Bosch Performance Line/CX/Smart System — Error Code 560
Reviewed by certified eBike technicians · Last updated July 21, 2026
Quick Answer
560 on Bosch = Battery overvoltage detected — battery voltage exceeds 54.6V maximum threshold on 48V systems
Severity: Stop — battery overvoltage · Do NOT continue riding
⚠️ STOP RIDING — This error indicates a critical safety issue. Continuing to ride may cause battery damage or safety hazard. Stop and diagnose before continuing.
Error 560 on your Bosch indicates: Battery overvoltage detected — battery voltage exceeds 54.6V maximum threshold on 48V systems.
Stop — battery overvoltage — Battery overvoltage detected — battery voltage exceeds 54.6V maximum threshold on 48V systems
Symptoms
- Error 560 on Kiox/Nyon display; motor cuts all power immediately; battery LED flashes red; may occur right after charging or when connecting a freshly charged battery
Common Causes
- Battery charger overcharging — output voltage exceeds 54.6V specification
- Battery BMS cell balancing failure — one or more cells overcharged
- Faulty voltage sensor in the battery management system
- Using a non-Bosch charger with incorrect voltage profile
- Battery firmware glitch causing false overvoltage reading
Fix Steps
Step 1: 1. Disconnect battery from bike and measure voltage with multimeter — should not exceed 54.6V for 48V system
Step 2: 2. If voltage reads above 55V: stop using current charger immediately — it is overcharging
Step 3: 3. Verify charger output with multimeter — Bosch 48V charger should output 54.6V max
Step 4: 4. If charger output is correct but battery reads high: BMS cell balancing issue — dealer diagnostic required
Step 5: 5. Let battery rest 2 hours and remeasure — voltage should settle to 50-53V range
Step 6: 6. Bosch batteries under warranty (2 years): contact dealer for BMS replacement
Step 7: 7. Never use aftermarket chargers — incorrect voltage profiles cause Error 560 and battery damage
Step 8: 8. Replacement battery cost: $500-900 depending on capacity (500/625/750 Wh)
