Functionality; Range; Cycling With An Empty Rechargeable Battery - Bosch Performance Line User Manual

Notes

Functionality

The drive only provides you with riding assistance when you
pedal. The intensity of assistance is automatically adjusted
depending on the selected riding mode, the pressure applied
when pedalling, the load and the speed. The drive assists you
up to a speed of 25 km/h.

Range

The drive is an assistive motor. The range is affected by your
pedalling intensity.
• Set the assistance as low as possible.
The lower the pedalling frequency of the pedal drive the higher
the energy requirement for the drive.
• Use the gear shift as you would without assistance.
• For inclines, head wind or a heavy load, use the lower gears
of the gear shift.
The drive requires a large amount of energy when starting.
• Always start in a low gear and apply as much pressure to the
pedal as possible.
• Before travelling uphill, switch to a lower gear in time.
• Ride with foresight in order to prevent unnecessary stops.
Energy consumption increases under heavy loads.
• Do not transport any unnecessary loads.
Lack of care and maintenance may reduce the range.
• Handle the e-bike with care and observe all notes regarding
the rechargeable battery in this user manual.
• Check the tyre pressure regularly.
• Comply with the maintenance intervals.
Temperatures below +10 °C may negatively affect the perfor-
mance of the rechargeable battery during operation. When you
are not using your e-bike:
• At low outdoor temperatures, take the rechargeable battery out
of the holder and store it (see chapter "Notes > Rechargeable
battery > Storing the rechargeable battery").
• Only put it back in the holder directly before cycling.

Cycling with an empty rechargeable battery

If the rechargeable battery is completely used up during the ride,
you can use your e-bike as you would a normal bike (see chapter
"Operation > Rechargeable battery > Charging indicator").
NOTICE: If the battery charge has been used up, the drive will
switch off. The lighting will be supplied with energy for another
2 hours.
