Operating your Bosch Drive System

 Riding a Bosch drive system equipped bicycle capa-
ble of speeds up to 28 mph requires proficiency in the
activity of road cycling. This product can allow you to
achieve speeds greater than you may be used to achiev-
ing without the aid of motor assistance. It also may allow
for riding longer periods of time at a higher speed. Higher
speed results in higher forces if a crash occurs. Control
your bicycle at all times. Your risk of death or serious inju-
ry increases with both speed and age.
The following is required for safe use of this product:
– Knowledgeable of laws/safety guidelines/rules of
road cycling (riding safely)
– Ability to operate and control a standard road bike
– Experienced rider who is actively riding
– Capable, comfortable and confident riding safely at
speeds up to 28 mph
– Your bike should match your riding style, be properly
fit to your body dimensions, and be well maintained.
 Do not use this product under the influence of drugs
and/or alcohol.
 While riding, do not become distracted by the on-
board computer and always remain alert to all riding
situations. The on-board computer should only be used
in a stationary and safe start-up position. Use the oper-
ating unit to change motor assistance levels while riding.
 Check your bicycle manual for the maximum riding
weight of your bicycle. Overloading your bicycle can
result in component failure, which can result in death or
serious injury. Typically, the maximum riding weight is
defined by the sum of the rider's weight plus the weight
of any luggage.
 In addition to reading and understanding your own-
er's manuals, be sure you know or refamiliarize your-
self with local laws prior to using this product. Con-
sult your bicycle dealer, local library, bookstore to
