– With the on-board computer inserted, push the on/off
button on the eBike battery (bicycle manufacturer-spe-
cific solutions are possible when there is no access to the
battery on/off button; see the battery operating instruc-
tions).
The drive is activated as soon as you start pedalling (except
if you are using the push-assistance function or if the assist-
ance level is set to OFF). The motor output depends on the
settings of the assistance level on the on-board computer.
As soon as you stop pedalling when in normal operation, or
as soon as you have reached a speed of 25/45 km/h, the
eBike drive switches off the assistance. The drive is automat-
ically reactivated as soon you start pedalling again and the
speed is below 25/45 km/h.
The following options are available for switching off the
eBike system:
– Briefly press the on/off button (4) of the on-board com-
puter.
– Switch off the eBike battery using its on/off button (bi-
cycle manufacturer-specific solutions are possible when
there is no access to the battery on/off button; see the bi-
cycle manufacturer operating instructions).
– Remove the on-board computer from its holder.
If no power is drawn from the eBike drive for about
10 minutes (e.g. because the eBike is not moving) and no
button is pressed on the on-board computer or the operating
unit of the eBike, the eBike system, and therefore also the
battery, will switch off automatically to save energy.
Power supply of the on-board computer
If the on-board computer is in the holder (5), a sufficiently
charged eBike battery is inserted into the eBike and the
eBike system is switched on, then the on-board computer
battery is powered by the eBike battery.
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder (5),
the power is supplied by the on-board computer battery. If
the on-board computer battery's charge is running low, a
warning message appears on the display.
To charge the on-board computer battery, slide the on-board
computer back onto the holder (5). Note that if you do not
charge the eBike battery straight away, the eBike system will
automatically switch off after 10 minutes of inactivity. If this
happens, the on-board computer battery will also stop char-
ging.
You can also charge the on-board computer via the USB
port. To do this, open the protective cover (17). Use a Mi-
cro-USB cable to connect the USB port (6) on the on-board
computer to a commercially available USB charger (not in-
cluded with the product as standard) or to the USB port of a
computer (max. 5 V charging voltage; max. 500 mA charging
current).
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder (5), all
values for the functions are saved and can still be scrolled
through.
If the Kiox battery is not recharged, the date and time will be
retained for up to six months. When the on-board computer
is switched on again, the date and time will be reset if a
Bosch eBike Systems
Bluetooth® connection to the app has been established and
the smartphone has successfully identified the current loca-
tion via GPS.
Note: The Kiox only charges while it is switched on.
Note: If the Kiox is switched off during charging via a USB
cable, the Kiox can only be switched on again once the USB
cable has been disconnected.
Note: To maximise the lifespan of the on-board computer's
battery, it should be recharged for one hour every three
months.
Storage mode/resetting the Kiox
The on-board computer has an energy-saving storage mode
which minimises the rate at which the internal battery dis-
charges. Setting to this mode erases the date and time.
This mode can only be activated by pressing and holding the
on/off button (4) of the on-board computer for at least eight
seconds.
If the on-board computer does not start when the on/off but-
ton (4) is pressed briefly, the on-board computer is in stor-
age mode.
You can deactivate storage mode by pressing the on/off but-
ton (4) for at least two seconds.
The on-board computer detects whether it is in a fully func-
tional condition. If you press and hold the on/off button (4)
for at least eight seconds while in a fully functional condition,
the on-board computer will go into storage mode. If, con-
trary to expectations, the Kiox is not in a fully functional con-
dition and cannot be operated, pressing and holding the on/
off button (4) (for at least eight seconds) will reset it. After
being reset, the on-board computer will restart automatically
after approx. five seconds. If the Kiox does not restart, press
the on/off button (4) for two seconds.
To reset the Kiox to its factory settings, select <Settings> →
<Sys settings> → <Factory reset>. All user data will be
lost.
Battery charge indicator
The battery charge indicator of the eBike battery d (see
"Start page", page English – 6) can be read on the status
page and in the status bar. The eBike battery's state of
charge is also indicated by the LEDs on the eBike battery it-
self.
Colour of the
Explanation
indicator d
White
The eBike battery is over 30 % charged.
Yellow
The eBike battery is over 15 % charged.
Red
The capacity for assisting the drive has been
used up, and assistance is switched off. The
remaining capacity will be provided for the
bike lights and the on-board computer.
If the eBike battery is being charged on the wheel, a corres-
ponding notification will be displayed.
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder (5),
the state of charge that was last displayed for the battery is
saved.
