INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of this BH ILynx. Enjoy your BH bike!
For over a century, BH has been synonymous with bicycles, cycling, sportsmanship and the will to improve.
Many children have taken their first hesitant turns of the pedals with BH and many legendary cyclists built their
reputations on our bicycles. The industrial activity of BH (Beistegui Hermanos) began in 1909, in the arms
manufacturing town of Eibar (Guipúzcoa, Spain) thanks to the talent and entrepreneurial spirit of three brothers:
Cosme, Domingo and Juan Beistegui Albistegui. The company, which initially manufactured weapons, took
a radical change of direction after the First World War and set out to provide a fast, comfortable and affordable
means of transport for the residents of Eibar. The result was some very lightweight, agile and reliable bicycles.
This was the birth of one of the current cycling icons and one of the strongest and most successful brands.
From that moment onwards and as a result of their technological advances and commitment to the sport,
sporting triumphs and the numerous innovations that BH has brought to the cycling world have ensued.
This manual is designed to help you with the functions and maintenance of your BH ILynx pedal-assist bicycle.

1. SAFETY INFORMATION

1.1 RIDING
• Do not pedal or move the bicycle while the battery charger is connected. If you do, it may cause the power
cable to become entangled in the pedals, which may damage the battery charger, the power cable and/or the
charging port.
• Do not ride the bicycle if there is a fault with the battery or any component of the pedal assistance system.
Otherwise you may lose control and suffer serious injury.
• Do not start moving with one foot on a pedal and the other on the ground and then start riding the bicycle
when you have reached a certain speed. Otherwise you may lose control and suffer serious injury.
You should only start moving when you are properly seated on the bicycle seat.
• Do not activate the throttle function if the rear wheel is not touching the ground. Otherwise, the wheel will
rotate in the air at high speed and may cause injury.
• Be sure to check the remaining battery capacity before riding at night. The light powered by the battery pack
will go off soon after the remaining battery capacity decreases to the point where riding with assisted power is
no longer possible. Riding without a light may increase the risk of injury.
• Do not modify or remove any parts of the pedal assistance system. Do not install non-original parts
or accessories. If you do, they may damage the product, cause a fault or increase the risk of being injured.
• When you stop, make sure that you apply the front and rear brakes and keep your feet on the ground. Leaving
one foot on a pedal when stationary could accidentally activate the assisted power function, which could
cause you to lose control and suffer serious injury.
1.2 CHARGER
• Never use this battery charger to charge other electrical devices.
• Do not use any other charger or charging method to recharge the batteries of the electric bicycle.
Using any other charger may lead to a fire, explosion or damage to the batteries.
• This battery charger may be used by children aged 8 or over and by persons with physical, sensory or mental
impairments, or who lack the necessary experience and knowledge, provided that they are supervised and
instructed on how to use the battery charger safely and they understand the dangers involved. Do not allow
children to play with the battery charger. Cleaning and maintenance should not be performed by unsupervised
children.
• Although the battery charger is water resistant, do not allow it to be submerged in water or other liquids.
Furthermore, never use the battery charger if the terminals are wet.
• Never touch the power plug, charging port or contacts of the charger with wet hands. You may suffer
an electric shock.
• Do not touch the contacts of the charger with metal objects. Do not allow any foreign matter to enter, it may
cause short circuits in the contacts, which may cause electric shock, a fire or damage to the battery charger.
• Regularly clean any dust off the power plug. Moisture or other problems could reduce the effectiveness of the
insulation and cause a fire.
• Never dismantle or modify the battery charger. You may cause a fire or suffer an electric shock.
• Do not use multi-socket adaptors or extension cables. Using a multi-socket adaptor or similar may exceed the
rated current and cause a fire.
• Do not use with the cable tied up or coiled and do not store with the cable coiled around the body of the main
charger. If the cable is damaged it may cause a fire or you may suffer an electric shock.
• Firmly insert the power plug and charging plug in the socket. If the power plug and charging plug are not fully
inserted, this may cause a fire due to an electric shock or overheating.
• Do not use the battery charger near flammable materials or gases.
This may cause a fire or explosion.
• Never cover the battery charger or place objects on it while it is charging. This may lead to internal overheating
and cause a fire.
• Do not drop the battery charger or expose it to strong impacts. Otherwise, it may cause a fire or electric shock.
• If the power cable is damaged, stop using the battery charger and take it to an authorised dealer.
• Handle the power cable with care. Plugging in the battery charger indoors while the bicycle is outdoors may
lead to the power cable being caught on or damaged by doors or windows.
• Do not pass the wheels of the bicycle over the power cable or plug.
Otherwise you may damage the power cable or port.
