tions. Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term “battery pack” used inthese operating instructions,
irrespective of model, refers both to standard battery packs
(batterypackswithholderon thebikeframe) andtorack-type
battery packs (battery packs with holder in the rear rack/
carrier).
Donotopenthedrive unit yourself. The driveunitmust
be repaired only by qualified experts and only with
original spare parts.This will ensure thatthe safety of the
driveunitis maintained.Unauthorisedopeningofthe drive
unit will void warranty claims.
All components mounted to the drive unit and all other
components of the eBike drive (e.g., the chainwheel,
chainwheel seat, pedals) may be replaced only with
identical components or components specifically
approved for your eBike by the bicycle manufacturer.
This protects the drive unit against overload and damage.
Remove the battery pack from the eBike before be-
ginning work (e.g. inspection, repair, assembly, main-
tenance, work on the chain, etc.) on the eBike, trans-
porting it by car or plane, or storing it. Unintentional
activation of the eBike system poses a risk of injury.
TheeBike system can switch itself on when the eBikeis
pushed backwards.
The push-assistance function may only be used when
pushing the eBike. Danger of injury when the wheels of
theeBike do not haveground contact while using the push-
assistance function.
If the push assistance is switched on, the pedals will
alsorotateonbikeswithback-pedallingfunction.When
the push assistance is activated, make sure that your legs
are a sufficient distance away from the rotating pedals.
There is a risk of injury.
Use only original Bosch battery packs approved for
your eBike by the manufacturer. Using other battery
packs can lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard. When
using other battery packs, Bosch shall not assume any
liability and warranty.
Do not make any modifications to your eBikesystemor

Assembly
Inserting and removing the battery pack
Forinsertingand removing the eBike battery pack in/from the
eBike, please read and observe the battery pack operating in-
structions.
Checking the Speed Sensor (see figure A)
The speed sensor 2and its spoke magnet 3must be mounted
in such a manner 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 distance between speed sensor 2and spoke mag-
net 3is too small or too large, or if the speed sensor 2is not
properly connected, the speed indication will fail, and the
eBike drive unit will operate in emergency mode.
In this case, loosen the screw of the spoke magnet 3and fas-
ten the spoke magnet to the spoke in such a manner that it
runs past the mark of the speed sensor at the correct clear-
ance. If the speed is still not being indicated in the speed indi-
cation after this, please contact an authorised bicycle dealer.

The following assistance levels (max.) are available:
–“OFF”:The motorassistanceisswitchedoff,and theeBike
can be moved as a normal bicycle only by pedalling. The
push assistance cannot be activated in this assistance
level.
Once switched on,the eBike system isin the “OFF” mode.
–“ECO”: Effective assistance at maximum efficiency for
maximum cruising range
–“TOUR”:Uniformassistance,fortouringwith long cruising
range
–“SPORT”: Powerful assistance for sportive riding off road
as well as for urban traffic
–“TURBO”: Maximum assistance, supporting highest ca-
dence for sportive riding
The requested motor output appears on the display of the on-
boardcomputer.Themaximum motor output depends on the
selected assistance level.
Switching the Push-assistance mode On/Off
The push-assistance feature makes it easier to push the
eBike. The speed in this function depends on the set gear and
cannotexceed6 km/h(max.). Thelower thesetgear, thelow-
er the speed in the push-assistance function (at full output).
The push-assistance function may only be used when
pushing the eBike. Danger of injury when the wheels of
theeBike do not haveground contact while using the push-
assistance function.
To activate the push-assistance function, briefly press but-
ton “WALK” on your on-board computer. After activation,
press button “+” within 3 s and keep it pressed. The eBike
drive is switched on.
Note: The push assistance cannot be activated in the “OFF”
assistance level.
The push assistance is switched off as soon as one of the fol-
lowing occurs:
– you release button “+” ,
– the wheels of the eBike are blocked (e.g. by actuating the
brakes or impacting against an obstacle),
– the speed exceeds 6 km/h.
Note: On some systems the push-assistance function can be
started directly by pressing the “WALK” button.
Note: A speed of 18 km/h (start assistance) can be reached
on some systems.
Switching bike lights on/off
In the version which has the bike lights powered by the eBike
system,the frontandrear lights can be switched on and off at
the same time via the on-board computer.
Notes on Riding with the eBike System
When does the eBike Drive Unit Operate?
The eBike drive unit assists you when riding, as long as you
stepintothe pedals. Without pedaling, there is no assistance.
The motor output always depends on the amount of your ped-
aling power.
Whenapplyinglesspedalingpower,theassistanceorsupport
will be lower than when applying a lot of pedaling power. This
applies independent of the assistance Level.
TheeBike driveautomatically switchesoffat speeds inexcess
of 45 km/h. When the speed falls below 45 km/h, the drive is
automatically available again.
An exception applies to the start-assistance function, in
whichthe eBike can bedriven at low speed without pedalling.
The pedals may also rotate when the start assistance is used
The eBike can also be ridden as a normal bicycle without as-
sistance at any time, by either switching off the eBike system
or setting the assistance level to “OFF”. The same applies
when the battery pack is empty.
Interaction of the eBike System with the Bicycle Gears
The bicycle gears should be used as with a normal bicycle,
even with eBike motor assistance (please observe the operat-
ing instructions of your eBike).
Independent of the type of gearing, it is recommended to
briefly interrupt the pedaling while changing gears. This
makes changing gears easier and reduces the wear of the
drive train.
By selecting the right gear, you can increase the speed and
range with the same pedaling effort.
Gathering First Experience
It is recommended to gather first experience with the eBike
away from roads with heavy traffic.
Test the various assistance levels. Start with the lowest assis-
tance level. As soon as you feel confident, you can ride your
eBike in traffic like any other bike.
Test the operating range of your eBike under different condi-
tions before planning longer and more challenging rides.
Assistance Level Assistance Factor*

Influences on the Operating Range
The range is affected by a number of factors, such as:
– Assistance level
–Speed
–Gearchangingbehaviour
– Tyre type and tyre pressure
– Age and condition of the battery
– Route profile (gradients)and conditions (roadsurface)
– Headwind and ambient temperature
– Weight of eBike, driver and luggage.
For this reason, it is not possible to precisely predict the
range before and during a trip. General rules:
–Withthesameassistancelevel on the eBike drive:Theless
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 bat-
tery charge will be.
–Thehighertheassistancelevelunderotherwise same con-
ditions, the lower the range.
Careful Handling of the eBike
Pleaseobservetheoperatingand storagetemperaturesof the
eBikecomponents.Protectthedriveunit,on-boardcomputer
and battery against extreme temperatures (e.g. from intense
sunlight without adequate ventilation). The components (es-
pecially the battery pack) can become damaged through ex-
treme temperatures.

Displays and configurations of the on-board
computer
Energy supply of the on-board computer
If the on-board computer is in the holder 4, a sufficiently
charged battery pack is inserted in the eBike and the eBike
system is turned on, then the on-board computer is powered
by the battery pack of the eBike.
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder 4, the
energy is supplied via an internal battery pack. If the internal
batterypackis weakwhentheon-boardcomputer isswitched
on, “Attach to bike” will appear in text indication dfor 3 s.
The on-board computer will then turn off again.
Tochargetheinternal battery pack, put the on-board comput-
er back in the holder 4(when a battery pack is inserted in the
eBike). Switch the eBike battery pack on by its On/Off button
(see battery pack operating instructions).
You can also charge the on-board computer via the USB port.
Open the protective cap 8. Connect the USB port 7of the on-
board computer via a suitable USB cable to a standard USB
charger or the USB port of a computer (5 V charging voltage,
max. 500 mA charging current). “USB connected” will ap-
pear in text indication dof the on-board computer.
Switching on/shutting down the on-board computer
Toswitchon the on-board computer, brieflypress the On/Off
button 5. The on-board computer can also be switched on
when it is not inserted in the holder (if the internal battery
pack is sufficiently charged).
To switch off the on-board computer, press the On/Off
button 5.
If the on-board computer is not inserted in the holder, it
automatically switches off after 1 minute to save energy if no
button is pressed.
If you do not use your eBike for several weeks, remove
the on-board computer from its holder. Store the on-
board computer in a dry environment at room temperature.
Regularly recharge the on-board computer’s battery pack.
Battery Charge-control Indicator
The battery charge-control indicator idisplays the charge level
of the eBike battery pack, not that of the on-boardcomputer’s
internalbatterypack. Thecharge leveloftheeBikebatterypack
can also be checked on the LEDs of the battery pack itself.
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder 4, the
last displayed battery charge level is saved.
If an eBike is operated with two battery packs, the battery
charge-control indicator idisplays the level of both battery
packs.
If an eBike has two battery packs insert-
ed into it and both battery packs are
charged on the bike, the charging pro-
gress of both battery packs will be indi-
cated on the display (the left-hand bat-
tery pack is being charged in the
illustration).You can tellby the flashing
indicator on the battery pack which of
the two battery packs is being charged.
Setting the Assistance Level
On the operating unit 9you can set how much the eBike drive
assists you while pedalling. The assistance level can be

lessassistancelevelsareavailablefor selection than listedhere.
The following assistance levels (max.) are available:
–“OFF”: The motor assistance is switched off, and the eBike
can be moved as a normal bicycle only by pedalling. The
pushassistancecannotbe activated in this assistancelevel.
–“ECO”: Effective assistance at maximum efficiency for
maximum cruising range
–“TOUR”:Uniformassistance,for touringwithlongcruising

Interaction of the eBike System with the Bicycle Gears
The bicycle gears should be used as with a normal bicycle,
even with eBike motor assistance (please observe the operat-
ing instructions of your eBike).
Independent of the type of gearing, it is recommended to
briefly interrupt the pedaling while changing gears. This
makes changing gears easier and reduces the wear of the
drive train.
By selecting the right gear, you can increase the speed and
range with the same pedaling effort.
For this reason, follow the shift recommendations provided
by indications gand hon your display. If indication gis dis-
played, you should shift to a higher gear with lower cadence.
Ifindicationhis displayed,you shouldselectalowergear with
higher cadence.
Switching bike lights on/off
In the model in which the lighting is powered by the eBike sys-
tem,the front andrearlightscan be switchedonandoffat the
same time via the on-board computer with button 2.
Whenthelightingisswitchedon“Lightson”appears andwhen
thelightingis switched off “Lights off” appears for approx. 1 s
intextindicationd. The lighting symbol cis displayed when the
light is on.
Switching the bike light on and off has no effect on the back
lighting of the display.
Switching the Push-assistance mode On/Off
The push-assistance feature makes it easier to push the
eBike. The speed in this function depends on the set gear and
cannotexceed6 km/h(max.).Thelower thesetgear,the low-
er the speed in the push-assistance function (at full output).
The push-assistance function may only be used when
pushing the eBike. Danger of injury when the wheels of
theeBike do not haveground contact while using the push-
assistance function.
To activate the push-assistance function, briefly press but-
ton “WALK” on your on-board computer. After activation,
press button “+” within 3 s and keep it pressed. The eBike
drive is switched on.
Note: The push assistance cannot be activated in the “OFF”
assistance level.
The push assistance is switched off as soon as one of the fol-
lowing occurs:
– you release button “+” 12,
– the wheels of the eBike are blocked (e.g. by actuating the
brakes or impacting against an obstacle),
– the speed exceeds 6 km/h.
Note: On some systems the push-assistance function can be
started directly by pressing the “WALK” button.
