6 Notes on the e-bike
E-bikes are available with a speed of up to 25 km/h or with a speed of over 25 km/h.
E-bikes with a speed of up to 25 km/h do not require a licence within the EU.
Stricter regulations apply to e-bikes which travel at speeds of over 25 km/h which will
be indicated separately.
The term “e-bike” is used in this original operating manual for both categories.
6.1 Differences between a conventional bicycle and an e-bike
The additional components of the electric drive constitute the major differences
between a conventional bike and an e-bike.
-The e-bike is significantly heavier and its weight distribution is different from
conventional bicycles. This results in different handling.
-The drive has a significant effect on braking characteristics.
-E-bikes require greater braking forces. This may result in greater wear than with
conventional bicycles.
-The electrical assistance will increase your average speed.
•You should therefore cycle attentively. Keep in mind that other road users must
get used to the increased speed of the e-bike.
-The bike's handling and braking, as well as handling of the battery and charger,
require an appropriate level of knowledge.
•Familiarise yourself with the features of your e-bike, even if you already have
some experience with electrically assisted bicycles (See “10.2 Your first ride”
on page 24).
6.2 Functionality
The drive only provides you with riding assistance when you pedal. The intensity of
assistance is automatically adjusted depending on the selected riding mode, the
pressure applied when pedalling, the load and the speed. The drive assists you up to
a speed of 25 km/h.
The A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the driver's ears is less than 70 db(A).

Notes on the e-bike
17
6.3 Range
The drive is an assistive motor. The range is affected by your pedalling intensity.
•Set the assistance as low as possible.
The lower the pedalling frequency of the pedal drive, the higher the energy requirement
for the drive.
•Use the gear shift as you would without assistance.
•For inclines, head wind or a heavy load, use the lower gears of the gear shift.
The drive requires a large amount of energy when starting.
•Always start in a low gear and apply as much pressure to the pedal as possible.
•Before travelling uphill, switch to a lower gear in time.
•Ride with foresight to avoid any unnecessary stops. The energy consumption will
increase with high loads.
•Do not transport any unnecessary loads.
Lack of care and maintenance may reduce the range.
-Handle the e-bike with care and observe all notes regarding the battery in this
user manual.
-Check the tyre pressure regularly.
-Comply with the maintenance intervals.
Temperatures below +10 °C may negatively affect the performance of the battery
during operation. When you are not using your e-bike:
•At low outdoor temperatures, take the battery out of the holder and store it (See
“7.2 Storing the battery” on page 20).
•Only put it back in the holder directly before cycling.
6.4 Cycling with a discharged battery
If the battery charge is completely using up during the ride, you can use your e-bike as
you would a normal bike.

If the battery charge has been used up, the drive will switch off. The lighting
will be supplied with energy for another 2 hours.

6.5 Driving with ABS
CAUTION
Risk of accident and injury!
Failure of the ABS due to incorrectly selected spare parts.
• Seek advice from your specialist dealer about appropriate replacement parts.
• Only use original spare parts.
CAUTION
Risk of accident and injury!
Increased braking distance due to the ABS and an increased risk of falling
during braking manoeuvres in bends.
• Drive with foresight.
• Adapt your driving style to the ambient conditions.
CAUTION
Risk of accident and injury!
Prolonged braking may cause the ABS to stop working.
• Briefly releasing the front brake puts the ABS back into operation.
6.5.1 Privacy statement
When the e-bike is connected to the Bosch DiagnosticTool, data on the use of the
Bosch eBike ABS (including brake pressure, deceleration, etc.) is transmitted to Bosch
eBike Systems (Robert Bosch GmbH) for product improvement purposes. You can find
more information on the Bosch eBike website www.bosch-ebike.com.
6.5.2 Basic information
Depending on the model, your e-bike is equipped with an ABS (anti-lock braking
system).
•Do not make any structural modifications to the anti-lock braking system (See “3
Tuning or manipulation” on page 8).
The ABS prevents the wheels from locking during braking. The road grip remains intact.

4 Brake calliper
The ABS is only available when the battery is charged and inserted.
If the battery charge is used up, the brake system remains functional and only the ABS
control is not available.
The indicator light of the ABS should light up after switching on and should go out at
approx. 5 km/h after you start riding.
If the indicator light does not go out after you start riding or if it lights up during the
ride, there is a fault in the ABS.
The functionality of the brake system is retained, and the ABS control is no longer
present.
When the brakes are applied, the ABS detects the rotation of the wheels through wheel
speed sensors on the front and rear wheels.
If one of the wheels threatens to come to a standstill, the ABS limits the brake pressure
on the front wheel and stabilises it.
The ABS function is terminated by one of the following events:
-The storage chamber in the ABS control unit is completely filled.
-The e-bike has come to a stop.
-The driver releases the brake.
•When switching on the system, check that the ABS indicator light illuminates in
the display.
•Before each ride, check the function of the front and rear brakes.
6.6 Drive overheat protection
CAUTION
Risk of injury!
The drive and battery can become very hot if a fault is at hand. You could
injure yourself in the event of contact with your skin.
• In this case, do not touch the drive and the battery.
The drive is automatically protected against damage caused by overheating. If the
temperature of the drive is too high, the drive will automatically switch off.
•To avoid overheating the drive, set a low level of assistance when the outside
temperature is high or the driving distance rises sharply.
•If the drive switches off when the battery is charged and at a speed of under
25 km/h, do not use the e-bike temporarily to allow the drive to cool off.
•If allowing the drive to cool off does not resolve the disturbance, have your
specialist bike dealer inspect the e-bike.
