Do you struggle to push your bike manually uphill or up stairs?
If you've ever found yourself in a situation where you had to push your bike manually, whether up stairs, a steep climb, or a difficult passage: Walk Assist is here to make your life easier and your cycling experience even more enjoyable.
What is Walk Assist?
Walk Assist on an electric bicycle is a feature that allows you to walk alongside your bike while benefiting from electric assistance. This function is useful when you need to push your bike effortlessly, whether on a steep climb, uneven terrain, or when climbing stairs. When activated, the bike moves forward slowly, thanks to its electric assistance, and accompanies you effortlessly. It's a wonderful aid for walking more easily while pushing your bike, without having to exert excessive effort. The speed is limited to 6 kilometers per hour, to allow for easy control when using the walk assistance.
We will explain how to activate it depending on your Bosch display ;-D
