Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, follow these guidelines:
- Battery Care: Always store the battery in a cool, dry place. Charge it at room temperature and avoid letting it drain completely for long periods.
- Drivetrain Maintenance: The Shimano CUES system should be kept clean and lubricated. Because mid-drive motors exert more force on chains than traditional bikes, check for chain stretch regularly.
- Firmware Updates: Connect the bike to the Bosch eBike Flow app to ensure your motor firmware is current for the best efficiency and feature set.
- Tire Pressure: Adjust your tire pressure based on your weight and trail conditions to maximize traction and prevent pinch flats.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush and mild soap to clean the frame and components. Never use a high-pressure power washer, as it can force water into the electrical connections.
