Starting Gear / Auto-Downshift
Tip
Use of this function is freely programmable for consumers and manufacturers alike. As
such, this function could be either active or inactive upon receipt of your Rohloff E-14 and
Bosch eBike Systems equipped bicycle.
The Rohloff E-14, in connection with a Bosch eBike System offers the option of selecting a
gear (between #1 and #9) into which the bicycle will automatically shift upon coming to a
complete halt.
When active, the Auto-Downshift function will shift down to any pre-programmed starting
gear once the bicycle is stationary for a period of at least 3 seconds (no signal received
from Bosch speed sensor). This process will occur as long as the last gear manually
selected was higher than the pre-programmed starting gear, and the bicycle was initially
moving at more than 10 km/h.
Leg weight/pedal force should ideally be removed from the pedals while stationary.
Wheel mounting and removal
Switch the Bosch eBike
System “off”.
Remove the battery from
the Bosch eBike System.

SPEEDHUB 500/14 Owners Manual.
