Resetting Your Bosch Electric Bike: A Step-By-Step Guide

Resetting your Bosch electric bike can be a simple process, but it depends on what you want to reset. If you want to reset the odometer, only the Bosch factory in Germany can do this. However, if you want to reset the battery, you can do this by removing the battery from the bike and holding the on/off button for at least 10 seconds.

Resetting the battery by removing it from the bike and holding the on/off button for at least 10 seconds

Resetting the battery on a Bosch electric bike can be done by removing the battery from the bike and holding the on/off button for at least 10 seconds. This can be done to reset the entire electrical system.

To do this, first remove the battery from the bike. Then, hold the on/off button on the battery for at least 10 seconds. You may see the lights on the battery turn on and off during this process. Once you have held the button for at least 10 seconds, release it and reattach the battery to the bike.

This process can be helpful if you are experiencing issues with your Bosch electric bike, such as the motor not powering up or other electrical faults. It is a simple troubleshooting step that can often resolve minor issues and is recommended by mechanics.

It is important to note that resetting the battery may not resolve all issues with your Bosch electric bike. If you continue to experience problems, you may need to consult a professional mechanic or authorised Bosch dealer for further assistance.

Resetting the odometer (only possible at the Bosch factory in Germany)

Resetting the odometer on a Bosch electric bike is only possible at the Bosch factory in Germany. The odometer is captured in the motor, and only Bosch can change it. However, a Bosch-authorised dealer can reset the odometer using a function on the Bosch browser. This function is not available to the general public.

Resetting the computer by powering it off and on again

• Locate the power button on your Bosch electric bike. This is usually found on the battery or the display unit.
• Press and hold the power button for at least 10 seconds. This will initiate the reset process. You may see the lights on the battery or display flashing or turning on and off during this time.
• Release the power button after 10 seconds, or when the lights turn off.
• Wait a few seconds, and then press the power button again to turn the bike back on.
• Observe whether the issue you were experiencing has been resolved.

It's important to note that this process may not work for all issues. For example, if you're trying to reset the odometer on a Bosch e-bike, this can only be done by the Bosch factory in Germany. Additionally, if you're experiencing a persistent issue with your bike, it's always best to consult a Bosch-authorised mechanic or dealer for further assistance.

Cleaning the contacts

If your Bosch electric bike is not powering up, you may need to clean the contacts. First, remove the battery from the bike. Then, hold the on/off button on the battery for at least 10 seconds. You should see all the lights turn on and then off. If they don't, try holding the button for a few more seconds. Once you've reset the battery, you can move on to cleaning the contacts.

To clean the contacts, you'll need to remove the display. This will give you access to the contacts. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the contacts, making sure to remove any dirt or debris. If the contacts are particularly dirty, you can use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol on a cloth to clean them. Be sure to let the contacts dry completely before reassembling the display.

Once the contacts are clean, you can put the display back together and reattach it to the bike. With the contacts clean, you should see an improvement in the bike's performance. If you're still having issues, you may need to take the bike to a mechanic for further troubleshooting.

Checking the battery health and full history by downloading data from the controller

To check the battery health and full history of your Bosch electric bike, you will need to download data from the controller. This can be done by a Bosch-authorised technician, who can access the Bosch browser function to perform this task. They will be able to provide you with a detailed report on your battery's health and history.

If you are experiencing issues with your Bosch electric bike, such as a non-starting fault or a display that won't switch to Eco mode, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try. One suggestion is to reset the battery by removing it from the bike and holding the on/off button for at least 10 seconds. This can help to reset the electrical system and potentially fix any minor faults.

It is important to note that some functions of the Bosch electric bike, such as the odometer, cannot be reset. The odometer is captured in the motor and can only be changed by the Bosch factory in Germany. If you purchase a new motor, your display will show the distance that the new motor has been used, rather than the total miles ridden on your bike.

Additionally, basic maintenance and cleaning can sometimes help resolve issues. For example, removing and cleaning the display contacts may improve connectivity and fix certain problems.
