3. PEDAL ASSISTANCE SYSTEM OPERATION

3.1

Components of the Pedal Assistance System

The BH ILynx pedal assistance system consists of the following components:
A. A motor, which drives the bicycle.
B. A display panel, which, among other things, allows you to select the assistance modes.
C. A battery that powers the operation of the motor and can be located in different places.
D. A torque sensor that reads the force applied on the pedal by the user.

3.2 The Pedal Assistance System
The pedal assistance system is designed to provide the optimal amount of assisted power.
It provides assistance within a standard range, based on factors such as the pedalling force, the speed of the bicycle
and the drivetrain. The system does not provide assistance in the following situations:
- If the display panel is switched off.
- When travelling at 25 km/h or faster.
- If you are not pedalling and the throttle function is released at 6 km/h.
- If there is no remaining battery life.
- If the assistance mode selected is 0% assistance.

3.3 Assistance Modes of the Pedal Assistance System

There are multiple power assistance modes available.
Select the power mode, AUTO, BOOST, SPORT, ECO +, ECO and NO ASSIST, depending on what best suits
your cycling conditions.
See the "DISPLAY PANEL" section to find out how to switch between assistance modes.
BOOST Use when you want to get maximum power from the system.
SPORT Use when climbing difficult terrains.
ECO + Use when you want a more comfortable ride, e.g. when climbing a steep hill.
ECO Use when you want to travel as far as possible.
NO ASSIST Use when you want to travel without assisted power. You can continue to use the other
functions of the display panel.

3.4 Range of the Pedal Assistance System

The range of the system will vary, depending on the following riding conditions, among others:
• Frequent starts and stops.
• Gear ratio of the drivetrain.
• Numerous steep slopes.
• Poor road conditions.
• Transporting heavy loads.
• Cycling into a strong headwind.
• Low ambient temperature.
• Deteriorated battery.
• When using the light (only applicable to models equipped with battery-powered lights).
• If the bicycle is not in a suitable condition, e.g. low pressure in the tyres, insufficient lubrication of the chain or
a brake not fitted correctly.

3.5 Starting Pedalling

Before resting your feet on the pedals, you must sit on the seat and hold the handlebar firmly. Special care
should be taken if you start pedalling when using a high assistance mode (BOOST mode, or SPORT mode),
as the motor will respond with maximum thrust and you may lose control. To facilitate acceleration, the motor
provides an additional initial thrust as soon as you start pedalling. So minimal force is necessary to put the
bicycle in motion, helping you to join the traffic quickly and safely.
Start pedalling with a short gear ratio (higher gears) and low assistance mode
(ECO mode). As well as providing greater control and safety on the bicycle,
it requires less energy consumption and, therefore, ensures a longer range.
WARNING
Please note that starting with a higher assistance mode (ECO +, SPORT and
BOOST modes) may put the user's safety at risk.
When the user pushes the bike while walking alongside it, they must make
sure that the system is disconnected.
