Assembly
Inserting and removing the battery pack
For inserting and removing the eBike battery pack in/from the
eBike, please read and observe the battery pack operating in-
structions.
Inserting and removing the on-board computer
(see figure A)
To insert the on-board computer 3, slide it from the front into
the holder 4.
To remove the on-board computer 3, press the lock latch 14
and slide the on-board computer toward the front out of the
holder 4.
Remove the on-board computer when you park the
eBike.
It is possible to secure the on-board computer against remov-
al in the holder. To do so, remove the holder 4 from the han-
dlebar. Put the on-board computer in the holder. Screw the
locking screw 15 (thread M3, 8 mm long) from below into the
thread provided in the holder. Mount the holder back onto the
handlebar.
Note: The locking screw is not designed to prevent theft.
Operation
Initial Operation
Requirements
The eBike system can only be activated when the following
requirements are met:
– A sufficiently charged battery pack is inserted (see battery
pack operating instructions).
– The on-board computer is properly inserted in the holder
(see "Inserting and removing the on-board computer",
page English–2).
– The speed sensor is connected properly (see drive unit
operating instructions).
Switching the eBike System On/Off
Options for switching on the eBike system:
– If the on-board computer is already switched on when you
insert it into the holder, then the eBike system will be
switched on automatically.
– When the on-board computer and the eBike battery pack
are inserted, briefly press the On/Off button 5 of the on-
board computer.
– With the on-board computer inserted, push the On/Off
button on the eBike battery (bicycle manufacturer solu-
tions are possible whereby there is no access to the bat-
tery On/Off button; see the battery operating instruc-
tions).
Bosch eBike Systems
The drive is activated as soon as you step on the pedals (ex-
cept for in the push assistance function or in assistance level
"OFF"). The motor output depends on the settings of the as-
sistance level on the on-board computer. As soon as the sys-
tem is activated, "Active Line/Performance Line" will ap-
pear briefly on the display.
As soon as you stop pedaling when in normal operation, or as
soon as you have reached a speed of 25/45 km/h, the assis-
tance from the eBike drive is switched off. The drive is auto-
matically re-activated as soon you start pedaling again and the
speed is below 25/45 km/h.
Options for switching off the eBike system:
– Press the On/Off button 5 of the on-board computer.
– Switch off the eBike battery using its On/Off button (bicy-
cle manufacturer-specific solutions are possible whereby
there is no access to the battery On/Off button; see the bi-
cycle manufacturer operating instructions).
– Remove the on-board computer out of its holder.
If the eBike is not moved and no button is pressed on the on-
board computer for 10 minutes, the eBike system will shut
down automatically in order to save energy.
eShift (optional)
eShift is the integration of electronic gear shifting systems in-
to the eBike system. The eShift components are electrically
connected to the drive unit by the manufacturer. The separate
operating instructions describe how to operate the electronic
gear-shifting systems.
Displays and configurations of the
on-board computer
Energy supply of the on-board computer
If the on-board computer is in the holder 4, a sufficiently
charged battery pack is inserted in the eBike and the eBike
system is turned on, then the on-board computer is powered
by the battery pack of the eBike.
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder 4, the
energy is supplied via an internal battery pack. If the internal
battery pack is weak when the on-board computer is switched
on, "Attach to bike" will appear in text indication d for 3 s.
The on-board computer will then turn off again.
To charge the internal battery pack, put the on-board comput-
er back in the holder 4 (when a battery pack is inserted in the
eBike). Switch the eBike battery pack on by its On/Off button
(see battery pack operating instructions).
You can also charge the on-board computer via the USB port.
Open the protective cap 8. Connect the USB port 7 of the on-
board computer via a suitable USB cable to a standard USB
charger or the USB port of a computer (5 V charging voltage,
max. 500 mA charging current). "USB connected" will ap-
pear in text indication d of the on-board computer.
