NOTES ON THIS
TRANSLATION OF THE
ORIGINAL OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This translation of the original operating instructions
is an additional set of instructions which together
with the comprehensive world-specific Canyon bi-
cycle manual MTB, Road or Urban and the system
instructions of the drive manufacturer corresponds
to the requirements of the standard EN 15194 for
Cycles – Electrically power assisted cycles or, re-
spectively, DIN EN 17404:2019-07 (draft) for EPAC
mountain bikes, the standard EN ISO 4210-2 and
the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Also observe
the manuals of the component manufacturers. You
can find these under www.canyon.com/downloads
(as of November 2020).
In the following chapters this translation of the
original operating instructions is referred to as
Manual Pedelec.
In this translation of the original operating in-
structions, bicycles with drive support described
as EPAC mountain bikes in the European stand-
ards EN 15194 and EN 17404:2019-07 (draft) are
referred to as pedelecs. A precise description of
the pedelec is given in the chapter "Intended use".
The translation of these operating instructions is
subject to European law. If delivered to countries
outside Europe, supplementary information has to
be provided by the bicycle manufacturer.
Technical details in the text and illustrations of
this translation of the original operating instruc-
tions are subject to change.
Keep this translation of the original op-
erating instructions for future reference
and hand it over to the respective user, in case
you sell, lend or pass on the pedelec otherwise.
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 enjoy riding your pedelec and for your own
safety, please read the Manual Pedelec, the com-
prehensive world-specific Canyon bicycle manual
and your model's Quick Start Guide and
carefully follow the assembly instructions and
X
the checklist "Before every ride",
observe and follow the instructions given in the
X
chapter "Before your first ride",
read the chapter "Intended use" to learn for
X
which types of use your new pedelec is intended
and what its maximum permitted overall weight
is, and
carry out the minimum functional check before
X
every ride. For more details on how to proceed,
read the chapter "Before every ride" of this Man-
ual Pedelec. Do not set off unless the functional
check was passed one hundred per cent!
You find your comprehensive world-specific Canyon
bicycle manual on our website, www.canyon.com.
A lot of adjusting, maintenance and repair works
are described there in detail. When carrying out
these routines, be aware that the instructions and
information provided in your Manual Pedelec only
refer to this Canyon pedelec and that they do not
necessarily apply to other bikes or pedelecs. Due
to numerous designs and model 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 vid-
eos 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 every
possible combination of pedelec models and
components or parts on the market. Therefore,
this Manual Pedelec together with the system
instructions of the drive manufacturer and your
comprehensive world-specific Canyon bicycle
manual focuses on your newly purchased pedelec
and standard components and provides 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 which 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
should be aware of 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!
