CARE AND INSPECTION
The intended use of the pedelec includes regular
servicing and the replacement of worn out parts
in time, e.g. chains, brake pads or Bowden and
brake cables, and therefore has an influence on
the warranty and the guarantee, as well.
If a component needs to be replaced, make it a
rule to only use original spare parts.
If in case of a repair no original spare
parts are available, observe the replace-
ment parts guidelines issued by the German
service and bicycle association (VSF) and the
German Bicycle Association (ZIV) and the Fed-
eral Guild Association (BIV). In case of inquir-
ies, contact our service hotline.
Note that the battery of your pedelec
will show signs of wear of the years.
This will result in a degradation of the battery
and more and more reduce the range per bat-
tery charge. After a certain period of time it is
even necessary to replace the battery.
Keep in mind that the auxiliary drive
may lead to partly higher wear than you
are used to. This applies in particular to the
brakes and the tyres and in the case of
mid-mounted motors to the chain and the
sprockets.
Servicing and repairs are jobs best left
to an expert. A lack of servicing or im-
proper servicing may result in the failure of
pedelec components. Risk of accident! Howev-
er, if you want to do it on your own, restrict
yourself to work for which you have the nec-
essary expert knowledge and suitable tools.
Do not touch or reach into rotating
wheels or disc brakes during the ride or
servicing. Risk of injury!
Do not reach between chain and cas-
sette sprockets during servicing and
repair of the chain and the sprockets with the
chainguard removed. Risk of injury!
Do not position your pedelec upside
down. When turning the pedelec upside
down the add-on parts, in particular those of
the handlebar, may sustain damage.
A rechargeable battery that has reached
the end of its service life must not be
disposed of with normal household rubbish.
Ask the supplier of your new battery to dis-
pose of the battery to be replaced or 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!
Note and follow the instructions given
in the chapters on service and mainte-
nance of the system instructions of the drive
manufacturer.
Be sure to read the chapters "Service
and maintenance schedule", "Recom-
mended tightening torques", "Warranty" and
"Crash Replacement" in your detailed type-spe-
cific Canyon bicycle manual!
For more information on warranty and
guarantee read your detailed type-spe-
