DEAR CANYON CUSTOMER,
In this Manual Pedelec we have compiled for you
lots of tips on how to use your pedelec, instruc-
tions for maintenance and care plus a wealth
of things worth knowing on bicycle and pedelec
technology. Read this Manual Pedelec thoroughly.
You will find it worth your while; even if you have
cycled all your life and feel like a veteran with
your new bike or pedelec. Pedelec technology has
developed at a rapid pace during recent years.
To have always fun and for your own safety when
cycling on your pedelec, you should read this Man-
ual Pedelec thoroughly and
strictly follow the assembly instructions given in
X X
chapter "Assembly from the BikeGuard",
observe and follow the instructions given in
X X
chapter "Before your first ride",
see chapter "Intended use" to read up on how
X X
to use your new pedelec and on the permitted
overall weight (rider, clothing and luggage) and
carry out the minimum functional check before
X X
every ride. For more details on how to proceed,
read chapter "Before every ride" of this Manu-
al Pedelec. Do not set off unless the functional
check was passed one hundred per cent!
On the digital data medium enclosed with this
Manual Pedelec you will find a number of ad-
justing, maintenance and repair routines in detail.
When carrying out these routines, be aware that
the instructions and information provided in your
Manual Pedelec only refer to this pedelec and
that they do not necessarily apply to other bikes
or pedelecs. Due to numerous designs and mod-
el changes, it may be that some of the routines
are not described in every detail. For this reason
strictly observe the manuals of our component
suppliers enclosed with the BikeGuard.
Note that the instructions and tips may require
further explanation depending on various factors,
such as the experience and skills of the person
doing the work or the tools being used, and some
jobs may require additional (special) tools or
measures not described in the manual.
Furthermore, you will find numerous service mov-
ies on our website www.canyon.com that will
help you carry out small repair and maintenance
works. For your own safety, never do work on your
bicycle unless you feel absolutely sure about it.
If you are in doubt or if you have any questions,
contact our service hotline.
Note: This Manual Pedelec cannot teach you the
skills of a bicycle mechanic. Even a manual as
big as an encyclopaedia could not describe any
possible combination of pedelec models and com-
ponents or parts on the market. Therefore, this
Manual Pedelec together with the system instruc-
tions of the drive manufacturer and your detailed
type-specific Canyon bicycle manual focus on
your newly purchased pedelec and standard com-
ponents and provide the most useful information
and warnings. It does, however, not teach you how
to fully assemble a pedelec!
This Manual Pedelec cannot teach you how to ride
the pedelec. Be aware that riding a pedelec is a
potentially dangerous activity, especially on public
roads that requires the rider to stay in control of
his or her pedelec at all times. Be aware from
the moment you set off that you ride at a high-
er speed. Always keep this fact in mind and ride
considerately!
Like any sport, riding a pedelec involves the risk of
injury and damage. When you set off on a pedelec
you should be aware and accept this risk.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please note that on a pedelec you have no safety
devices around you (e.g. bodywork, ABS, airbag)
like you have in a car.
Therefore, always ride carefully and respect the
other traffic participants. Never ride under the in-
fluence of drugs, medication, alcohol or when you
are tired. Do not ride with a second person on your
pedelec and never ride without having both hands
on the handlebar.
Observe the legal regulations concerning cycling
with pedelecs off the roads. These regulations
may differ in each country. Respect nature when
riding through the forest and in the open coun-
tryside. Only use your pedelec on signposted, well
maintained trails and hard-surface roads.
Always bear in mind that you travel rapidly and
quietly. Do not startle pedestrians or other bike
or pedelec cyclists. Always make others aware of
your presence well ahead of time and by ringing
your bell or make use of the brakes so as to avoid
accidents. Familiarize yourself with your pedelec.
Before you set off note: Never ride without a prop-
erly adjusted helmet and without glasses and take
care to always wear suitable, bright clothing. As a
minimum you should wear straight cut trousers
and shoes fitting the pedal system.
Your Canyon team wishes you lots of fun with
your pedelec!
