FAQs

What is the maximum range of the battery?

The 800Wh Bosch PowerTube battery can provide up to 112 miles of pedal-assisted exploration on a single charge, depending on factors like terrain, rider weight, assist level, and pedaling effort.

How long does it take to charge the battery?

Charging time can vary depending on the charger used and the battery's current state. A standard Bosch charger typically takes around 4-6 hours to fully charge an 800Wh battery from empty.

Can I remove the battery for charging?

Yes, the Bosch PowerTube battery is designed to be removable, allowing you to take it inside for convenient charging if you cannot charge the bike directly.

What is the maximum weight capacity of the rear carrier?

The Aluminium MIK Carrier has a maximum load capacity of 25kg, suitable for panniers, bags, or other cargo.

Is this bike suitable for off-road trails?

While equipped with features like front suspension and robust tires for comfort and stability, the Novus Plus is primarily a hybrid e-bike. It is well-suited for mixed-terrain routes, including light trails and gravel paths, but not designed for extreme mountain biking.

What type of maintenance does the Bosch system require?

The Bosch e-bike system requires minimal maintenance beyond keeping components clean. It's advisable to ensure the software is up-to-date and to have the system checked by a qualified Bosch e-bike dealer during regular bike servicing.

What happens if a component needs to be replaced, as specifications can change?

Raleigh states that specifications are subject to change based on component availability. If a substitution is made, it will be with parts of equal or superior quality to maintain the bike's performance and integrity.

Troubleshooting

E-bike not powering on

Ensure the battery is charged and correctly inserted into the frame. Check that the display unit is securely connected. Verify the on/off button has been pressed correctly. Consult the Bosch eBike system manual for specific troubleshooting steps.

Motor assistance cuts out intermittently

Check the battery connection for security. Ensure the speed sensor on the rear wheel is clean and properly aligned. Update the Bosch system software if prompted by the display unit. If the issue persists, contact a qualified e-bike mechanic.

Gears are not shifting smoothly

Inspect the derailleur hanger for bends. Ensure the gear cable is not frayed or kinked. Adjust the rear derailleur indexing according to Shimano CUES specifications. For persistent issues, professional adjustment may be required.

Brakes feel weak or spongy

Check the brake pads for wear and clean the rotors. Bleed the hydraulic brake system to remove air bubbles if necessary. Ensure brake fluid levels are adequate. If unsure, seek professional assistance for brake maintenance.

Display unit not showing information

Check the connection between the display and the control unit. Ensure the battery has sufficient charge. Try restarting the system. If the issue continues, consult the Bosch display manual or a service center.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup:

Your Raleigh Novus Plus e-bike will likely arrive partially assembled. It is highly recommended to have the bike assembled and inspected by a qualified bicycle mechanic to ensure all components are correctly fitted and adjusted, especially the braking system, gears, and electrical components. This includes ensuring the Bosch motor and battery system are properly initialized.

Compatibility:

  • Wheels: The bike features 27.5" wheels. The rear MIK carrier is compatible with MIK accessories, allowing for easy attachment of panniers, child seats, or baskets (up to 25kg maximum load).
  • Accessories: The bike is pre-equipped with integrated lights, mudguards, and a kickstand. The frame may offer mounting points for additional accessories like water bottle cages, though specific compatibility should be confirmed.
  • Riding Modes: The Bosch Kiox 300 display provides access to various riding modes (e.g., Eco, Tour, Sport, Turbo) to manage power output and battery consumption.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Battery Care: For optimal battery life, store the Bosch PowerTube battery in a cool, dry place and charge it regularly. Avoid complete discharges. Refer to the Bosch eBike manual for detailed battery care instructions.
  • Cleaning: Clean the bike regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid high-pressure washers, especially around the motor and electrical connections. Dry the bike thoroughly after cleaning.
  • Drivetrain: Keep the chain clean and lubricated. Regularly check the Shimano CUES derailleur for proper adjustment. The chain guard helps protect the chain from debris.
  • Brakes: Inspect hydraulic disc brake pads and rotors for wear. Ensure brake levers feel firm and responsive.
  • Tires: Maintain recommended tire pressure for optimal performance and puncture resistance. Check tires for wear and damage.
  • General Inspection: Periodically check bolts, screws, and moving parts for tightness and wear. A professional service check-up is recommended annually.
