Gathering First Experience
It is recommended to gather first experience with the eBike
away from roads with heavy traffic.
Try out the different assistance levels. As soon as you feel
safe, you can participate in traffic with the eBike as with any
other bicycle.
Test the operating range of your eBike under different condi-
tions before planning longer and more challenging rides.
Influences on the Operating Range
The operating range depends on many factors, such as:
– Assistance level,
– Gear-switching behaviour,
– Bicycle tyres and tyre pressure,
– Age and condition of the battery pack,
– Route profile (inclines) and road or path conditions (road
or path surface),
– Head wind and ambient temperature,
– Weight of the eBike, rider and equipment/luggage.
For this reason, it is not possible to precisely predict the
range before commencing a trip. General rules:
– For the same motor output of the eBike drive: The less
power or force that you have to bring about to reach a cer-
tain speed (e.g. through optimal use of the gears), the less
energy the eBike drive will consume, and the greater the
range for a battery-pack charge.
– The higher the assistance level under otherwise same con-
ditions, the lower the range.
Careful Handling of the eBike
Please observe the operating and storage temperatures of the
eBike components. Protect the drive unit, HMI and battery
pack against extreme temperatures (e.g. from intense sun-
light without adequate ventilation). The components (espe-
cially the battery pack) can become damaged through ex-
treme temperatures.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Keep all components of your eBike clean, especially the bat-
tery-pack contacts and corresponding holder contacts. Clean
them carefully with a soft, damp cloth.
All components including the drive unit may not be immersed
in water or cleaned with a high-pressure cleaner.
For service or repairs on the eBike, please refer to an author-
ised bicycle dealer.
After-sales Service and Customer Assistance
In case of questions concerning the eBike system and its com-
ponents, please refer to an authorised bicycle dealer.
For contact data of authorised bicycle dealers, please refer to
www.bosch-ebike.com
Transport
The battery packs are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legis-
lation requirements. Private users can transport undamaged
battery packs by road without further requirements.
When being transported by commercial users or third parties
(e.g. air transport or forwarding agency), special require-
ments on packaging and labelling must be observed (e.g. ADR
regulations). If necessary, an expert for hazardous materials
can be consulted when preparing the item for shipping.
Dispatch battery packs only when the housing is undamaged.
Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the battery pack
in such a manner that it cannot move around in the packaging.
Inform your parcel service that the package contains danger-
ous goods. Please also observe the possiblity of more de-
tailed national regulations.
In case of questions concerning transport of the battery
packs, please refer to an authorised bicycle dealer. Bicycle
dealers can also provide suitable transport packaging.
Disposal
The drive unit, HMI (incl. operating unit), battery
pack, speed sensor, accessories and packaging
should be sorted for environmental-friendly recy-
cling.
Do not dispose of eBikes and their components into house-
hold waste!
Only for EC countries:
According to the European Guideline
2012/19/EU, electrical devices/tools that
are no longer usable, and according to the
European Guideline 2006/66/EC, defec-
tive or used battery packs/batteries, must
be collected separately and disposed of in
an environmentally correct manner.
The integrated battery pack in the HMI may only be removed
for disposal. Opening the housing shell can damage or de-
stroy the HMI.
Please return battery packs that are no longer usable to an
authorised bicycle dealer.
Li-ion:
Please observe the instructions in sec-
tion “Transport”, page English–7.
Subject to change without notice.

Safety Notes
Read all safety warnings
and all instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and in-
structions may result in elec-
tric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term “battery pack” used in these operating instructions
refers both to standard battery packs (battery packs with
holder on the bike frame) and to rack-type battery packs (bat-
tery packs with holder in the rear rack/carrier), except when
explicitly referring to the design type.

Remove the battery pack from the eBike before begin-
ning work (e.g. assembly, maintenance, work on the
chain, etc.) on the eBike, transporting it by car or
plane, or storing it. Unintentional activation of the eBike
system poses a risk of injury.
 Do not open the battery pack. Danger of short-circuiting.
Opening the battery pack voids any and all warranty claims.
Protect the battery pack against heat (e.g., also
against continuous intense sunlight), fire and
immersing into water. Danger of explosion.
 Keep the battery pack not being used away from paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal ob-
jects, that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery-pack terminals together
may cause burns or a fire. For short-circuiting damage
caused in this manner, any and all warranty claims through
Bosch shall be invalid.
 Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery pack. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi-
tionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the bat-
tery pack may cause skin irritations or burns.
 Battery packs must not be subjected to mechanical im-
pacts. There is a risk that the battery pack will be damaged.
 Vapours can escape in case of damage and improper
use of the battery pack. Provide for fresh air and seek
medical attention in case of complaints. The vapours
can irritate the respiratory system.
 Charge the battery pack only with original Bosch bat-
tery chargers. When using non-original Bosch chargers,
the danger of fire cannot be excluded.
 Use the battery pack only together with eBikes that
have an original Bosch eBike drive system. This is the
only way to protect the battery pack against dangerous
overload.
 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 us-
ing other battery packs, Bosch shall not assume any liabil-
ity and warranty.
 Please read and observe the safety warnings and in-
structions enclosed in the operating instructions of the
charger and drive unit/drive HMI (Human Machine In-
terface), as well as in the operating instructions of your
eBike.
 Keep the battery pack out of reach of children.
