Once switched on, the eBike system is in the "OFF" mode.
– "ECO": Effective assistance at maximum efficiency for
maximum cruising range
– "TOUR": Uniform assistance, for touring with long cruising
range
– "SPORT": Powerful assistance for sportive riding off road
as well as for urban traffic
– "TURBO": Maximum assistance, supporting highest ca-
dence for sportive riding

Switching the Push-assistance mode On/Off
The push-assistance feature makes it easier to push the
eBike. The speed in this function depends on the set gear and
cannot exceed 6 km/h (max.). The lower the set gear, the low-
er the speed in the push-assistance function (at full output).
 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.
To activate the push-assistance function, briefly press but-
ton "WALK" on your on-board computer. After activation,
press button "+" within 3 s and keep it pressed. The eBike
drive is switched on.
Note: The push assistance cannot be activated in the "OFF"
assistance level.
The push assistance is switched off as soon as one of the fol-
lowing occurs:
– you release button "+" ,
– the wheels of the eBike are blocked (e.g. by actuating the
brakes or impacting against an obstacle),
– the speed exceeds 6 km/h.
Note: On some systems the push-assistance function can be
started directly by pressing the "WALK" button.
Note: A speed of 18 km/h (start assistance) can be reached
on some systems.
Bosch eBike Systems
Switching bike lights on/off
In the version which has the bike lights powered by the eBike
system, the front and rear lights can be switched on and off at
the same time via the on-board computer.
Notes on Riding with the eBike System
When does the eBike Drive Unit Operate?
The eBike drive unit assists you when riding, as long as you
step into the pedals. Without pedaling, there is no assistance.
The motor output always depends on the amount of your ped-
aling power.
When applying less pedaling power, the assistance or support
will be lower than when applying a lot of pedaling power. This
applies independent of the assistance Level.
The eBike drive automatically switches off at speeds in excess
of 45 km/h. When the speed falls below 45 km/h, the drive is
automatically available again.
An exception applies to the start-assistance function, in
which the eBike can be driven at low speed without pedalling.
55%
The pedals may also rotate when the start assistance is used
120%
The eBike can also be ridden as a normal bicycle without as-
190%
sistance at any time, by either switching off the eBike system
or setting the assistance level to "OFF". The same applies
275%
when the battery pack is empty.
Interaction of the eBike System with the Bicycle Gears
The bicycle gears should be used as with a normal bicycle,
even with eBike motor assistance (please observe the operat-
ing instructions of your eBike).
Independent of the type of gearing, it is recommended to
briefly interrupt the pedaling while changing gears. This
makes changing gears easier and reduces the wear of the
drive train.
By selecting the right gear, you can increase the speed and
range with the same pedaling effort.
Gathering First Experience
It is recommended to gather first experience with the eBike
away from roads with heavy traffic.
Test the various assistance levels. Start with the lowest assis-
tance level. As soon as you feel confident, you can ride your
eBike in traffic like any other bike.
Test the operating range of your eBike under different condi-
tions before planning longer and more challenging rides.
