All BH products and parts have been designed to withstand splashed liquids and rain. However, some practices may
cause damage to the parts and short circuits. Do not do the following:
Wash the bicycle with pressure devices.
•
Use the bicycle under adverse weather conditions.
•
Transport the bicycle on the outside of a vehicle when it is raining.
•
Expose the batteries to very high temperatures. If the temperature exceeds 70ºC, this could cause leaks and
•
there could be a risk of fire.
Fail to observe the working temperature, storage and charging range of the bicycle.
•

We recommend the following to maximise the battery life:
Charge it on a flat and stable surface.
•
Make sure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight.
•
Make sure that there are no children or pets near.
•
Make sure that there is no rain or dampness.
•
The place must be well ventilated and dry.
•
The temperature must be between 15-25°C.
•
Do not use the battery with a charge of less than 10%. The useful life of the cells may be affected below this
•
charge level.
Any unauthorised handling of the electrical system's components may cause serious accidents and will void
the warranty.

Improper use of the batteries may cause damage and serious accidents. Follow these recommendations to prevent this:
Always use the original battery charger.
•
Never leave the battery near sources of heat.
•
Do not heat the battery or throw it into a fire.
•

Prevent the battery connections from coming into contact with metal objects.
•
Do not submerge the battery in water and prevent splashes and dampness.
•
Do not hit or drill holes into the battery.
•
Make sure that the battery liquid does not touch your hands or eyes in the event of a leak.
•
Do not use it if there are external signs of damage.
•
Only clean the battery with a dry or damp cloth.

The hot and cold environments described below may lead to charging entering standby or sleep mode without fully
charging the battery.
Winter discharging sleep mode or DUT (Discharge Under Temperature): Battery discharging will enter the
•
deep sleep mode if the temperature is below -20°C, stopping the pedal assistance system from working and
protecting the battery. In such cases, sleep mode will automatically be disabled when the battery exceeds
-20°C.
Winter charging sleep mode or CUT (Charge Under Temperature): Battery charging will enter sleep mode if the
•
temperature is below 0°C. If charging starts and the temperature falls below this level due to night cooling
or other factors, charging will stop and sleep mode will be activated to protect the battery. In such cases,
sleep mode will automatically be disabled when the battery exceeds 0°C.
Noise on televisions/radios/computers: Charging near televisions, radios or similar devices may cause static
•
electricity, flickering images and other interference. If this happens, recharge somewhere that is away from the
television or radio (e.g. in another room).

Ion-lithium batteries can be recycled but they may harm the environment if they are not managed properly after the
end of their service life. Follow these steps after the end of their service life:
Classify and recycle each electrical component in a place prepared for the sustainable recycling of such parts.
•
Check and make sure that the applicable regulations of your country are observed with regards to batteries.
•

The DC motor is located on the bottom bracket axle. The motor's service life depends on its use, as in the case of any
other part of the bicycle. Under normal conditions, the motor can last for 10 to 20 years, or up to 100,000 km.
