Push-assistant
The push-assistance feature makes it easier to push the eBike. To activate the push-assistance function:
▪
Briefly press button [WALK]
(14)
on your On-board computer's controller.
▪
After activation, press button [+]
(12)
within 3 s and keep it pressed. The eBike drive is switched on, and
assists you in pushing the eBike up to the speed of 6 km/h.

Range
The range of Bosch rechargeable batteries depends on many factors. Your range is influenced by you as a
rider, the chosen support level, as well as the capacity and condition of the battery installed on your eBike.
In addition, there are environmental factors such as temperature, wind conditions or route topography that
play a key role in determining how far you will go.
You can calculate your individual range here:

The On-board computer can display the current battery level

Keep the following in mind to get the most range out of your battery:
▪
Pedalling above 50 revolutions per
minute optimizes the efficiency of the
drive unit. In contrast, very slow
pedalling is very costly in terms of
energy.
▪
The mass should be minimized by
keeping the total weight of the bicycle
and luggage from being unnecessarily
high.
▪
As with a car, frequent starting and
stopping is less economical than long
distances at a nearly constant speed.
▪
Correct shifting makes eBiking more
efficient: It is best to start off and take
inclines in a low gear. Switch to a higher
gear in accordance with the terrain and
speed
▪
Rolling resistance can be minimized by
proper tire pressure. To maximize
range, inflate the tires to the maximum
permissible tire pressure.
▪
Keep track of the motor performance
indicator of the On-board computer
and adapt your riding style accordingly.
A long bar means greater power
consumption.
With decreasing temperature, the efficiency of a rechargeable battery goes down, because electrical
resistance increases. In winter you can expect a reduction in the normal range.
