BEFORE EVERY RIDE

BEFORE EVERY RIDE
During production your pedelec was checked re-
peatedly and subjected to a final check.
Nevertheless, be sure to check the following
points before every ride to exclude any malfunc-
tioning that may be due to the transport of your
pedelec or to modifications a third person may
have performed on your pedelec during a standing
time:
1. Are the quick-release levers/thru axles of the
front and rear wheel, seat post and other
components as well as of available thru axles
properly closed? For more information read
the chapter "How to use quick-releases and
thru axles" in your comprehensive world-spe-
cific Canyon bicycle manual.
2. Are the connections of the rechargeable bat-
tery, the control unit on the handlebar and the
drive properly plugged? For more information
see the system instructions of the drive man-
ufacturer.
3. Is your battery fully charged? Remember to
fully recharge the battery after each longer
ride (e.g. less than 50 % charged). Modern lith-
ium-ion batteries have no memory effect. It
does not matter, though, if your pedelec is left
as it is for a short time (e.g. overnight) when
less than 50 % charged. However, you should
not wait until the battery is fully discharged!
For more information see the system instruc-
tions of the drive manufacturer.
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!
Improperly closed quick-releases, thru
axles and attachments can cause pedelec
components to come loose. Risk of a fall!
4. Does the display on the control unit on the
handlebar show all values? Is there any error
message or warning on the display? Check the
values are correct before every ride. Do not
set off on your pedelec when the control unit
shows a warning.
For more information see the system instruc-
tions of the drive manufacturer.
5. Is the battery tight in its holder and properly
locked up? Never set off with a loose and un-
locked battery.
For more information see further below in this
translation of the instructions, the Quick Start
Guide and potentially the system instructions
of the drive manufacturer.
6. Are the tyres in good condition and do both
tyres have sufficient pressure? Note that a
pedelec weighs heavier and that your usual
tyre pressure may be insufficient. A higher
pressure gives a better riding stability and re-
duces the risk of a puncture. The minimum
and maximum pressure (in bar or psi) is indi-
cated on the tyre side.
Spin the wheels to check whether the rims
are true. Also look out for tyres with ruptured
sides or broken axles or spokes while you do
this.
For more information read the chapter "The
wheels – tyres, inner tubes and air pressure"
in your comprehensive world-specific Canyon
bicycle manual.
Remove the display, if possible, when
parking the pedelec. This is to protect
the pedelec against theft; in addition, it cannot
be used with drive assistance ad hoc.
