46 CARE AND INSPECTION
SERVICING AND INSPECTION
First service:
A special maintenance schedule has been devel-
oped by our experienced technicians. On the first
kilometres/miles, for example, the wheels may be
subject to a certain bedding-in process or bowden
and brake cables may stretch, making gear shift-
ing imprecise. Depending on how much you cycle,
the repair of worn-down parts may be necessary
already. In this case you will be contacted by a
service technician beforehand.
Regular annual service:
Following a long and challenging season we rec-
ommend that you have your pedelec thoroughly
checked. Who could do this better than those who
built your pedelec?
The annual service will be carried out by our
skilled staff according to a maintenance schedule
tailored to your bicycle type.
If a component needs to be replaced,
make it a rule to only use original spare
parts. Wearing parts of other manufacturers,
e.g. brake pads or tyres that are not of identical
size, may cause harm to the safety of your
pedelec. Risk of accident! If you do not, the CE
marking as well as your warranty will become
null and void. During the first 2 years (and the
warranty period respectively) Canyon makes
available all essential spare parts. In the event
of unavailability Canyon will offer spare parts
of equal or higher value. Contact our service
hotline.
Remove the rechargeable battery or the
display before doing any work on your
pedelec (e.g. servicing, repairs, assembly,
maintenance, work on your drive etc.). Activat-
ing the drive systems unintentionally bears the
risk of injury!
For more information on how to use the
battery's performance to the maximum,
see chapter "Proper handling of the recharge-
able battery".
Canyon safety check:
If you ride your pedelec less than 1,000 km (620
miles) a year, it requires correspondingly less
servicing. In this case the Canyon safety check
is exactly what you need. For this purpose our
specialists have developed a schedule for this
demand-oriented maintenance. This schedule in-
cludes less routines than an annual service, how-
ever all safety-relevant issues. We recommend
that you have this check carried out before setting
off into the new season or before going on a trip
so that you can take off without a care.
Make an appointment in advance to ensure that
your pedelec runs through this check as quickly
as possible.
To be able to enjoy your pedelec for
many years it needs to be serviced reg-
ularly. More information in this regard are giv-
en in chapter "Service and maintenance
schedule" in your detailed type-specific Canyon
bicycle manual. The times specified there is a
rough guide for cyclists riding between 750
and 1,500 km (460 and 930 miles) per year. If
you regularly cycle a lot more on poor road
surfaces or cross-country, it will require corre-
spondingly shorter maintenance periods. This
includes frequent rides in the rain or generally
in moist conditions, as well.
