The charge state of the battery is visible through the 5 led indicators on the battery (the battery cover
must be removed to view the state) or from the trip computer, once it is turned on.
The battery can be removed by removing the battery cover beforehand. To remove the latter it is
necessary to centrally press the removal button at the bottom of the down tube shown in Figure 12. To
refit the battery cover, you must press the button sideways as shown in Figure 12.
The battery is released by turning the supplied key clockwise as shown in Figure 13. The battery will
be released from its support, but will be held in place to prevent accidental dropping. To completely
remove the battery, you must press down the tab as shown in Figure 14.

The battery is very heavy, be careful when removing the battery. Bianchi is not liable for any
damage caused by accidental falls. Do not insert the charger or use the pedal-assist bicycle
without properly positioning the battery. It is strictly forbidden to use water or solvents to clean
the battery or battery support.
For E-OMNIA X-Type and FX-Type models, the battery state is shown as in Figure 15, each battery
indicator corresponds to 20% charge. When the battery is completely exhausted, assistance will be
progressively reduced. The battery will power the lights for approximately 2 hours.
For E-OMNIA T-Type (man and lady), C-Type, FT-Type models, the battery state is shown as a per-
centage on the screen. When the battery is completely exhausted, assistance will be progressively
reduced. The battery will power the lights for approximately 2 hours.
For details, error codes, maintenance, and support in the event of a problem, refer to the specific
Bosch PowerTube 400, 500, 625 manual.
To avoid compromising the total battery capacity and performance, perform frequent charging
cycles and do not leave the battery fully discharged for more than 24h.

Do not use harsh cleaning agents for cleaning. Do not use sharp or metallic objects to clean.
Never clean the pedal-assist bike with a violent jet of water or with high-pressure equipment
such as pressure washers. Bianchi is not liable for damage to the motor, batteries, or electrical
parts caused by water ingress due to high-pressure jets.
For cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to have:
• Clean cloth
• Lukewarm water with a little mild soap
• Soft brush or sponge
• Paint protection products
• Chain lubricant
Frequently clean the pedal-assist bicycle, even if it is not very dirty. Be sure to wipe all surfaces and
components (except brakes, gear shifts, and chain) with a sponge moistened with warm water and
neutral or mild soap. Always rinse with a sponge moistened with lukewarm water and remove all soap
residues. Dry all parts with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, apply a paint protection product (refer to your
dealer for the most suitable product). Do not use products to treat the brake discs. After cleaning the
bicycle, lubricate the chain with suitable chain oil (refer to your dealer for any questions). For addi-
tional information on cleaning the individual components, refer to the manufacturer' s specifications.

4. MAINTENANCE

The proper operation of the pedal-assist bicycle depends largely on its proper maintenance. Do not
service your bicycle if you do not have sufficient skills. Instead refer to a specialist dealer.
Special attention should be paid to:
• The correct torque of all screws and pins; if you do not have a torque wrench, refer to a specialist
dealer.
• Possible oil leaks from the brake system. In that case, contact a dealer immediately.
• Possible fluid leaks from the battery. In that case, contact a dealer immediately.
• Possible smoke coming from the battery. In that case, contact a dealer immediately.

4.1 INSPECTION INTERVALS

Compliance with the inspection intervals is in the interest of the user to ensure the correct operation
and safety of the bicycle. Bianchi reserves the right, in the event of a service request under warranty,
to verify whether the contested defect could be avoided by regular maintenance. On the basis of this
verification, Bianchi reserves the right to deny the service under warranty. A first bicycle service must
be carried out 30/60 days after purchase and mandatorily within 500 km (or 310 miles) of use. The
service is carried out at the specialist dealer and includes the following items:
• Tread wear check
• Check and/or adjustment of spoke tightening and centring
• Hub clearance check
• Check for quick lock or pin tightness
• Adjustment of chain or belt tightness and check for wear
• Check for wear and adjustment of steering set clearances
• Check for handlebar screws tightness
