Operating your Bosch drive unit
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 battery pack used in these operating in-
structions refers to all original Bosch eBike battery
packs.
Read and observe the safety warnings and in-
u
structions in all operating instructions of the
eBike system and your eBike.
Do not attempt to change – in particular, to in-
u
crease – the power of your drive or the maxi-
mum speed that it supports. Doing this may put
yourself and others at risk, and you could also
breach statutory regulations.
Do not make any modifications to your eBike
u
system or fit any other products that might in-
crease the performance of your eBike system.
Doing so will generally reduce the service life of the
system and risks damaging the drive unit and the
bike. You also run the risk of losing the guarantee
and warranty claims on the bicycle you have pur-
chased. By handling the system improperly you are
also endangering your safety and that of other road
users, thus running the risk of high personal liability
costs and possibly even criminal prosecution in the
event of accidents that can be attributed to manip-
ulation of the bicycle.
Do not open the drive unit yourself. The drive
u
unit must only be repaired by qualified person-
nel using only original spare parts. This will en-
sure that the safety of the drive unit is maintained.
Unauthorized opening of the drive unit will render
warranty claims null and void.

Safety instructions
All components fitted to the drive unit and all
u
other components of the eBike drive (e.g. chain-
ring, chainring receptacle, pedals) must only be
replaced with identical components or compo-
nents that have been specifically approved by
the manufacturer for your eBike. This will protect
the drive unit from overloading and becoming dam-
aged.
Remove the battery from the eBike before be-
u
ginning work (e.g. inspection, repair, assembly,
maintenance, work on the chain, etc.) on the
eBike, transporting it with a car or airplane, or
storing it. Unintentional activation of the eBike
system poses a risk of injury.
The eBike system can be activated by pushing
u
the eBike backwards or by turning the pedals
backwards.
After a ride, do not allow your unprotected
u
hands or legs to come into contact with the
housing of the drive unit. Under extreme condi-
tions, such as continuously high torques at low
travel speeds, or when riding up hills or carrying
loads, very high temperatures may be reached on
the housing.
The temperatures that may be reached on the drive
unit housing are influenced by the following factors:
– Ambient temperature
– Ride profile (route/gradient)
– Ride duration
– Assistance modes
– User behavior (personal effort)
– Total weight (rider, eBike, luggage)
– Motor cover on the drive unit
Under extreme conditions, such as con-
tinuously high loads at low speed when
riding up hills or carrying loads, parts of
the drive unit can reach temperatures
in excess of 140 °F.
