cates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or seri-
ous injury.
– The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word WARNING indi-
cates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
– The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word CAUTION indi-
cates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury.
General Warnings
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
death or serious injury.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term battery pack used in these operating instructions refers to all orig-
inal Bosch eBike battery packs.
uRead ALL accompanying manuals before riding the bike for the first
time. Your Bosch Drive System comes with additional manuals and docu-
ments provided by the manufacturer of the bicycle and other compo-
nents. Failure to read and understand safety information can result in
death or serious injury.

uThis manual is intended to be read together with the separate user
manual provided with your bicycle. Be sure to read all provided docu-
ments including labels on the product before your first ride.
uTake responsibility for your own SAFETY. If you have any questions or
do not understand something, consult with your dealer or the bicycle or
component manufacturer.
uSome eBike accessories may present a choking hazard to small chil-
dren. Keep these accessories away from children.

uThe Bosch Drive System adds weight to your bicycle which you may
not be used to lift. Avoid injury, use proper lifting techniques.

Safety instructions
Read all the safety information and instructions. Fail-
ure to observe the safety information and follow instruc-
tions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious in-
jury.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term battery pack used in these operating instructions refers to all orig-
inal Bosch eBike battery packs.
uRead and observe the safety warnings and instructions in all operat-
ing instructions of the eBike system and your eBike.
uDo not allow yourself to be distracted by the display of the on-board
computer. If you do not concentrate exclusively on the traffic around
you, you risk being involved in an accident. If you want to change any set-
tings on the on-board computer other than the assistance level, always
stop before entering the relevant data.
uSet the display brightness such that you can adequately see impor-
tant information like speed or warning symbols. An incorrectly set dis-
play brightness can result in dangerous situations.
uDo not open the on-board computer. Opening the on-board computer
can result in irreparable damage and void your warranty.
uDo not use the on-board computer as a handle. Lifting the eBike up by
the on-board computer can cause irreparable damage to the on-board
computer.
uThe push assistance function must only be used when pushing the
eBike. There is a risk of injury if the wheels of the eBike are not in contact
with the ground while using the push assistance.
uWhen the push assistance is activated, the pedals may turn at the
same time. When the push assistance function is activated, make sure
that there is enough space between your legs and the turning pedals to
avoid the risk of injury.
uWhen using the push assistance, ensure that you can always control
the eBike and hold it securely. The push assistance can be suspended
under certain conditions (e.g. obstacle on the pedal or accidentally slip-
ping off the button of the operating unit). The eBike can suddenly move
backwards towards you or start to tip. This poses a particular risk for the

user if there is an additional load. When using the push assistance on the
eBike, do not place the eBike in situations in which you cannot hold the
eBike by yourself.
uDo not stand your bicycle upside down on its saddle and handlebars
if the on-board computer or its holder protrude from the handlebars.
This may irreparably damage the on-board computer or the holder. Also
remove the on-board computer before placing the bicycle on a wall
mount to ensure that the on-board computer does not fall off or become
damaged.
uCaution! When using the control unit with Bluetooth®, this may cause in-
terference that affects other devices and systems, airplanes and medical
devices (e.g. pacemakers, hearing aids). Similarly, the possibility that
this may cause damage to humans and animals in the immediate vicinity
cannot be completely excluded. Do not use the control unit with
Bluetooth® in the vicinity of medical devices, gas stations, chemical
plants, areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere or on blast sites. Do
not use the control unit with Bluetooth® in airplanes. Avoid using the de-
vice in close proximity to your body over an extended period of time.
uThe Bluetooth® word mark and logos are registered trademarks owned by
Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of such marks by Bosch eBike Systems is
under licence.
uThe on-board computer is fitted with a radio interface. Local operat-
ing restrictions, e.g. in airplanes or hospitals, must be adhered to.
uDo not enter information or make selections while riding. Interacting
with the display unit while riding can lead to accidents causing serious in-
jury or death. You must observe road and traffic conditions, and comply
with traffic laws at all times.
uUsing your mobile device while operating an eBike may be distract-
ing. Distracted driving is a serious safety concern and can lead to ac-
cidents causing serious injury or death. In order to prevent dis-
tracted driving, most devices come equipped with a “Do Not Disturb”
mode. The “Do Not Disturb” mode should be used while operating an
eBike. Please consult your device-specific instructions for more informa-
tion. You, as the eBike operator, are fully responsible for ensuring that
you pay attention to road conditions and comply with traffic laws at all
times.
