For this reason, it is not possible to precisely predict the
range before starting a trip. General rules:
– For the same motor output of the eBike drive unit: the
less power or force that you have to bring about to reach
a certain speed (e.g., through optimal use of the gears),
the less energy the eBike drive unit will consume, and
the greater the range will be for a battery pack charge.
– The higher the assistance level under otherwise identi-
cal conditions, the shorter the range will be.
Transport
WARNING
 Always remove the battery pack from the bicycle be-
fore transporting the bicycle on a vehicle bike rack.
Failure to remove the battery pack when using a vehicle
bike rack can lead to death or serious injury. The battery
may detach during transport and cause an accident to
following vehicles.
 Always use an approved and compatible bicycle rack
when transporting your eBike. The Bosch Drive Sys-
tem adds weight to the bicycle. Refer to your bicycle
rack manual to be sure your eBike is compatible. Over-
loading a bike rack can result in death or serious injury.
 Use proper lifting techniques because electric bikes
are generally heavier than bicycles.
Ship batteries only when the housings are undamaged.
Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the battery in
such a way that it cannot move around in the packaging. No-
tify your parcel service that the package contains danger-
ous goods. Please also follow possibly more detailed na-
tional regulations. Always check the state and federal
regulations before attempting to ship your battery.
In case of questions concerning transport of the battery
packs, please contact an authorized Bosch eBike dealer.
Bosch eBike dealers can also provide suitable transport
packaging.
