or to repair it! Technical details in the text and
illustrations of this manual are subject to
change.
This translation of the original operating
instructions together with the compre-
hensive world-specific Canyon bicycle manual
MTB, Road or Urban complies with the require-
ments of the standard EN ISO 4210-2, the
standard EN 15194 for cycles – Electrically
power assisted cycles – EPAC bicycles or, re-
spectively, DIN EN 17404:2019-07 (draft) for

Keep in mind: During cycling you must
not hold onto a moving vehicle or trailer.
Keep both hands on the handlebar. Take your
feet off the pedals only if required by the con-
dition of the road.
For your own safety, never do any as-
sembly or adjusting work unless you
feel absolutely sure about it. If you have ques-
tions, use our service hotline or the contact

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 maximum permitted overall weight should not exceed 130 kg. If the maximum permitted overall
weight of your model is different from this, this is marked on the frame sticker.
The maximum permitted overall weight is calculated as follows:
Weight of pedelec (kg)
+ Weight of cyclist (kg)
+ Weight of luggage (e.g. rucksack, pannier bags)
+ Weight of trailer including load, persons and/or animals (kg), only if approved
= Maximum permitted overall weight (kg)
You can find information on the maximum per-
mitted overall weight on the frame sticker of your
Canyon pedelec. Strictly observe the category to
which your pedelec belongs. You can determine
the category of your pedelec by means of the
marking on the frame, which uses the following
symbols. The category specifies the grounds on
which you are allowed to ride and the riding ac-
tions your pedelec is designed for.
If you are not sure about the category your pedelec
belongs to, contact our service hotline.
Towing child trailers is not allowed in
general. Exception: You may use a
Croozer trailer with the models Pathlite:ON and
Precede:ON. If you are not sure whether you
can use a trailer with your Canyon pedelec,
please consult our website, www.canyon.com
or contact our service hotline.
INTENDED USE
The pedelecs are not approved in gener-
al for mounting child carriers.
Be sure to also read the comprehensive
world-specific Canyon bicycle manual
as well as the system instructions of the drive
manufacturer.
