INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of this BH ATOMX. Enjoy your BH bike!
For over a century, BH has been synonymous with bicycles, cycling, sportsmanship and the will to improve.
Manychildrenhavegiventheirrst,hesitantturnsofthepedalswithBHandmanylegendarycyclistsbuilt
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 point onwards, thanks to technological advances and its commitment to sport, BH has brought
sporting triumphs and numerous innovations to the world of cycling.
This manual is designed to help you with the functions and maintenance of your BH ATOM X pedal-assist bicycle.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE WARNINGS INCLUDED IN THIS MANUAL MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH.

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 back 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.

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 100% AUTO power mode (or BOOST), the 70% mode (or SPORT), the 50% mode (or ECO+), the
30% mode (or ECO) or the 0% mode (or NO ASSIST), depending on what best suits your cycling conditions.
Seethe“DISPLAYPANEL”sectiontondouthowtoswitchbetweenassistancemodes.
AUTO Use when you want to obtain gradual power.
100% or BOOST Use when you want to get maximum power from the system.
70% or SPORT Usewhenclimbingdifcultterrains.
50% or ECO + Use when you want a more comfortable ride, e.g. when climbing a steep hill.
30% or ECO Use when you want to travel as far as possible.
0% or 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).
• Ifthebicycleisnotinasuitablecondition,e.g.lowpressureinthetyres,insufcientlubricationofthechain

3.5 Starting Pedalling
Beforerestingyourfeetonthepedals,youmustsitontheseatandholdthehandlebarrmly.Specialcare
should be taken if you start pedalling when using a high assistance mode (100%/BOOST mode, or 70%/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
putthebicycleinmotion,helpingyoutojointhetrafcquicklyandsafely.
WARNING
Start pedalling with a short gear ratio (higher gears) and low assistance mode
(30% or ECO mode). As well as providing greater control and safety on the
bicycle, it requires less energy consumption and, therefore, ensures a longer
range. Please note that starting with a higher assistance mode (50%/ECO+,
70%/SPORT, or 100%/BOOST modes), may put the user's safety at risk.
WARNING
When the user pushes the bike while walking alongside it, they must make
sure that the system is disconnected.

WARNING
After turning the system on, make sure that you do not start riding without checking the
assistance mode. By default, it starts with the assistance mode selected before it was last
switched off.
NOTE
Wait for 3 seconds after turning on the system before you start applying pressure on the
pedals. During this 3-second period, the assistance system is starting up and calibrating
the torque sensor. Otherwise, if you press the pedal beforehand, this may weaken
assistance and error 14 may even be displayed on the screen (see Troubleshooting
section).Toxthis,youshouldrebootthesystemwithoutapplyingpressureonthepedals
for a period of 3 seconds.
