Maintenance And Servicing; Maintenance And Cleaning - Bosch BDU3360 Ergänzung Zur Originalbetriebsanleitung

If you apply less force, you will receive less assistance than if
you apply a lot of force. This applies irrespective of the as-
sistance level.
The eBike drive automatically switches off at speeds over
25 km/h. When the speed falls below 25 km/h, the drive
automatically becomes available again.
An exception applies to the push assistance function, in
which the eBike can be pushed at low speed without ped-
alling. The pedals may rotate when the push assistance is in
use.
You can also use the eBike as a normal bicycle without as-
sistance at any time, either by switching off the eBike system
or by setting the assistance level to OFF. The same applies
when the battery is drained.
Interaction between the eBike system and gear-shifting
The gear-shifting should be used with an eBike drive in the
same way as with a normal bicycle (observe the operating in-
structions of your eBike on this point).
Irrespective of the type of gear-shifting, it is advisable to
briefly stop pedalling when changing gear. This will facilitate
the gear change and reduce wear on the powertrain.
By selecting the correct gear, you can increase your speed
and range while applying the same amount of force.
Gaining initial experience
We recommend that you gain initial experience with the
eBike away from busy roads.
Test the various assistance levels, beginning with the lowest
level. As soon as you feel confident, you can ride your eBike
in traffic like any other bicycle.
Test the range of your eBike in different conditions before
planning longer and more demanding trips.
Influences on range
The range is affected by a number of factors, such as:
– Assistance level
– Speed
– Gear shifting behaviour
– Tyre type and tyre pressure
– Age and condition of the battery
– Route profile (gradients) and conditions (road surface)
– Headwind and ambient temperature
– Weight of eBike, rider and luggage
For this reason, it is not possible to predict the range accur-
ately before and during a trip. However, as a general rule:
– With the same assistance level on the eBike drive: The
less energy you need to exert in order to reach a certain
speed (e.g. by changing gears optimally), the less energy
the eBike drive will consume and the higher the range per
battery charge will be.
– The higher the selected assistance level under otherwise
constant conditions, the smaller the range will be.
Taking care of your eBike
Please observe the operating and storage temperatures of
the eBike components. Protect the drive unit, on-board com-
puter and battery against extreme temperatures (e.g. from
intense sunlight without adequate ventilation). Extreme tem-

peratures can cause the components (especially the battery)
to become damaged.
Have your eBike system checked by an expert at least once a
year (including mechanical parts, up-to-dateness of system
software).

Maintenance and servicing

Maintenance and cleaning

When changing the bulbs, ensure that they are compatible
with the Bosch eBike system (ask your bicycle dealer) and
are suitable for the specified voltage. Bulbs must only be re-
placed with bulbs of the same voltage.
Do not immerse any components, including the drive unit, in
water or clean them with pressurised water.
Have your eBike system checked by an expert at least once a
year (including mechanical parts, up-to-dateness of system
software).
Please have your eBike serviced and repaired by an author-
ised bicycle dealer.
After-sales service and advice on using products
If you have any questions about the eBike system and its
components, contact an authorised bicycle dealer.
