Safety Notes
General Safety Rules
Read all safety warnings and all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term "battery pack" used in these operating instructions, ir-
respective of model, refers both to standard battery packs (bat-
tery packs with holder on the bike frame) and to rack-type bat-
tery packs (battery packs with holder in the rear rack/carrier).
 Make sure to not be distracted by the display of the on-
board computer. If you do not focus exclusively on the traf-
fic, you risk being involved in an accident. If you want to
make entries in your on-board computer other than switch-
ing the assistance level, stop and enter the appropriate data.
 Before beginning any exercise program, seek advice
from a doctor about which pressure you can place
yourself under. This is the only way to avoid potential
overloading.
 When using a heart rate monitor the heart rate dis-
played may be distorted by electromagnetic interfer-
ence. The heart rates displayed are for reference only. No
liability can be accepted for consequences caused by
incorrectly displayed heart rates.
Safety Warnings for eBikes
 Do not open the drive unit yourself. The drive unit must
be repaired only by qualified experts and only with
original spare parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
drive unit is maintained. Unauthorised opening of the drive
unit will void warranty claims.
 Do not open Nyon. Opening Nyon can destroy it and void
any warranty claims.
 All components mounted to the drive unit and all other
components of the eBike drive (e.g., the chainwheel,
chainwheel seat, pedals) may be replaced only with
identical components or components specifically ap-
proved for your eBike by the bicycle manufacturer. This
protects the drive unit against overload and damage.
 Remove the battery pack from the eBike before begin-
ning work (e.g. inspection, repair, assembly, mainte-
nance, work on the chain, etc.) on the eBike, transport-
ing it by car or plane, or storing it. Unintentional
activation of the eBike system poses a risk of injury.

On-board computer Nyon
 The eBike system can switch itself on when the eBike is
pushed backwards.
 The push-assistance function may only be used when
pushing the eBike. Danger of injury when the wheels of
the eBike do not have ground contact while using the push-
assistance function.
 Use only original Bosch battery packs approved for
your eBike by the manufacturer. Using other battery
packs can lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard. When us-
ing other battery packs, Bosch shall not assume any liabil-
ity and warranty.
 Do not make any modifications to your eBike system or
fit any other products which would be suitable for in-
creasing the performance of your eBike system. This
normally reduces the lifetime of the system and risks dam-
age to the drive unit and the bike. There is also a risk of los-
ing the guarantee and warranty claims on the bike you have
purchased. By handling the system improperly you are al-
so endangering your safety and that of other road users,
thus running the risk of high personal liability costs and
possibly even criminal prosecution in the event of acci-
dents attributable to manipulation.
 Please observe all national regulations on registering
and using eBikes.
 Please read and observe the safety warnings and in-
structions enclosed in the operating instructions of the
battery pack as well as in the operating instructions of
your eBike.
Safety information relating to the navigation
system
 Do not plan your routes whilst you are cycling. Stop and
wait until you are stationary before entering a new des-
tination. If you do not focus exclusively on the traffic, you
risk being involved in an accident.
 Abandon your route if the navigation system suggests
a path or road which is too ambitious, risky or danger-
ous for you based on your cycling ability. Have your nav-
igation system propose an alternative route.
 Do not ignore any road signs, even if the navigation
system tells you to take a specific route. The navigation
system cannot take roadworks or temporary diversions in-
to account.
 Do not use the navigation system in situations which
are safety-critical or unclear (road closures, diver-
sions, etc.). Always carry extra maps and means of com-
munication with you.
