Riding a Bosch drive system equipped bicycle

capable of speeds up to 28 mph requires profi-
ciency in the activity of road cycling. This prod-
uct can allow you to achieve speeds greater than
you may be used to achieving without the aid of mo-
tor assistance. It also may allow for riding longer pe-
riods of time at a higher speed. Higher speed re-
sults in higher forces if a crash occurs. Control your
bicycle at all times. Your risk of death or serious in-
jury increases with both speed and age.
The following are required for safe use of this prod-
uct:
– Knowledge of the laws/safety guidelines/rules of
road cycling (riding safely)
– Ability to operate and control a standard road bike
– Experienced rider who is actively riding
– Capable, comfortable and confident riding safely at
speed up to 28 mph
– Your bike should match your riding style, be prop-
erly adapted to the dimensions of your body, and
be well maintained.

onboard computer and always remain alert to all
