Use walk assist on a Yamaha PW e-bike (Display A, C, X, Interface X)
Yamaha calls it push assist. You hold the assist-down button (or a dedicated walk button on some switches) and the motor pushes at up to 6 km/h.
Step by step
- Stop and switch on. Select any assist mode except OFF.
- Press and hold the assist-down button on the switch. After about a second the display shows a walk symbol and the motor starts pushing.
- Keep the button held while walking; release to stop.
- On switches with a separate walk (footprint) button, hold that button instead.
- On Display X the walk symbol appears in the top bar; on Interface X the LEDs flash while pushing.
Tip: Shift to a low gear first; the push is much stronger.
Can't find it?
Nothing happens: walk assist is disabled on your OEM version (some city bikes), or the wheel is blocked. A dealer can enable it where the region allows.

No, select at least ECO.

Still stuck? Take a photo of the display and show it to a local e-bike workshop. Bring the bike's system name (e.g. Bosch Performance Line CX) and the exact code; that saves diagnostic time and money.
