Maintenance And Servicing; Maintenance And Cleaning - Bosch Performance Line CX BDU3840 Original Operating Instructions

Irrespective of the type of gear shifting, it is advisable that
you briefly reduce the pressure on the pedals when changing
gear. This will aid gear shifting and reduce wear on the
powertrain.
By selecting the correct gear, you can increase your speed
and range while applying the same amount of force.
Gaining initial experience
We recommend that you gain initial experience with the
eBike away from busy roads.
Test the various riding modes. Start in a riding mode with a
small amount of assistance. As soon as you feel confident,
you can ride your eBike in traffic like any other bicycle.
Test the range of your eBike in different conditions before
planning longer and more demanding trips.
Influences on range
It is not possible to calculate the range accurately before and
during a trip because the range is affected by a number on
factors.
Enter the factors in the Range Assistant in order to better as-
sess the effects on the range.
Scan the code provided to open the Range As-
sistant.
Taking care of your eBike
Please observe the operating and storage temperatures of
the eBike components. Protect the drive unit, on-board com-
puter and eBike battery against extreme temperatures (e.g.
from intense sunlight without adequate ventilation). The
components (especially the eBike battery) can become dam-
aged through extreme temperatures.
