This page lists the error codes Bosch publishes for Bosch eBike system 2, with what each means and what you can safely try. The list comes from Bosch's owner's manual for the Kiox (BUI330) on-board computer (Kiox manual). Other displays may show codes differently, so check the manual for your own display too. For the basics, start with Bosch eBike troubleshooting.
Smart system bikes use different displays and the eBike Flow app. Check your display's own manual, and ask your dealer, whose DiagnosticTool can read out eBike information (Bosch dealer service).
Before you look up a code
- Note the exact number on the display.
- Switch the system off, wait, and switch it back on. For most codes this is Bosch's first step.
- If the code comes back, follow the line below, then see a Bosch dealer.
The drive may switch itself off when an error shows. Bosch says you can keep pedaling without assist, but have the bike checked before your next ride (Kiox manual).
