis-
play of the on-board computer. If you do not con-
centrate exclusively on the traffic around you, you
risk being involved in an accident. If you want to
change any settings on the on-board computer
other than the assistance level, always stop before
entering the relevant data.
uSet the display brightness such that you can ad-
equately see important information like speed
or warning symbols. An incorrectly set display
brightness can result in dangerous situations.
uDo not open the on-board computer. Opening the
on-board computer can result in irreparable dam-
age and void your warranty.
uDo not use the on-board computer as a handle.
Lifting the eBike up by the on-board computer can
cause irreparable damage to the on-board com-
puter.
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.
uWhen the push assistance is activated, the ped-
als may turn at the same time. When the push as-
sistance function is activated, make sure that there
is enough space between your legs and the turning
pedals to avoid the risk of injury.
uWhen using the push assistance, ensure that
you can always control the eBike and hold it se-
curely. The push assistance can be suspended un-
der certain conditions (e.g. obstacle on the pedal
or accidentally slipping off the button of the operat-
ing unit). The eBike can suddenly move backwards
towards you or start to tip. This poses a particular
risk for the user if there is an additional load. When
using the push assistance on the eBike, do not
place the eBike in situations in which you cannot
hold the eBike by yourself.
uDo not stand your eBike upside down on its sad-
dle and handlebars if the on-board computer or
its holder protrude from the handlebars. This
may irreparably damage the on-board computer or
the holder. Also remove the on-board computer be-
fore placing the eBike on a wall mount to ensure
that the on-board computer does not fall off or be-
come damaged.
uCaution! When using the operating unit with
Bluetooth®, this may cause interference that affects
other devices and systems, airplanes and medical
devices (e.g. pacemakers, hearing aids). Similarly,
the possibility that this may cause damage to hu-
mans and animals in the immediate vicinity cannot
be completely excluded. Do not use the operating
unit with Bluetooth® in the vicinity of medical de-
vices, gas stations, chemical plants, areas with a
potentially explosive atmosphere or on blast sites.
Do not use the operating unit with Bluetooth® in air-
planes. Avoid using the device in close proximity to
your body over an extended period of time.

English – 12
The drive is activated as soon as you start pedaling
(except for in the push assistance function or with the
assistance level OFF). The drive output depends on
the settings of the assistance level.
As soon as you stop pedaling when in normal opera-
tion, or as soon as you have reached a speed of
20/28mph, the drive switches off the assistance.
The drive is automatically re-activated as soon you
start pedaling again and the speed is below
20/28mph.
The following options are available for switching off
the eBike:
– Briefly press the on/off button (4) of the on-board
computer.
– Switch off the eBike battery using its on/off button
(bicycle manufacturer-specific solutions are possi-
ble when there is no access to the eBike battery on/
off button; see the bicycle manufacturer operating
instructions).
– Remove the on-board computer from its holder.
If no power is drawn from the drive for about10min-
utes (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 will switch off
automatically.
Energy supply of the on-board computer
If the on-board computer is in the holder(5), a suffi-
ciently charged eBike battery is inserted into the
eBike and the eBike is switched on, then the on-board
computer's internal battery is powered and charged
by the eBike battery.
If the on-board computer is removed from the
holder(5), the power is supplied by the on-board
computer's internal battery. If the charge of the on-
board computer's internal battery is running low, a
warning message appears on the display.
To charge the on-board computer's internal battery,
slide the on-board computer back onto the
holder(5). Note that if you do not charge the eBike
battery straight away, the eBike will automatically
switch off after tenminutes of inactivity. If this hap-
pens, the on-board computer's internal battery will
also stop charging.
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 cur-
rent).
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder
(5), all values of the functions are saved and are still
displayed.
Following use, the USB port must be carefully re-
sealed with the protective cap(17).
If the on-board computer's internal 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 maximize the service life of the on-board
computer's internal battery, it should be recharged
for onehour every three months.
Resetting Storage Mode/Kiox
The on-board computer has an energy-saving storage
mode which minimizes 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 button(4) of the on-board com-
puter (for at least eight seconds).
If the on-board computer does not start when the on/
off button(4) is pressed briefly, the on-board com-
puter is in storage mode.

You can deactivate storage mode by pressing the on/
off button(4) for at least two seconds.
The on-board computer detects whether it is in fully
working order. If you press and hold the on/off but-
ton(4) for at least eightseconds while the on-board
computer is in fully working order, it will go into stor-
age 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 eightseconds) will reset it. After being reset,
the on-board computer will restart automatically after
approx.fiveseconds. If the Kiox does not restart,
press the on/off button(4) for twoseconds.
To reset the Kiox to its factory settings, select <Set-
tings>→ <Sys settings>→ <Factory reset>. All

preset and cannot be changed. There may also be
fewer assistance levels available than stated here.
The following assistance levels are available as a max-
imum:
–OFF: Drive assistance is switched off. The eBike
can only be moved by pedaling, as with a normal bi-
cycle. The push assistance cannot be activated at
this assistance level.
–ECO: Effective assistance with maximum effi-
ciency, for maximum range

sired assistance level appears on the display. To de-
crease the assistance level, press the – (11) button.
The requested drive power appears on the dis-
playh(see "Start page", pageEnglish – 16). The
maximum drive power depends on the selected assis-
tance level.
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder
(5) and reinserted, the on-board computer always
starts again at the assistance level OFF.
Switching the push assistance on/off
The push assistance aids you when pushing your
eBike. The speed of this function depends on the se-
lected gear and can reach a maximum of 3.7mph.
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.
To activate the push assistance, briefly press the
WALK button on your on-board computer. After acti-
vation, press the + button within 10s and keep it
pressed. The eBike drive is switched on.
Note: The push assistance cannot be activated at as-
sistance level OFF.
The push assistance is switched off as soon as one of
the following occurs:
– You release the+button(12);
– the wheels of the eBike are locked (e.g. by applying
the brakes or hitting an obstacle);
– the speed exceeds 3.7mph.
The push assistance function is subject to local regu-
lations; the way it works may therefore differ from the
description above. It can also be deactivated.
uDo not activate push assistance function while
riding on the bike. Only use push assitance func-
tion when pushing the eBike.
Switching bicycle lights on/off
On the model in 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 lights button(3).
Before starting each journey, check that your bike
lights are working correctly.
If the lighting is switched on, the bike light indicatorc
(see "Start page", pageEnglish – 16) lights up in the
status bar of the display.
Switching the bike lights on and off has no effect on
the backlighting of the display.

Activity tracking
In order to record activities, you must be registered
with and logged into the eBike Connect portal or the
eBike Connect app.
To record activities, you must consent to the storage
of your location data either in the portal or in the app.
Without this, your activities will not be shown in the
portal or the app. The position is only recorded if you
as a user are logged into the on-board computer.
eShift (optional)
eShift is the integration of electronic gear-shifting
systems into the eBike. The eShift components are
electrically connected to the drive unit by the manu-
facturer. The separate operating instructions de-
scribe how to operate the electronic gear-shifting sys-
tems.
eSuspension (optional)
eSuspension is the integration of electronic shock ab-
sorption and suspension elements into the eBike.
Predefined settings for the eSuspension system can
be selected in the Quick Menu.
For details of these settings, please refer to the oper-
ating instructions provided by the eSuspension man-
ufacturer.
eSuspension is only available in combination with the
Kiox on-board computer and can only be used with
the BDU450 CX, BDU480 CX and BDU490P drive
units.
Lock (premium function)
The lock function is available to purchase from
the<Shop> in the eBike Connect app. Once the lock
function is switched on, the assistance from the eBike
drive unit is deactivated by removing the on-board
computer. Activation is then only possible via the on-
board computer that is associated with the eBike.
More detailed instructions regarding this can be
found in the online operating instructions at
www.Bosch-eBike.com/Kiox-manual.
Software updates
Software updates are transferred from the app to the
on-board computer in the background as soon as the
app is connected with the on-board computer. If an
update has been fully transferred, this is shown three
times upon restarting the on-board computer. The
update can then be started. The eBike should not be
used during the update.
Alternatively, you can check for the presence of any
updates via<Sys settings> and then start these.
Powering external devices from the USB
port
The USB port can be used to operate or charge most
devices that can be powered via USB (e.g. various
mobile phones).
Charging requires the on-board computer to be
mounted and a sufficiently charged eBike battery to
be inserted in the eBike.
Open the protective cap(17) for the USB port on the
on-board computer. Use the Micro A–Micro B USB
charging cable (available from your Bosch eBike
dealer) to connect the USB port of the external device
to the USB port(6) of the on-board computer.
Once the electrical load has been disconnected, the
USB port must be carefully resealed with the protec-
tive cap(17).
uA USB connection is not a watertight plug con-
nection. When cycling in wet conditions, ensure
no external devices are connected and that the
USB port is fully covered by the protective
cap(17).
Attention: Any electrical devices connected can re-
duce the range of the eBike.
