This is a quick start guide for your new electric bicycle (e-bike). A comprehensive Electric Bicycle Owner’s Manual specic to your model can be found on our website under “Manuals and user guides,” or you can access it by clicking on the QR code in this guide. If you do not have access to a computer or the internet, you can request a printed manual from your local authorized retailer. Even if you’ve been riding a bike for years, you should read this guide, the Owner’s Manual that came with your e-bike, and the Electric Bicycle Owner’s Manual before your rst ride. The manuals contain important safety information and useful suggestions about the proper use and maintenance of your e-bike and how to properly dispose of electrical components. 5257278GOE_5257279BGS_Quick_Start_manual_Bosch_systems_MY20_inside_EN_DE_FR_ES_125x125_CMYK_FINAL_3.indd 15257278GOE_5257279BGS_Quick_Start_manual_Bosch_systems_MY20_inside_EN_DE_FR_ES_125x125_CMYK_FINAL_3.indd 103-Aug-20 15:21:5003-Aug-20 15:21:50EN-2 FIVE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT RIDING YOUR NEW E-BIKE

We know—fast is fun. But e-bikes take a bit of getting used to. It may be tempting to ramp your e-bike up to the fastest setting right away, but we recommend taking it nice and easy the rst few rides. Start on the low assist setting and learn the feel of free speed.

E-bikes are heavier than normal bikes, and they move faster. More power, more speed, and more weight mean once you get moving, you’ll need more time to react, so you should start slowing down sooner on your e-bike than you would on a normal bike.

3. A faster bike gets stronger brakes

We put the latest brake technology on your e-bike, and it works really well— maybe even better than you expect. When you’re getting used to your new e-bike, start braking with a lighter hand and a gradual pull of the brake levers. And never grab just your front brake lever—brake with both front and rear evenly.

4. You’re faster than you look

E-bikes look just like regular bikes, so drivers and pedestrians might not expect you to be riding as fast as your e-bike allows. Until everyone is accustomed to the look and speed of e-bikes, ride with extra care and pay greater attention to your surroundings.

5. All bike rules still apply

While your new e-bike will bring you a new level of freedom and fun, you’re still responsible for knowing and following all the rules of the road, paths, and trails in your area. Have fun out there, but with greater speed, there is greater responsibility! 5257278GOE_5257279BGS_Quick_Start_manual_Bosch_systems_MY20_inside_EN_DE_FR_ES_125x125_CMYK_FINAL_3.indd 25257278GOE_5257279BGS_Quick_Start_manual_Bosch_systems_MY20_inside_EN_DE_FR_ES_125x125_CMYK_FINAL_3.indd 203-Aug-20 15:21:5003-Aug-20 15:21:50EN-3 BASIC OPERATION OF THE BOSCH ASSIST SYSTEM See the rst pages of this guide for the Figures referenced below.

1. Turn the e-bike on/off (Figure A)

• Briey press the on/off button to switch the assist system on or off after use.

• Riding with the assist system turned off is like riding a normal, non-electric powered bicycle.

• The assist system must be turned on to use the lights, if equipped.

2. Selection of an assist level (Figure B)

• Briey press one of the +/- buttons to increase/decrease the assist level while riding.

• Select between ve levels: OFF (0%), ECO (40%), TOUR (100%), SPORT/E-MTB (150%), TURBO (250%). The E-MTB assist level provides improved performance dedicated for use on e-MTBs only. It replaces the SPORT assist level.

• When learning to ride an e-bike, start at the lowest assist level and gradually increase levels.

• While riding, the display will show your actual speed in km/h or mph.

• To get the most use of your battery, in addition to adjusting assist modes, change gears appropriately. 5257278GOE_5257279BGS_Quick_Start_manual_Bosch_systems_MY20_inside_EN_DE_FR_ES_125x125_CMYK_FINAL_3.indd 35257278GOE_5257279BGS_Quick_Start_manual_Bosch_systems_MY20_inside_EN_DE_FR_ES_125x125_CMYK_FINAL_3.indd 303-Aug-20 15:21:5003-Aug-20 15:21:50EN-4

3. Activation of walk assist (if equipped) (Figure C)

• Walk assist has a two-step process and can be used to lighten the load any time you are pushing your e-bike: ○ Briey push the “Walk” button. ○ Press and hold the “+” button while the display is showing “Walk +”.

• Your e-bike will be propelled forward at a slow speed while you are holding the “+” button.

• Walk assist cannot be activated if the assist system is off.

4. Controlling integrated lights (if equipped) (Figure D)

• Some e-bikes are programmed to have the lights always running. These “always on” models are tted with a light sensor that automatically adjusts the lighting pattern (ash or steady) based on the riding conditions. The lighting system will be on when you power on your e-bike.

• To turn the lights off or on, press and briey hold the “+” button. The controller will display a light icon when the lights are running.

• If your e-bike is equipped with a hi/low beam switch, be courteous of oncoming bikers and motorists and switch to the low beam setting.

• When your battery will not be used for a longer period of time, charge the battery to approximately 60% before storing it and check the charge condition of the battery at least every 6 months.

• When only one LED of the charge-control indicator lights up, recharge the battery again to approximately 60%. 5257278GOE_5257279BGS_Quick_Start_manual_Bosch_systems_MY20_inside_EN_DE_FR_ES_125x125_CMYK_FINAL_3.indd 45257278GOE_5257279BGS_Quick_Start_manual_Bosch_systems_MY20_inside_EN_DE_FR_ES_125x125_CMYK_FINAL_3.indd 403-Aug-20 15:21:5003-Aug-20 15:21:50EN-5 Charge level indicator on the controller Charge level indicator on the battery 100% charged, maximum range. Charge the battery. Press the button on the battery to check the charge level.

• 0-1 LED on: charge the battery.

• 5 LEDs on: 100% charged, maximum range.

• Battery is almost empty, charge the battery immediately.

• No assist power (ashing indicator).

• Lighting powered for maximum 2 hours.

6. Charging the battery (Figure E and F)

• Your e-bike is equipped to support one or both of the following methods for charging the battery: ○ Battery on the e-bike (Figure E)

Connect the supplied charger cable to the charging port integrated in the frame. Once the power is connected, a charging symbol will display to indicate that the charging is active. When the battery is fully charged, the display will shut off automatically. ○ Battery off the e-bike (Figure F)

Using the supplied key, unlock and detach the e-bike battery.

Connect the supplied charger cable to the battery’s integrated charge port. Once the power is connected, the LEDs on the battery charge indicator will ash during the charging process. Once the battery is fully charged, the LEDs go out immediately.

• Do not leave a charging battery unattended. Once the battery if fully charged, disconnect it from the charge cable right away. 5257278GOE_5257279BGS_Quick_Start_manual_Bosch_systems_MY20_inside_EN_DE_FR_ES_125x125_CMYK_FINAL_3.indd 55257278GOE_5257279BGS_Quick_Start_manual_Bosch_systems_MY20_inside_EN_DE_FR_ES_125x125_CMYK_FINAL_3.indd 503-Aug-20 15:21:5103-Aug-20 15:21:51EN-6

FUNDAMENTALS FOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. Handle the battery pack with care

• Be gentle with your battery. There is a lot of power packed in there. Damage or punctures to the internal part of the battery could have serious repercussions. If you suspect damage to your battery pack, visit your local bike shop immediately for inspection.

• Consult with a certied e-bike technician before installing accessories. Using the wrong bolt in the wrong place could damage your e-bike’s electrical system. WARNING. A short circuit in the electrical system and/or damage to the battery might lead to over-heating. A battery pack that has been severely impacted could catch re.

2. Properly maintain the battery pack

• Only charge the battery pack with the charger that came with your e-bike. Using the wrong charger risks the life of the battery pack and presents a potential re hazard.

• Do not leave a battery unattended while charging. Choose an outlet with grounded, circuit breaker protection, if possible. Disconnect the charger immediately after charging.

• Store your e-bike battery in a dry, ventilated location that is away from moisture, heat sources, and combustible or easily ammable objects.

• Check the charge condition on your battery at least every 6 months. Recharge to at least 60% when necessary. The battery can be damaged by deep discharge. 5257278GOE_5257279BGS_Quick_Start_manual_Bosch_systems_MY20_inside_EN_DE_FR_ES_125x125_CMYK_FINAL_3.indd 65257278GOE_5257279BGS_Quick_Start_manual_Bosch_systems_MY20_inside_EN_DE_FR_ES_125x125_CMYK_FINAL_3.indd 603-Aug-20 15:21:5103-Aug-20 15:21:51EN -7

3. Take care when transporting your e-bike

When transporting your e-bike on a car rack, remove the controller and battery from the e-bike and put them in the passenger cabin. It’s more secure and will lighten the load on your rack.

4. Ensure correct suspension set-up on your electric mountain bike (e-MTB)

To get the most out of your e-MTB’s off-road performance, make sure that the suspension is setup correctly before riding. Go to https://suspension.trekbikes.com for our online suspension calculator.
