Adapting the Assistance Level
The assistance level can be adapted within certain limits us-
ing the eBike Flow app. This gives you the option of adjust-
ing your eBike to your personal requirements.
It is not possible to create a completely new mode. You can
only adjust the modes that have been enabled by the manu-
facturer or dealer on your system. This may be fewer than
4 modes.
Due to technical limitations, you cannot adjust the eMTB
and TOUR+ modes. In addition, restrictions in your country
may mean that it is not possible to adjust a particular mode.
The following parameters are available for making adjust-
ments:
– Assistance in relation to the base value of the mode
(within the legal requirements)
– Drive response
– Top limit speed (within the legal requirements)
– Maximum torque (within the limits of the drive)
The parameters are dependent on each other and influence
each other. For example, it is not fundamentally possible to
simultaneously set a low torque value and high assistance.
Note: Please ensure that your modified mode retains the po-
sition, name and colour on all on-board computers and con-
trols.
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 that
you briefly reduce the pressure on the pedals when changing
gear. This will aid gear shifting 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.
Switching bicycle lights on/off (Mini Remote
only)
Check that your bike lights are working correctly before
every use.
To switch the bicycle lights on and off, press the button to
increase the assistance level/bicycle lights (4) for longer
than 1 s.
ABS – anti-lock braking system (optional)
If the bicycle is equipped with a Bosch eBike ABS, the ABS
LED (11) lights up when the eBike system starts.
After moving off, the ABS internally checks its functionality
and the ABS LED (11) goes off.
In the event of a fault, the ABS LED (11) lights up, together
with the orange flashing assistance level LED (10). You can
acknowledge the fault using the select button (5) on the
Mini Remote (1) operating unit or with the mode button
(14) on the System Controller (2) operating unit. The flash-
0 275 007 3RC | (25.03.2022)
ing assistance level LED (10) goes out. While the ABS
LED (11) is lit up, the ABS is not in operation.
For details on the ABS and how it works, please refer to the
ABS operating instructions.
Switching the push-assistance function on/off
The walk assistance makes it easier to push your eBike. The
speed in this function depends on the selected gear and can
reach a maximum of 4 km/h.
The push assistance function must only be used when
u
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.
To start walk assistance, press the (6) button for more than
1 s and keep it pressed. The battery charge indicator (13)
goes out and a white moving light in the direction of travel
shows that it is ready.
To activate walk assistance, one of the following actions
must occur within the next 10 s:
– Push the eBike forwards.
– Push the eBike backwards.
– Perform a sideways tilting movement with the eBike.
After activation, the motor begins to push and the continu-
ously filling white bars change colour to ice-blue.
If you release the (6) button, walk assistance is stopped. You
can reactivate walk assistance within 10 s by pressing the
(6) button.
If you do not reactivate walk assistance within 10 s, walk as-
sistance automatically switches off.
Walk assistance is always ended if:
– the rear wheel jams,
– the bicycle cannot move over ridges,
– a body part is blocking the bike crank,
– an obstacle continues to turn the crank,
– you start pedalling,
– the (4) button or on/off button (12) is pressed.
Walk assistance has a roll-away lock, i.e. even after walk as-
sistance has been used, rolling backwards is actively curbed
by the drive system for a few seconds, and you cannot push
the eBike backwards or can only do so with difficulty.
The push assistance function is subject to local regulations;
the way it works may therefore differ from the description
above, or the function may even be deactivated completely.
Establishing a smartphone connection
In order to be able to use the following eBike functions, a
smartphone with the eBike Flow app is required.
Connection to the app occurs via a Bluetooth® connection.
1. Switch on the eBike system and do not start riding the
eBike.
2. Begin Bluetooth® pairing by pressing and holding (> 3 s)
the on/off button (12). Release the on/off button (12)
as soon as the lowest bar on the battery charge indicator
(13) shows the pairing process by flashing blue.
3. Confirm the connection request in the eBike Flow app.
