Displays and configurations of the on-board
computer
Energy supply of the on-board computer
If the on-board computer is in the holder 4, a sufficiently
charged battery pack is inserted in the eBike and the eBike
system is turned on, then the on-board computer is powered
by the battery pack of the eBike.
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder 4, the
energy is supplied via an internal battery pack. If the internal
battery pack is weak when the on-board computer is switched
on, "Attach to bike" will appear in text indication d for 3 s.
The on-board computer will then turn off again.
To charge the internal battery pack, put the on-board comput-
er back in the holder 4 (when a battery pack is inserted in the
eBike). Switch the eBike battery pack on by its On/Off button
(see battery pack operating instructions).
You can also charge the on-board computer via the USB port.
Open the protective cap 8. Connect the USB port 7 of the on-
board computer via a suitable USB cable to a standard USB
charger or the USB port of a computer (5 V charging voltage,
max. 500 mA charging current). "USB connected" will ap-
pear in text indication d of the on-board computer.
Switching on/shutting down the on-board computer
To switch on the on-board computer, briefly press the On/Off
button 5. The on-board computer can also be switched on
when it is not inserted in the holder (if the internal battery
pack is sufficiently charged).
To switch off the on-board computer, press the On/Off
button 5.
If the on-board computer is not inserted in the holder, it
automatically switches off after 1 minute to save energy if no
button is pressed.
If you do not use your eBike for several weeks, remove
the on-board computer from its holder. Store the on-
board computer in a dry environment at room temperature.
Regularly recharge the on-board computer's battery pack.
Battery Charge-control Indicator
The battery charge-control indicator i displays the charge level
of the eBike battery pack, not that of the on-board computer's
internal battery pack. The charge level of the eBike battery pack
can also be checked on the LEDs of the battery pack itself.
On indicator i, each bar of the battery pack symbol is equiva-
lent to a capacity of approx. 20 %:
The eBike battery pack is fully charged.
The eBike battery pack should be recharged.
Bosch eBike Systems
The LEDs of the charge-control indicator on the bat-
tery pack extinguish. The capacity for assisting the
drive has been used up, and assistance is gently
switched off. The remaining capacity is made availa-
ble for the lighting and the on-board computer. The
indicator flashes.
The capacity of the eBike battery pack is enough for
about 2 hours of lighting. This does not account for
other consumers (e.g. automatic gearbox, charging
external devices at the USB port).
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder 4, the
last displayed battery charge level is saved.
If an eBike is operated with two battery packs, the battery
charge-control indicator i displays the level of both battery
packs.
If an eBike has two battery packs insert-
OF
ed into it and both battery packs are
MPH
KM/
charged on the bike, the charging pro-
gress of both battery packs will be indi-
cated on the display (the left-hand bat-
tery pack is being charged in the
illustration). You can tell by the flashing
indicator on the battery pack which of
the two battery packs is being charged.
Setting the Assistance Level
On the operating unit 9 you can set how much the eBike drive
assists you while pedalling. The assistance level can be
changed at any time, even while cycling.
Note: For individual versions, it is possible that the assistance
level is pre-set and cannot be changed. It is also possible that
less assistance levels are available for selection than listed here.
The following assistance levels (max.) are available:
– "OFF": The motor assistance is switched off, and the eBike
can be moved as a normal bicycle only by pedalling. The
push assistance cannot be activated in this assistance level.
– "ECO": Effective assistance at maximum efficiency for
maximum cruising range
– "TOUR": Uniform assistance, for touring with long cruising
range
– "SPORT": Powerful assistance for sportive riding off road
as well as for urban traffic
– "TURBO": Maximum assistance, supporting highest ca-
dence for sportive riding
To increase the assistance level, press the "+" 12 button on
the operating unit until the desired assistance level appears in
the display b. To decrease the assistance level, press the
button "–" 11.
The requested motor output is displayed in indicator a. The
maximum motor output depends on the selected assistance
level.
When the on-board computer is removed from the holder 4,
the last indicated assistance level is stored; the motor-output
indicator a remains empty.
