3.3.8.1 Motor
As soon as the muscle power required for
pedalling passes a certain level, the motor is
activated gently and assists the pedalling motion.
The motor power always depends on the power
used to pedal: Motor assistance is lower when
little muscle power is used than when muscle
power is used. This happens regardless of the
level of assistance.
The motor switches off automatically as soon as
the rider no longer pedals, the temperature is
outside the permitted range, there is an overload
or the shut-off speed of 25 km/h has been
reached.
A push assist system can be activated. The speed
depends on the selected gear. The motor
continues to drive the pedelec as long as the rider
presses the push assist button on the handlebars.
The speed can be a maximum of 6 km/h in this
case. The electric drive system stops when the

push assist button is released. The pedelec does
not have a separate emergency shut-off button. In
the event of an emergency, the motor can be
stopped by removing the on-board computer. The
mechanical brakes are used as an emergency
stop system and bring the bicycle to a halt quickly
and safely in the event of an emergency.
3.3.8.2 Rechargeable battery
BOSCH batteries are lithium ion batteries which
are developed and manufactured to the latest
technical standards. Each battery cell is protected
by a steel cup and encased in a plastic battery
housing. Applicable safety regulations are met.
•
The battery has an interior electronic protection
circuit, which is specifically designed for the
charger and the pedelec.
•
The battery temperature is monitored at all times.
•
The battery is protected against deep discharge,
overcharging, overheating and short circuits by
Electronic Cell Protection (ECP).
In the event of a hazard, a protective circuit
switches the battery off automatically. In the event
of a hazard, a protective circuit switches the
battery off automatically.
The battery has a high energy content when
charged. The code of practice for their safe
handling is found in Section 2 Safety and
Section 6.9 Rechargeable battery in the operating
instructions. If the electric drive system is not used
for 10 minutes and no button has been pressed on
the on-board computer or the control panel, the
electric drive system and the battery are
automatically switched off to save energy.
The type and duration of operating conditions
have a significant effect on the battery life. Just
like any other lithium-ion battery, the battery will
age naturally if it is not being used. The battery's
service life can be extended if the battery is well
maintained and stored at the correct temperature.
The charging capacity will decrease with age,
even if the battery is maintained properly. If the
operating time is severely shortened after
charging, this is a sign that battery has reached
the end of its useful life.
Battery performance is reduced when the
temperature drops since this increases electrical
