ARE THERE ANY SPECIAL DIRECTIONS OR CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE BATTERY?
Nothing special. You can control the remaining battery life at the Purion 400 display on the screen or through
the 5 LED bars at the System Controller on the top tube. Each LED equals to 20% range and when any LED
turns white means 10% consumption has been reached on any of the remaining bars. When any bar turns o
means 20% battery life has been used. When there is 30% battery life remaining the 2 blue leds still on will
turn orange. When there’s only 10% battery life the only orange LED on will turn red. Even with less than 30%
or 10% or less battery remaining motor output will stay constant and not reduced to a lower wattage as it
happens on other motor systems.
WHICH IS THE MAXIMUM ASSISTANCE I CAN GET FROM THE SLY BOSCH PERFORMANCE SX MOTOR?
SLY models feature the same Stealth Alloy frame and the same Bosch’s Performance SX latest generation
motor. The weight of the motor is around 2.050 grams and delivers 55Nm of torque with 600W peak power at
high pedaling cadence.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO CUSTOMIZE THE ASSISTANCE MODES ON THE SLY?
You can customize the Sly’s Bosch Performance SX motor assistance modes the same way as other motor
systems in Bosch’s motor lineup with the Flow App. Log in the Flow App, turn on the bike and connect to your
Sly to customize the motor output Support, initial pedaling assistance through Dynamic, maximum kms/h /
mph with the 25kms/h / 20mph assistance and 55 max Nm torque individually on the 4 support modes ECO,
TOUR+, EMTB and TURBO.
HOW LONG CAN I RIDE WITH THE SLY?
This is always a tricky question and also depends on rider fitness, rider weight and riding conditions. An
average rider with 80 kgs riding weight can climb around 1.500m/5.000ft elevation gain combining dierent
support modes and ride as much as 3 hours in ECO-TOUR+ modes. Again, depending on riding conditions and
rider physical level. The 250Wh PowerMore range extender would increase +60% riding time with only 1.5 kg
extra weight.
RIDING WITH THE POWERMORE RANGE EXTENDER, WHICH BATTERY IS DISCHARGED FIRST, THE INTERNAL ONE
OR THE EXTENDER?
To maintain the proper power output from the motor, both batteries discharge at the same time. This is key
for proper battery life and constant motor assistance. If you install a PowerMore when you are running out of
the internal battery, the PowerMore will be used as the main battery supply until both charges (internal and
extender) are equal and then, both will be equally discharged until fully drained.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE DISPLAY ON THE HANDLEBAR?
Yes. It is possible to remove the Purion 400 handlebar display and ride without it. Through the System
Controller on top of the frame you can control how much battery is remaining and switch support modes
through the Mini-Remote switch on the left side of the handlebar.
