Advanced settings directly on the Bosch eBike display

Menu navigation and controls on the display

The menu navigation on the Bosch eBike display is intuitively designed so you can quickly access all important functions. Use the control buttons on the handlebar to navigate through the different menus. The "+" and "-" buttons allow you to switch between options, while the "i" button provides additional information on the displayed data.

For instance, if you want to ride longer distances, choose Eco mode. This saves energy and increases range. For steep climbs or sporty rides, Turbo mode is suitable.

Note: Experiment with the different modes to find out which fits your riding style best.
