Operating your Bosch Drive Unit
Safety instructions
Read and understand all safety warn-
ings and instructions. Failure to follow
the below warnings could result in death
or serious injury.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for fu-
ture reference.
The term eBike battery used in these operating in-
structions refers to all original Bosch eBike batteries
from the system generation the smart system.
The terms drive and drive unit used in these operat-
ing instructions refer to all original Bosch drive units
from the system generation the smart system.
uRead and observe the safety warnings and in-
structions in all operating instructions of the
eBike system and your eBike.
uDo not make any kind of modifications to the
drive. Do not use any products to increase the
performance of the drive. This will result in you
using an illegal mode of transport in public areas.
Moreover, in doing so, you may endanger yourself
and others; accidents that can be attributed to ma-
nipulation run the risk of high personal liability
costs and possibly even criminal prosecution. In ad-
dition, doing so will generally reduce the service life
of the eBike components. The drive unit and eBike
may be damaged and guarantee and warranty
claims on the eBike you have purchased may con-
sequently be voided.
uDo not open the drive unit. The drive unit must
be repaired using only original spare parts and
only by an authorized bicycle retailer. This will
ensure that the eBike remains safe to use. Unautho-
rized opening of the drive unit will render warranty
claims null and void.
uRemove the eBike battery from the eBike before
beginning work (e.g. inspection, repair, assem-
bly, maintenance, work on the chain, etc.) on
the eBike. When working on permanently in-
stalled eBike batteries, take particular care to
ensure that the eBike cannot be switched on.
Unintentional activation of the eBike poses a risk of
injury.
uDo not remove permanently installed eBike bat-
teries yourself. Permanently installed eBike bat-
teries must only be installed and removed by au-
thorized bicycle retailers.
Under extreme conditions, such as con-
tinuously high loads at low speed when
riding up hills or carrying loads, parts of
the drive unit can reach temperatures
in excess of140°F.
uAfter a ride, do not allow your unprotected
hands or legs to come into contact with the
housing of the drive unit. Under extreme condi-
tions, such as continuously high torques at low
travel speeds, or when riding up hills or carrying
loads, very high temperatures may be reached on
the housing.
The temperatures that may be reached on the drive
unit housing are influenced by the following factors:
– Ambient temperature
– Ride profile (route/gradient)
– Ride duration
– Assistance modes
– User behavior (personal effort)
– Total weight (rider, eBike, luggage)
– Motor cover on the drive unit
– Heat dissipation properties of the bicycle frame
– Type of drive unit and type of gear-shifting
uUse only original Bosch eBike batteries from the
system generation the smart system that the
manufacturer has approved for your eBike. Us-
ing other eBike batteries can lead to injuries and
pose a fire hazard. Bosch accepts no liability or
warranty claims if other eBike batteries are used.

Safety instructions for the rim magnet
The following safety instructions must be observed
when handling the rim magnet:
uWarning of very strong magnetic fields: The rim
magnet generates a very strong magnetic field
that may influence the magnetic storage media
(e.g. credit card) and electronic devices (e.g.
clock). There is a risk of data loss and damage to
devices. Do not move any media or devices sensi-
tive to magnetic fields into the immediate vicinity of
the rim magnet.
uWarning of hand injuries caused by parts at-
tracted to the magnet: There is a risk of injury if
your fingers or hands get caught between the
magnet and the objects attracted to it. This may
cause skin injuries (e.g. if metal chips are at-
tracted), crushing injuries, contusions or frac-
tures. You can avoid these by being vigilant and
wearing suitable protective clothing.
uDanger to persons with implants and other med-
ical devices, e.g. pacemakers, defribrillators or
insulin pumps:
Keep these away from the immediate vicinity of
the rim magnet.
– The magnet creates a field which can impair the
function of implants and medical devices.
– To avoid impairments, the rim magnet should not
be held directly in front of the chest.
– A minimum distance of 30cm to the chest should
be maintained.
uObserve all national regulations which set out
the approved use of eBikes.
uPlease observe all local, state and federal regu-
lations when registering and using eBikes.
Privacy notice
When connecting the eBike to the Bosch Diagnostic-
Tool3 or when exchanging eBike components, tech-
nical information about your eBike (e.g. manufac-
turer, model, bike ID, configuration data) as well as
regarding the use of the eBike (e.g. total travel time,
energy consumption, temperature) is transmitted to
Bosch eBike Systems (Robert Bosch GmbH) for pro-
cessing your request, in service cases and for the pur-
poses of product improvement. More information on
data processing can be found at

Details on noise emissions on the drive unit
The A-rated emission sound pressure level for the
drive unit is <70dB(A) in standard operating mode.
If the eBike is moved without authorization, the drive
unit generates an alarm tone as a key feature of the
<eBike Alarm> service. This alarm tone may exceed
the emission sound pressure level of 70dB(A) and is
80dB(A) two meters away from the drive unit. The
alarm tone is only available after activating the
<eBike Alarm> service and can be deactivated again
via the eBike Flow app.

Speed Sensor (slim)
The speed sensor(1) and its CenterLock magnet(3)
or spoke magnet(2) are mounted ex works in such a
manner that the magnet, after a turn of the wheel,
moves past the speed sensor with a clearance of at
least 2mm, yet no more than 15mm.
The correct distance between the magnet and sensor
must be maintained (see figureA) if design changes
are made.
Notes: Ensure that you do not damage the sensor or
sensor bracket when fitting or removing the rear
wheel.
When changing a wheel, make sure that the sensor
cable is routed so that it is not under tension and has
no kinks.
The CenterLock magnet(3) can only be removed and
reinserted up to five times.
Rim magnet
When installing a rim magnet, no sensor is required to
detect a wheel turn. The drive unit itself detects when
the magnet is close to it and calculates the speed and
any other data required from the frequency of the
emergence of the magnet field.
Since the drive unit is sensitive to magnetic fields,
avoid other magnetic fields in the vicinity of the drive
unit (e.g. magnetic clipless pedals, magnetic cadence
sensors, etc.) in order to prevent disruption to the
drive unit.

Operation
An operating unit from the system generation the
smart system is required for starting operation of the
eBike. Observe the operating instructions for the op-
erating unit and additional components from the sys-
tem generation the smart system where necessary.
Notes on cycling with your eBike
Note: The eBike system always starts in OFF mode
for drive units with a maximum speed of more than
20mph.
When does the drive take effect?
The drive assists your cycling only when you are ped-
aling. If you do not pedal, the assistance will not work.
The drive power always depends on the pedaling
force you apply.
If you apply less force, you will receive less assistance
than if you apply a lot of force. This applies irrespec-
tive of the assistance level.
The drive automatically switches off at speeds over
20/28mph. When the speed falls below 20/28mph,
the drive automatically becomes available again.
An exception applies to the push assistance function,
in which the eBike can be pushed at low speed with-
out pedaling. The pedals may rotate when the push
assistance is in use.
You can also use the eBike as a normal bicycle with-
out assistance at any time, either by switching off the
eBike or by setting the assistance level to OFF. The
same applies when the eBike battery is drained.
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.
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 behavior
– Tire type and tire pressure
– Age and condition of the eBike battery
– Route profile (gradients) and conditions (road sur-
face)
– Headwind and ambient temperature
– Weight of eBike, rider and luggage
For this reason, it is not possible to predict the range
accurately before and during a trip. However, as a
general rule:
– With the same assistance level on the 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 drive will consume and the
higher the range per battery charge will be.
– The higher the selected assistance level under oth-
erwise constant conditions, the smaller the range
will be.
