Safety Notes
Read all safety warnings and all instruc-
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" is used in these instructions to mean all
original Bosch eBike rechargeable battery packs.
Do not open the drive unit yourself. The drive unit must
be repaired only by qualified experts and only with
original spare parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
drive unit is maintained. Unauthorised opening of the 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 ap-
proved for your eBike by the bicycle manufacturer. This
protects the drive unit against overload and damage.
Remove the battery pack from the eBike before begin-
ning work (e.g. inspection, repair, assembly, mainte-
nance, work on the chain, etc.) on the eBike, transport-
ing it by car or plane, or storing it. Unintentional
activation of the eBike system poses a risk of injury.
The eBike system can be activated by pushing the
eBike backwards or by turning the pedals backwards.
The push-assistance function may only be used when
pushing the eBike. Danger of injury when the wheels of
the eBike do not have ground contact while using the push-
assistance function.
When the push-assistance function is activated, the
pedals turn at the same time. When the push-assistance
function is activated, make sure that there is enough space
between your legs and the turning 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.
Bosch eBike Systems
After a ride, do not allow your unprotected hands or
legs to come into contact with the aluminium housing
of the drive unit. Under extreme conditions, such as con-
tinuously high torques at low travel speeds, or when riding
up hills or carrying loads, very high temperatures may be
reached on the aluminium housing.
The temperatures that may be reached at the drive unit
housing are influenced by the following factors:
– Ambient temperature
– Ride profile (route/gradient)
– Ride duration
– Assistance modes
– User behaviour (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
Do not make any modifications to your eBike system or
fit any other products which would be suitable for in-
creasing the performance of your eBike system. This
normally reduces the lifetime of the system and risks
damage to the drive unit and the bike. There is also a risk of
losing the guarantee and warranty claims on the bike you
have purchased. 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 attributable to manipulation.
Please observe all national regulations on registering
and using eBikes.
Read and observe the safety warnings and instructions
in all operating instructions of the eBike system and in
the operating instructions of your eBike.
