Setting The Assistance Level - Bosch Kiox Original Operating Instructions

English – 4​

Setting the assistance level

On the operating unit (7), you can set the level of assistance
you want the eBike drive to provide you with while pedalling.
The assistance level can be changed at any time, even while
cycling.
Note: In some models, the assistance level may be preset
and cannot be changed. There may also be fewer assistance
levels available than stated here.
The following assistance levels are available as a maximum:
– OFF: Motor assistance is switched off. The eBike can just
be moved by pedalling, as with a normal bicycle. The
push assistance cannot be activated at this assistance
level.
– ECO: Effective assistance with maximum efficiency, for
maximum range
– TOUR: Steady assistance, long range for touring
– SPORT/eMTB:
SPORT: Powerful assistance, for mountain biking and
cycling in urban traffic
eMTB: Optimum assistance whatever the terrain, rapid
acceleration when starting from a standstill, improved dy-
namics and top performance (eMTB only available in
combination with the drive units BDU250P CX, BDU365,
BDU450 CX and BDU480 CX. A software update may be
required.)
– TURBO: Maximum assistance even at high pedalling
speeds, for sport cycling
To increase the assistance level, press the + (12) button on
the operating unit repeatedly until the desired assistance
level appears on the display. To decrease the assistance
level, press the – (11) button.
The requested motor output appears on the display h. The
maximum motor output depends on the selected assistance
level.
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder (5),
the assistance level that was last displayed for the battery is
saved.
Switching the push assistance on/off
The push assistance aids you when pushing your eBike. The
speed in this function depends on the selected gear and can
reach a maximum of 6 km/h. The lower the selected gear,
the lower the speed of the push assistance function (at full
power).
The push assistance function must only be used when
u
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.
To activate the push assistance, briefly press the WALK
button on your on-board computer. After activation, press
the + button within 3 s and keep it pressed. The eBike drive
is switched on.
Note: The push assistance cannot be activated at assistance
level OFF.
1 270 020 XBK | (12.03.2019)
The push assistance is switched off as soon as one of the
following occurs:
– You release the + button;
– The wheels of the eBike are locked (e.g. by applying the
brakes or hitting an obstacle);
– The speed exceeds 6 km/h.
The push assistance function is subject to local regulations;
the way it works may therefore differ from the description
above, or the function may even be deactivated completely.
Switching bicycle lights on/off
On the model in which the lighting is powered by the eBike
system, the front and rear lights can be switched on and off
at the same time via the on-board computer using the bike
light button (3).
With the light switched on, the lighting c indicator (see "Start
page", page English – 6) appears in the status bar on the
display.
Switching the bike lights on and off has no effect on the
backlighting of the display.

must also register online.
With a user ID, you can analyse your ride data and routes,
among other things.
You can set up a user ID via your Bosch eBike Connect
