Care for your battery and e-bike
Along with the fun of having an e-bike comes a few special warnings to keep you and your bike safe.
Install accessories carefully
Consult with a certied e-bike technician before installing accessories. Using the
wrong bolt in the wrong place could cause a short circuit in the electrical system
and/or damage the battery which might lead to over-heating. A battery that has
been severely impacted could catch re. If you suspect damage to your battery,
visit your local bike shop immediately to have the battery inspected.
Transport your e-bike safely
• The Bosch drive system adds weight to the bicycle. Overloading a bike rack can result in death or
serious injury. Refer to your bicycle rack manual to be sure it is compatible with your e-bike.
• Remove the battery from the e-bike and put it in the passenger cabin for safe and secure trans-
port. A battery left on the bike could loosen during transport and become a hazard.
• Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer. The temperature inside your car could exceed
140 °F (60 °C). Extreme heat could damage your battery or cause it to catch re.
Store the battery properly
If you won’t be riding your e-bike for 3 months or more, remove the battery from the bike, and take
the following steps to properly store it.
• Store your e-bike battery in a dry, ventilated location that is away from moisture, heat sources,
and combustible or easily ammable objects.
• Store your battery at the recommended temperature. Storing your battery outside of this range
could damage the battery, affect its performance or cause the battery to catch re.
>14 °F (-10 °C)
<140 °F (60 °C)
50 °F – 68 °F (10 °C – 20 °C)
• Monitor the battery charge. Keep the battery charged to a minimum of 30% to 60%. The battery
can be damaged by deep discharge.
• When the battery charge is restored, remove the battery from the charger. Do not store your
battery connected to the charger.
Wash your e-bike gently
Do not submerge your e-Bike or its components in water or wash them with a high-pressure hose.
Water could contact the electrical system and damage it.
Repair and maintain your e-bike safely
Always remove the battery before beginning any maintenance work on your e-bike. Never attempt to
open any parts of the electrical system. Always contact your local bike shop to service any parts of
the electrical system.
