Bosch Purion Electric Bike Display Settings
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 бер 2018
- While visiting the Accell Group in Southern California, I was able to spend some time digging into the Bosch Purion LCD display control pad and wanted to share some of the deeper settings. In this video, I show how to change units from miles to kilometers, how to clear trip distance, how to activate lights, and how to enable walk mode. This display is a lot simpler than the Bosch Intuvia. It is not removable, not very easy to swivel (to reduce glare), and does not have an active Micro USB port for charging accessories... the port is there, but it's only designed to handle software updates unfortunately. I have found that the + and - buttons can be inconsistent to press because they angle in to the right (towards the LCD screen) vs. going straight up and down like the button pad on the Bosch Intuvia and Bosch Nyon.
Quick tips:
- The buttons on the control pad include Power (top edge), +, -, and Walk (bottom edge).
- To change units from miles to kilometers, hold the - key and tap the Power button.
- To reset trip distance, hold the - key and hold the + key for a couple of seconds.
- To activate lights (if they are wired in), hold the + button for a few seconds.
- To change menus, hold the - button (trip distance, odometer, range, assist level).
- To activate walk mode, make sure you are in one of the four levels of assist, then press the walk button once and hold the + button to make the motor go. Note that some ebikes do not have walk mode enabled (all Trek models have it disabled as of 2018).
Navigation aids:
- How to change units (miles to kilometers) at 1:57
- How to activate lights at 2:04
- How to activate walk mode at 2:26
- How to reset trip distance at 3:00
- How to change menu readouts at 4:01
To compliment this video, I have also created a post in the EBR forums with written instructions and pictures which you can visit here: electricbikereview.com/forum/...

3 years on, and just purchased a Crossfuse with that exact display unit, and at last, some instructions on how to use it, thank you. No manual which was poor imo. I cannot find the trip mode that shows the distance down to tenths of a mile, which has been annoying so hopefully now I can. I came across the range display by accident, and I can confirm that it is very accurate. When it goes down to zero, it really means it! Thanks again.
A really good video with lots of information I bought a cube e bike after watching your video, guy in the shop didn’t give me half as much information as you have in this video👍🏼🚴♂️
Thank you so much for the clear explanation. I just today picked up my new KTM Macina Ride 291 from a dealer in England. He did not show me half of what you have explained. Many thanks, Mike.
Extremely helpful since this info isn't in the manual. I just got the Powerfly 5 and love it. Thanks for the tips.
THANK YOU!!!!! I watched other videos on this and nobody told me how to switch from mph to kmph. You did! Problem solved! THANK YOU!
mee tooo😄
Me too!!
The "Cannibal", Eddy Merckx. #1, "Ride Lots". Thanks for this. Very informative to help with my wife's new bike we just got yesterday. Just purchased an IZIP step through cruiser for my wife so we can ride together. Me on my vintage Molteni Merckx w/ Campy 11 speed record and her in her new IZIP battery assist works out awesome so we can ride together here in Vermont.
No one has been able to tell me comprehensively how to reset or change display until this video !!! There is nothing in any manual that gives any guidance. Thank you
Thanks! I've dad my Trek 9.7 Powerfly for over a month and was about to install a trip meter because I thought there was none. Now I just have to figure out how to re-enable walk mode
Same, Art Sub! Heading downstairs to check that it will work on my bike too. Riding to work today ‘thinking man my downhill is slow’. Riding home, wait a minute. That’s in miles!
Thank you! That was helpful, as I couldn’t figure out how to switch the lights on! No instructions on how to do that at all.
Finally. I lost the instructions a long time ago. I had to go through 5 how to use Purion videos before I found this one telling me how to get my display back to mph. Woo-hoo
*Very well made **Latest.Bike** , looks sporty and performance is awesome I love this machine! It also rides like a Cadillac So you'll love it to!*
Thank you you saved me! I absolutely didn't know how to switch from miles back into km!!!
Crisp and clear demo! Good info on MPH to KM, thanks!
What min for this info
Oh my gosh! Thank you thank you thank you. For the life of me I couldn’t figure out how to change it from kilometers to miles.
Dang me too i feel u
haha same
UA-cam is spooky - got my Cube with Purion delivered yesterday - then this video turns up in my recommended list - Nevertheless, its just what I needed to explain its use, saved me a lot of time. Thank you very much
Just got my cube Acid 500.... thanks for that info.... great bit of kit😎💪🏼I knew some of the info but not all... most helpful.... cheers
Great video on switching between mph. and kms. thank you.
Did you know that this little display is powered by independent small batteries? Did you know that when those batteries die you'll loose all assistance regardless of your main battery level?
You'll get a warning on the screen before that but with low temperatures during winter it's still risky.
For that reason it's good to have a spare ones with you AND decrease the brightness of the display to minimum:
• Turn the display off, then hold down the + and - buttons and press down the power button for a few seconds.
• When the display turns on there will be a scrolling display of various firmware versions (or whatever).
• During this time you can use the + and - buttons to change the backlight brightness.
Thank you. What is the battery model number?
I've seen you talk about the buttons a few times -- and this being the internet and all -- it is easy for people to misconstrue your misuse with poor quality/functionality. It is actually a smart design feature that you're not taking advantage of by being off the bike/standing over the bike. Put your hand on the left handle bar, extend your thumb out naturally (given your four fingers are wrapped around the grip) - your thumb will be horizontal with the handlebars and pointing toward the button, which means you press in a sideways/downward motion, not simply a downward motion as you are attempting in this video and other videos. Your thumb covers basically the whole button - look at the natural shape of the thumb when extended and horizontal. This is why, in your example, the button works best pressed at the top point (closest to the screen) as this is naturally the direction your thumb will be pressing while still maintaining your grip of the bike.
You made that simple for me Thank you very much !
very handy and great review . thanks for your patient explanation X
Timer marks to where the info I need is - I wish all videos were like this.
I'm happy with my Trek e-bike with the Bosch Purion display. However, I'm disappointed that the odometer does not give you 10ths of a mile, only 1 mile, 2 mile, etc. Any comments on this? Also, I noticed, after a ride the odometer is generally 1.25 - 1.5 miles short of my actual trip. This is based on riding with others the other day whose odometers all synched up with the correct miles. So I took a closer look at the back tire that had a small attachment on one of the spokes. This small attachment was not synching up exactly with the rounded section of what I believe is the odometer hardware. Your comments on this are also appreciated.
You can also turn the display on while holding plus and minus to adjust the brightness 👌🏽
Very helpful, thanks!
I keep getting error 502 on my cube ebike. It's just been in for a service and it was fine before the bike went it it had a new chain and rear cog and brakes ... looked the code up and it's for external lights but these are not fitted. Any ideas please
Thanks
Any idea what handlebar diameter this could be mounted on? Is it only the MTB 22.2 mm diameter, or are there shims or other mounts that will allow for road handlebars or for the oversized 31.8 mm portion near the stem?
How do I turn on my backlight display because my doesn't have the white back dosplay
I have a treck powerfly 4 and it dousnt show the range is there any way to turn it on
I'm looking for what to do about the little wrench icon- it came on after I reached 500 total miles- the manual says it is a service indicator, but not sure if it is indicating a problem or routine maintenance?
Can you connect this to your phone via bluetooth to use the app?
Great video. I have collected 2 Cube Reaction Hybrids today and wanted to know what that cable is to connect the Purion to a PC. Can you please share a link as I have not been able to locate one. Thanks.
My Bosch Purion is displaying a "service indicator" and I'm trying (without success) to find out what particular service is required, as well as how to "clear" the service indicator icon. Does anybody know?
Very helpful thank you.
Hello, can I upgrade this to the newer centre mounted display ( I have Bosch gen 4)
Is it possible to change max speed in a sevice menu? My former bafang bike had that option, it was very handy so on long distance trips i coul set max speed to 35 mh, in the city to 25 mh.
Hi, would this work with the performance line motor - I currently use a Bosch Intuvia/Nyon?
What is the bike in the video?
thx for all da information my g, i couldnt switch it to kmh
So helpful! Thanks very much
Thanks for the video. Quick question i just purchased a 2019 Powerfly 7FS and i am trying to get the walk mode to work? I am guessing after watching your video that they still have this disabled? Your videos have been a huge help, and ultimately is what convinced me to go this route. Great reviews, and i love the bike. Its a whole new level of fun while mtn biking!
Yup mine on a townie dose not work ether
I have search the whole internet for HAIBIKE SDURO HardSeven 6.0 El-MTB/HT 2019 model but have not had any luck find any thing about it, can you make a video for it? it have the Bosch engine!
Looks interesting looks like easy to use on the bike can you switch the walk insist on and off button?
Can you reset the total mileage back to zero? I have not been able to figure out how to do this? I have no problems resetting the trip to zero but not the total mileage.
Does anyone know what the wrench icon on the screen means?
any help i can’t get my walk button to work won’t show on the screen when pressed the+ sign not there
Do you know what to do if it don’t turn on I press the power button nothing happens I can start it from bike battery when I insert it and it don’t turn off ether.
cheers mate tryed all ways was close to the left button power button ,but fault i would turn it back of sorted lol
Great video
Hi, I have a hairiness with bochr motor. I haven't used tge bike in several months as I was overseas. I cannot activate the bike although the battery display (on the battery not the digital display) is fully charged. I think it may acreset or wake up. Has someone had the same issue, thank you in advance
Thanks for this information .
Hi, I have the Bosch purion on my focus jarifa. My purion keeps turning off during rides, just wondering if you’ve had this issue
It should be noted that the plus medium hold trick does not work to turn OFF the lights on the model I just bought (happens to be a Trek). I think a firmware update may be required. The shop said "they can't be turned off" but I don't believe that's the case. If anyone knows how to do this, please post.
I like it simple, more features and more wires are just several things that can fail
Thank you for the help
Helpful, thank you
Good video 👍
Thank you! I was set on kilometers and couldn’t figure out how to switch.
thank you my friend! you saved me🤗
Awesome! So glad to help :)
How do you change from Km/h to Mph?
thanks...great help ..
What to do if this DISPLAY dont work and makes the bike not start
Thank you so much buddy! You did my problem solved to switch display mph to km! Ha ve a nice day! Bye.

Mine does not have light function - no big deal, just doesn’t come on?
Better than the manual. Thanks.
Hi, awesome video, learned me a lot! But i've got a question for you, 2 weeks ago, i bought my first eMTB and i've already got 200 km (120miles) on that ting. But sinds then, i've got a service light on. The manuel tells me that i have to visit a dealerschip so they can service my bike, but i know well how to service a bike so i'm not going to pay for that. But how in bloody hell can i reset that service light? It's like a little wrench on the display right from the battery indicator.
Thnx for your reaction

Useful video thanks. BTW, you say that Trek has disabled the Walk mode on their bikes. This is certainly NOT the case on the 2019 Powerfly LT 7 that I own.
I also have Walk Mode on my 2018 Powerfly 5. It is a UK bike.
If i lose my purion is there a way the bosch dealer can analyse my bike? Especially find out it is tuned?
Yes all the data is in the control unit with the motor, if you get a second motor and tune that your fine, just put your old motor in for warranty stuff.
Any idea how to lower the Purion luminosity?
Thank you 😊
I just got a cube ebike and I only had it a few weeks and now the purion is telling me to change the display battery? so I bought 2 new correct ones... fitted but still the purion is telling me to change display battery? any help would be much appreciated 👍
I have this same problem with mine and cannot figure out what is going on. I recently put brand new batteries in it, took the bike out for a one hour ride and today the display battery was dead and the bike is telling me to change the batteries again. I am wondering what the heck is draining these batteries. No idea where to get any info on this problem.
Hi what is the speed limiter set to in the US for the Bosch CX line? Mine in the UK is restricted to 15.5mph.
20 mph. At 19, assist begins to fade. Gone at 20
I have this display on my Cannondale Ebike and it's very easy to use and read.
It should show mode assist display all the time, not just when you are changing.
hi it can ! you just toggle through and leave it on mode assist display you then know what level you are riding at .

hello bud. can u turn off the torque sensor via this display unit, only my dads new e bike is a bit tough for him and turning the torque sensor off will poss save us returning a realy good bike thanks
Nope bosh only has an off system not a off sensor.
Ok i know all this but what I wanna know is why there is a spanner 🔧 at the bottom right beside the battery, what does that mean
Service suggestion.
Thank you
Really useful and helpful video, thank you. I's a shame that Cube don't supply a user manual specific for the eBike when you buy a new one from them. Cannot even find on line.
Can you see your total mileage? Thanks
Does this work for all electric bikes, and can you change the speed on the speedometer?
Did you figure out how to change the top speed?
@@bayleyvanderpoel7779 Hello 👋 how are you doing. I haven't figured it out just yet because I've been so busy with things, but I'm still going to work on it .
Do they sale solar panels for 44v2a???
I trust your expertise...
I not there where can i purchase one...
I await your answer.
Thank you
John
Hi John! It looks like Hi-Power Cycles is producing some custom portable solar panels for charging electric bikes. Check them out here: www.hi-powercycles.com/portable-solar-chargers/ I have not tested these yet but have reviewed a few HPC ebikes in the past several years and they seemed like a cool company :)
Thanks needed help not in manual
I have the adapter
The out output for the panel rates at 44v2a
I need the kit
Thanks
I'm a little confused, are you talking about the Micro USB port or something else on the bike? I didn't have a Voltmeter to check the plug, it just didn't charge my iPhone while the Intuvia and Yamaha control pad unit did.
ElectricBikeReview.com wanted to ask your advice...
What is the best mid motor for commuting fast.. And some advantures in the weekend??? Brose vs bosch cx vs shimano 8000???
Hi Guy, my preference would be a tie between Bosch Performance Line Speed and Brose TF. They both offer ~28 mph Class 3 support and are reliable. I just haven't been as impressed with Shimano's offering, and they don't have a speed pedelec, so you'd be limited at 20 mph. So, if commuting fast is your focus, check out the Bulls Urban Evo electricbikereview.com/bulls/urban-evo/
ElectricBikeReview.com thanks for the fast replay.. I think i ould go for the cube reaction hybrid... Keep on the good work..
My controller is not working my display
Is there anyway to reset the total ?
No
Gr8 vid.. I was hoping for some hidden menu to get my LaPierre speed higher.. any tips would be hugely appreciated...
😁
You can get your speed higher but not with menu
@@markomestrovic15 aah okay, how?
@@skateboarder9815 you need to buy speed unlocker and you can choose will it go 25kmh or 99kmh. I will put the link, so you need to put chip in motor and press walk button to activate.
@@skateboarder9815 ua-cam.com/video/ODGedHxJ7nA/v-deo.html here is link, you only need to have motor bosch performance line cx
@@markomestrovic15 cheers, thanx for that.. will do that soon.. 👍☺☯️
I couldn't activate the lights as I do
Me neither, Scott Strike.
This is only a tutorial. You should additionally state the +/- accuracy of the range estimates at least. Best to actually test the accuracy of factory claims.
I do some range estimates with each bike review but agree with ArthurDentZaphodBeep that there are many environmental factors at play. Even the tire tread and pressure makes a big difference... wind, road surface, rider weight, the drive unit (Bosch has five now). This video was meant to be fast and focused on just the display :)
Turning on backlight on Hey bike
Walk is great when your bike is in a cellar
Yes! Exactly, the walk mode function is very helpful for steep ramps like coming up from a cellar.
Always
By the way love my bike
No cadence display?
No USB out, no top speed, no indicator how much help the motor is giving...
Intuvia it is.
Less functionality indeed. But on the other hand the Intuvia has too much redundant information when you’re using a smart phone to record your ride while taking a lot of the space on the handlebars that you need for your phone. I use a Topeak iPhone holder attached to the middle of the handlebars.
Also, no clock, shift recommendation, or average speed readouts :)
So how do I get updates for the Firmware and software updates
For me, the Purion provides all the info I need. I would however prefer a separate assist level selector button(s) that was better positioned, not that the Purion's controls are to any large extent difficult to use. A good, simple controller if that's what you need, like me.

Kann dieses Display nicht empfehlen, habe bei meinem neuen Cube-Ebike in
einem Monat zwei mal "Change Displaybatterie". Die neuen Batterien
wurden vor zwei Wochen eingesetzt. Jetzt kommt wieder die Meldung
"Change Displaybatterie". Die Hintergrundbeleuchtung kann nicht
abgeschaltet werden! Echt sinnvoll. zum Video kann ich nichts sagen.
geen plaats voor de bel
Shimano e8000 display is way better.
Not to be rude but I'm wandering if these people he talks to for more than 10 minutes. the other people are thinking please make this dude shut up.
But I love the vidz tho keep them coming
