gard to 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 re-
duce wear on the powertrain.
By selecting the correct gear, you can increase your
speed and range while applying the same amount of
force.
Therefore, follow the gear-shifting recommendations
that are displayed to you on your on-board computer.
Switching bike lights on/off
Before starting each journey, check that your bike
lights are working correctly.
To switch on the bicycle lights, press the bicycle
lights button (9) for more than 1 s.
You can use the "Reduce brightness" (11) and "In-
crease brightness" (12) buttons to control the bright-
ness of the LEDs on the operating unit.
Switching the push assistance on/off
The push assistance aids you when pushing your
eBike. The maximum speed of the push assistance is
2.5 mph. The manufacturer's default setting can be
lower and may need to be adjusted by the bicycle re-
tailer.
The push assistance function must only be used
u
when 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 drive unit
u
may not be able to move the eBike or activate
the roll-away lock.
To start push assistance, press and hold the push as-
sistance button (8) for more than 1 s. The battery
charge indicator of the eBike battery (3) goes out and
a white moving light in the direction of travel shows
that it is ready.
To activate push assistance, one of the following ac-
tions must occur within the next 10 s:
– Push the eBike forward.
Bosch eBike Systems
– Push the eBike backward.
– Perform a sideways tilting movement with the
eBike.
After activation, the drive begins to push and the con-
tinuously filling white bars change color to ice-blue.
If you release the push assistance button (8), push
assistance is paused. You can reactivate push assis-
tance within 10 s by pressing the push assistance
button (8).
If you do not reactivate push assistance within 10 s,
push assistance automatically switches off.
Push assistance is always ended if:
– the rear wheel jams;
– the bicycle cannot move over ridges;
– a body part is blocking the bicycle crank;
– an obstacle continues to turn the crank;
– you start pedaling;
– the "Increase assistance" +/bicycle lights but-
ton (9) or on/off button (2) is pressed.
Push assistance has a roll-away lock, which means
that even after successfully using push assistance,
the drive actively brakes backward rolling for a few
seconds and you cannot push the eBike backward or
can only do so with difficulty.
The roll-away lock can be immediately deactivated by
pressing the "Increase assistance" +/bicycle lights
button (9).
The push assistance function is subject to local regu-
lations; the way it works may therefore differ from the
description above. It can also be deactivated.

If the eBike is equipped with a Bosch eBike ABS from
the system generation the smart system, the ABS
LED (4) lights up when the eBike system starts.
After setting off, the ABS internally checks its func-
tion and the ABS LED goes out.
In the event of a fault, the ABS LED (4) lights up to-
gether with the orange flashing assistance level
LED (5). You can acknowledge the error with the se-
lect button (7); the flashing assistance level LED (5)
