Note: The available modes depend on the respective drive
unit.
The designations and configuration of the assistance levels can be
preconfigured by the manufacturer and selected by the bicycle re-
tailer.
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
four 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)
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 drive unit and gear-
shifting
The gear shifting should be used with an eBike in the same
way as with a normal bicycle (observe the operating instruc-
tions 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.
For this reason, follow the gear change recommendations
displayed on your on-board computer.
Switching bike lights on/off
Check that your bike lights are working correctly before
every use.
To switch on the bike lights, press and hold the bicycle
lights (5) button for more than 1 s.
Switching the Walk Assistance On and Off
The walk assistance makes it easier to push your eBike. The
maximum speed of the walk assistance is 4 km/h. The manu-
facturer can adjust the default so that it is lower and, if ne-
cessary, it can also be adjusted by the bicycle retailer.
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.

If the selected gear is too high, the eBike's drive unit
u
cannot move and the roll-away lock cannot engage.
To start walk assistance, press the walk assistance (6) but-
ton for more than 1 s, keep it pressed and follow the instruc-
tions on the display.
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 drive begins to push and the indicator
on the display changes.
If you release the walk assistance (6) button, walk assist-
ance is stopped. You can reactivate walk assistance within
10 s by pressing the walk assistance (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 increase assistance level +/bicycle lights (5) button
or on/off button (1) 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 for a few seconds, and you cannot push the
eBike backwards or can only do so with difficulty.
The roll-away lock is immediately deactivated by pressing
the increase assistance level +/bicycle lights (5) button.
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.
ABS – anti-lock braking system (optional)
If the eBike is fitted with a Bosch eBike ABS from the system
generation the smart system, the ABS symbol lights up
when the eBike system starts.
After moving off, the ABS internally checks its functionality
and the ABS symbol goes off.
In the event of an error, the ABS symbol lights up and a mes-
sage appears on the display. This means that the ABS is in-
active. You can press the select button (4) to acknowledge
the error and the ABS error message disappears. The ABS
symbol appears in the statusbar to notify you that the ABS is
still switched off.
For details on the ABS and how it works, please refer to the
ABS operating instructions.
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.
Switch the eBike on and do not ride.
