The translation of these original operat-

Keep both hands on the handlebar. Take your
feet off the pedals, only if required by the con-

INTENDED USE
To define the intended purposes for the different types of bicycles and pedelecs, we have classified our
bikes in different categories. The purpose of this classification is to define the test requirements com-
plying with the respective stress as early as during the development of our bikes. This is to ensure the
highest possible level of safety for the use of our bikes.
It is therefore of major importance that the bikes and pedelecs are not used under conditions beyond
the intended use, as this bears the risk that the bikes' and pedelecs' maximum load is exceeded and the
frame or other components are damaged. This can result in severe crashes.
The permissible maximum overall weight comprising rider, luggage and pedelec should not exceed
130 kg. Under certain circumstances this permissible maximum weight can be further limited by the
component manufacturers' recommendations for use.
The frame of your pedelec is marked according to the following symbol indicating the category your
pedelec belongs to. If you are not sure about the category your pedelec belongs to, contact our service
centre.
Strictly observe the category to which your
pedelec belongs. The category can be identified
by the frame marking. The category specifies the
grounds on which you are allowed to ride on and
the riding actions for which your pedelec is de-
signed. The categories are described in your de-
tailed type-specific Canyon bicycle manual and on
our website www.canyon.com
If you are not sure about the category your bike
belongs to, contact our service hotline.
The pedelecs are not approved in gener-
al for mounting child carriers.
The pedelecs are not approved for tow-
ing trailers.
Be sure to also read the detailed
type-specific Canyon bicycle manual as
well as the system instructions of the drive
manufacturer.
INTENDED USE
Bikes with carbon seat posts are not
approved for mounting pannier racks.
The only way of riding with luggage is by using
a special bicycle backpack.

tration visualising the intended use of all
Canyon bike models.
