Safety instructions
Read all the safety and general instructions.
Failure to observe the safety and general in-
structions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
The term eBike battery is used in these instructions to
mean all original Bosch eBike rechargeable battery packs
from the system generation the smart system.
The terms drive and drive unit used in these operating in-
structions refer to the original Bosch drive units from the
system generation the smart system.
Read and observe the safety warnings and directions
u
contained in all the eBike system operating instruc-
tions and in the operating instructions of your eBike.
Do not make any alterations of any kind to the drive.
u
Do not use any products to increase the performance
of the drive. Your actions also constitute an illegal act in
the public domain. Moreover, you may consequently en-
danger yourself and others, and risk high personal liability
costs and potentially even the danger of criminal prosecu-
tion in the event of accidents that can be traced back to
the manipulation. This also generally reduces the service
life of the eBike components. Damage to the drive unit
and on the eBike can occur, leading to the loss of guaran-
tee and warranty claims on the eBike you have pur-
chased.
Do not open the drive unit. The drive unit must only be
u
repaired with original spare parts and by an author-
ised bicycle dealer. This will guarantee that the safety in
use of the eBike is maintained. Unauthorised opening of
the drive unit will render warranty claims null and void.
Remove the eBike battery from the eBike before be-
u
ginning work (e.g. inspection, repair, assembly, main-
tenance, work on the chain, etc.) on the eBike. With
built-in eBike batteries, please take particular precau-
tions so that the eBike cannot be switched on. There is
a risk of injury if the eBike is accidentally activated.
You must not remove built-in eBike batteries yourself.
u
Have an authorised bicycle retailer install and remove
built-in eBike batteries for you.
On sections of the drive, temperatures
> 60 °C may occur in extreme conditions,
e.g. when carrying consistently high loads at
low speed when riding up hills or transport-
ing loads.
After a ride, do not allow your unprotected hands or
u
legs to come into contact with the housing of the drive
unit. Under extreme conditions, such as continuously
high torques at low travel speeds, or when riding up hills
or carrying loads, the housing may reach a very high tem-
perature.
The temperature that the drive unit housing may reach is
influenced by the following factors:
– Ambient temperature
Bosch eBike Systems
– Ride profile (route/gradient)
– Ride duration
– Assistance modes
– User behaviour (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
Use only original Bosch eBike batteries from the sys-
u
tem generation the smart system, which the manufac-
turer has approved for your eBike. Using 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.
Keep the rim magnet of the system genera-
tion the smart system away from implants
and other medical devices, e.g. pacemakers
or insulin pumps. The magnet generates a field
that can impair the function of implants and
medical devices.
Keep the rim magnet away from magnetic data carri-
u
ers and magnetically sensitive devices. The effect of
the magnets may lead to irreversible data losses.
Observe all national regulations which set out the ap-
u
proved use of eBikes.
Privacy notice
When you connect the eBike to the Bosch DiagnosticTool 3
or replace eBike components, technical information about
your eBike (e.g. manufacturer, model, bike ID, configuration
data) and the eBike usage (e.g. total riding time, energy con-
sumption, temperature) is transferred to Bosch eBike Sys-
tems (Robert Bosch GmbH) for the purposes of processing
your inquiry, servicing and product improvement. You can
