Unanswered Bosch extra battery holder removal- how ?

[daddyo]

Hey folks. my wife bought an used Flyer Goroc 3 with the additional 500Wh battery. As the inbuild 625Wh battery will be enough for our rides, I would like to remoce the extra battery and holder and have space for a bottle. I cannot find anywhere how to remove the battery holders. Do we have to go and visit a Bosch service or can it be done easily at home. Also the lights cannot be turned off , is that a german legal thing ? Thanks for your help.

You don't need to remove the mount at all if you can locate the bottle holder part. These links pertain to the Orbea Wild, but I assume they're just Bosch parts.

I've been thinking about this, should I pay for the frame mount battery option, or just save the £120 and put this towards buying an another in frame battery? Anyone know if the 500 w battery would fit in or does It need to be the 625w. Thought's?

Apparently it's required for compliance with Swiss traffic laws.

In December 2021, the Federal Council decided to introduce new guidelines for e-bikes in road traffic. In accordance with the ordinance of the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO), all e-bikes must be equipped with a daytime light from 1 April. This means that dusk will no longer be sufficient as a guideline for switching on lights; they will become mandatory at all times of the day and in all lighting conditions. The change in legislation applies to both fast e-bikes and s-pedelecs with pedal assist up to 45 km/h as well as classic e-bikes or pedelecs with pedal assist up to 25 km/h.
