How to Reset the Trip Meter on an E-Bike: Display-Specific Steps
Start by identifying your display system
Resetting a trip meter is a display-specific task, so the first step is to identify which system you are using. The sealed evidence covers two documented examples: Bosch Kiox/Smart System and Shimano E-TUBE. For any other display, the correct route is the exact manufacturer manual or support page for your model, because reset paths differ between systems and firmware versions (Bosch Kiox settings).
Bosch Kiox: reset from the marked screen or Settings
On supported Bosch Kiox displays, Bosch documents a manual trip-data reset by selecting a marked screen and confirming the reset prompt. Bosch also documents an alternative path through Settings > My eBike > Reset (Bosch Kiox settings). Use the path that matches what your display actually shows; if neither screen appears, treat that as a model-specific support case rather than a cue to explore diagnostic menus.
Bosch Smart System: Quick Menu > Trip > Reset
Bosch documents the Smart System trip reset separately: open the Quick Menu, choose Trip > Reset, and confirm. The same source documents configurable automatic trip reset intervals, so a trip value may clear on its own if an interval is enabled (Bosch Smart System trip reset). Check that setting before assuming a manual reset failed.
Shimano E-TUBE: reset DST, not ODO
Shimano’s E-TUBE PROJECT manual distinguishes ODO from DST and documents reset of traveling distance and time from a supported maintenance screen, not the odometer view (Shimano E-TUBE PROJECT manual). If you are looking at ODO, you are on the wrong value; the trip distance is DST, and the reset lives in the maintenance screen the manual describes.
Action sequence
1. Identify your display system and confirm whether it is Bosch Kiox, Bosch Smart System, Shimano E-TUBE, or another system (Bosch Kiox settings).
2. On Bosch Kiox, select the marked screen and confirm the reset prompt, or use Settings > My eBike > Reset (Bosch Kiox settings).
3. On Bosch Smart System, open the Quick Menu, choose Trip > Reset, and confirm; check whether an automatic reset interval is configured (Bosch Smart System trip reset).
4. On Shimano E-TUBE, open the supported maintenance screen and reset traveling distance and time (DST), not ODO (Shimano E-TUBE PROJECT manual).
5. For any other display, follow the exact manufacturer manual or support route for your model rather than a generic button sequence (Shimano E-TUBE PROJECT manual).
Completion check
After the documented reset, confirm the trip value reads 0.0 on the screen you reset. On Bosch Kiox, that is the marked screen or the Settings > My eBike > Reset path (Bosch Kiox settings). On Bosch Smart System, it is the Trip value after Quick Menu > Trip > Reset (Bosch Smart System trip reset). On Shimano E-TUBE, it is the DST value in the maintenance screen, not ODO (Shimano E-TUBE PROJECT manual).
The sealed evidence covers Bosch Kiox, Bosch Smart System, and Shimano E-TUBE only. If your display is not one of these, or if the trip screen is missing, an error appears, or the reset does not complete, treat it as a model-specific support case: consult the exact manufacturer manual or support route for your display. A trip reset does not repair an electrical, display, battery, controller, firmware, or speed-sensor fault, and the odometer is not a resettable trip value. (Official source)
When the reset does not work
If the trip screen is missing, an error appears, or the reset does not complete, the documented next step is the manufacturer’s support route for your specific display model. The sealed evidence does not establish a universal button-hold sequence, does not show that one display’s reset path applies to every system, and does not support using a trip reset to address electrical, display, battery, controller, firmware, or speed-sensor faults (Bosch Kiox settings).
