Transport

WARNING
If you transport your eBike attached to the
u
outside of your car, e.g. on a bike rack, remove
the on-board computer and the eBike battery to
avoid damaging them.
Always remove the battery pack from the
u
bicycle before 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 seri-ous injury. The battery may detach
during transport and cause an accident to following
vehicles.
Always use an approved and compatible bicycle
u
rack when transporting your eBike. The Bosch
drive system adds weight to the bicycle. Refer to
your bicycle rack manual to be sure your eBike is
compatible. Overloading a bike rack can result in
death or serious injury.
Use proper lifting techniques as electric bikes
u
are generally heavier than bicycles.
Ship batteries only when the housing is undamaged.
Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the
battery in such a manner that it cannot move around
in the packaging. Inform your parcel service that the
package contains dangerous goods. Please also
observe possibly more detailed national regulations.
Al-ways check state and federal regulations before
attempting to ship your battery.
If you have any questions about transporting the
batteries, contact an authorized bicycle dealer. You
can also order suitable transport packaging from the
dealer.

Maintenance/Cleaning

WARNING
Do not open any of the components. Service
u
should only be carried out at an authorized
Bosch eBike Systems
Bosch eBike dealer. Failure to follow above warn-
ing can cause death or serious injury. Refer to your
bicycle manual or component manual for all non-
Bosch drive system components.
Always remove the battery pack before
u
performing any bicycle inspection, maintenance
or repair. Failure to remove the battery pack before
per-forming bicycle inspection, maintenance or
repair can lead to serious injury.
If you suspect that something is loose, do not
u
ride your bike. See your Bosch eBike dealer, only a
qualified service provider should perform work on
your Bosch Drive System. All nuts, bolts, screws
require the correct tightening force. Too little force
and the fastener may not hold securely. Too much
force and the fastener can strip threads, stretch,
deform or break. Either way, incorrect tightening
force can result in component failure, which can
cause you to lose control and fall.
If replacing your battery, buy only a genuine
u
Bosch battery pack from an approved source.
See your Bosch eBike dealer for original Bosch
parts.
Always switch the battery pack off, when
u
inserting or removing it from the holder. Never
attempt to insert or remove the battery pack while
riding the bike.
Do not charge or use your eBike in any area with
u
a potentially explosive atmosphere, such as at a
fueling area, or in areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or
metal powders). Obey all signs and instructions.
Do not submerge your eBike components in
u
water, or wash with pressurized hose. Your Bosch
drive unit is designed to be water tight to rain water
or non-pressure hose washing.
Note down the manufacturer and the number of
u
the key. In case of loss of the keys, please refer to
an authorised Bosch eBike dealer. Please provide
