Transport - Bosch RIDE+ Performance Line Gen.2 Manuel Du Propriétaire

Influences on the Operating Range
The operating range depends on many factors, such as the
following:
– Assistance level,
– Speed,
– Gear-switching behavior,
– Bicycle tires and tire pressure,
– Age and condition of the battery pack,
– Route profile (inclines) and road or path conditions
(road or path surface),
– Headwind and ambient temperature,
– Weight of the eBike, rider and equipment/luggage.
For this reason, it is not possible to precisely predict the
range before or during a trip. General rules:
– For th e same assistance level of the eBike drive unit: the
less power or force that you have to bring about to reach
a certain speed (e.g., through optimal use of the gears),
the less energy the eBike drive unit will consume, and
the greater the range will be for a battery pack charge.
– The higher the assistance level under otherwise identi-
cal conditions, the shorter the range will be.
Note: Plan your routes so that you can also reach your des-
tination each time without motor assistance.

Transport

WARNING
 If you carry your eBike outside of your car, e.g. on a
luggage rack, remove the on-board computer and
the eBike battery pack in order to avoid damaging
them. (If the on-board computer cannot be fitted onto a
bracket, it is not possible to remove it from the bicycle.
In this case, the on-board computer may remain on the
bicycle.)
 Always remove the battery pack from the bicycle be-
fore transporting the bicycle on a vehicle bike rack.
Failure to remove the battery pack when using a vehicle
bike rack can lead to death or serious injury. The battery
may detach during transport and cause an accident to
following vehicles.
 Always use an approved and compatible bicycle rack
when transporting your eBike. The Bosch Drive Sys-
tem adds weight to the bicycle. Refer to your bicycle
rack manual to be sure your eBike is compatible. Over-
loading a bike rack can result in death or serious injury.
 Use proper lifting techniques because electric bikes
are generally heavier than bicycles.
Ship batteries only when the housings are undamaged.
Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the battery in
such a way that it cannot move around in the packaging.
Notify your parcel service that the package contains dan-
gerous goods. Please also follow possibly more detailed
national regulations. Always check the state and federal
regulations before attempting to ship your battery.
In case of questions concerning transport of the battery
packs, please contact an authorized Bosch eBike dealer.
Bosch eBike dealers can also provide suitable transport
packaging.
