Operating your Bosch drive unit
Read and understand all safety warn-
ings and instructions. Failure to follow
the below warnings could result in death
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.
Read and observe the safety warnings and in-
u
structions in all operating instructions of the
eBike system and your eBike.
Do not make any modifications to the drive, par-
u
ticularly with regard to maximum performance
and speed. Doing this may put yourself and others
at risk, and will breach statutory regulations.
Do not open the drive unit. The drive unit must
u
be repaired using only original spare parts and
only by an authorized bicycle retailer. This will
ensure that the eBike remains safe to use. Unautho-
rized opening of the drive unit will render warranty
claims null and void.
Remove the eBike battery from the eBike before
u
beginning work (e.g. inspection, repair, assem-
bly, maintenance, work on the chain, etc.) on
the eBike, transporting it by car or airplane, or
storing it. Unintentional activation of the eBike
poses a risk of injury.
The eBike can be switched on by pushing the
u
eBike backwards or by turning the pedals back-
wards.
The push assistance function must only be used
u
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.
When the push assistance is activated, the ped-
u
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.
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
– Heat dissipation properties of the bicycle frame
– Type of drive unit and type of gear-shifting
Use only original Bosch eBike batteries that the
u
manufacturer has approved for your eBike. Us-
ing other eBike batteries can lead to injuries and
pose a fire hazard. Bosch accepts no liability or
warranty claims if other eBike batteries are used.
Do not make any kind of modifications to the
u
drive. Do not use any products to increase the
performance of the drive. This will result in you
using an illegal mode of transport in public areas.
Moreover, in doing so, you may endanger yourself
and others; accidents that can be attributed to ma-
nipulation run the risk of high personal liability
costs and possibly even criminal prosecution. In ad-
dition, doing so will generally reduce the service life
of the eBike components. The drive unit and eBike
may be damaged and guarantee and warranty
claims on the eBike you have purchased may con-
sequently be voided.
