Interaction of the drive unit with the gear-
shifting
You should shift through gears on an eBike in the
same manner as when using a normal bicycle (ob-
serve the operating instructions of your eBike with re-
gard to this point).
Irrespective of the type of gear shifting, it is advisable
that you briefly reduce the pressure on the pedals
when changing gear. This will aid gear shifting and re-
duce wear on the powertrain.
By selecting the correct gear, you can increase your
speed and range while applying the same amount of
force.
Therefore, follow the gear-shifting recommendations
that are displayed to you on your on-board computer.
Switching bike lights on/off
Before starting each journey, check that your bike
lights are working correctly.
To switch on the bicycle lights, press the bicycle
lights button (5) for more than 1 s.
Switching the push assistance on/off
The push assistance aids you when pushing your
eBike. The maximum speed of the push assistance is
2.5 mph. The manufacturer's default setting can be
lower and may need to be adjusted by the bicycle re-
tailer.
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.
If the selected gear is too high, the drive unit
u
may not be able to move the eBike or activate
the roll-away lock.
To start walk assistance, press the walk assis-
tance (6) button for more than 1 s, keep it pressed
and follow the instructions on the display.
To activate walk assistance, one of the following ac-
tions must occur within the next 10 s:
– Push the eBike forward.
Bosch eBike Systems
– Push the eBike backward.
– Perform a sideways tilting movement with the
eBike.
After activation, the drive begins to push and the indi-
cator on the display changes.
If you release the walk assistance (6) button, walk as-
sistance is stopped. You can reactivate walk assis-
tance within 10 s by pressing the walk assis-
tance (6) button.
If you do not reactivate walk assistance within 10 s,
walk assistance automatically switches off.
Walk assistance is always ended if:
– The rear wheel jams,
– The bicycle cannot move over ridges,
– A body part is blocking the bike crank,
– An obstacle continues to turn the crank,
– You start pedaling,
– The increase assistance level +/bicycle
lights (5) button or on/off button (1) is pressed.
Walk assistance has a roll-away lock, i.e. even after
walk assistance has been used, rolling backwards is
actively curbed by the drive for a few seconds, and
you cannot push the eBike backwards or can only do
so with difficulty.
The roll-away lock is immediately deactivated by
pressing the increase assistance level +/bicycle
lights (5) button.
The push assistance function is subject to local regu-
lations; the way it works may therefore differ from the
description above. It can also be deactivated.
