48 49CARE AND INSPECTION
Canyon safety check:
If you ride your pedelec less than 1,000 km (620
miles) a year, it requires correspondingly less
servicing. In this case the Canyon safety check
is exactly what you need. For this purpose our
specialists have developed a schedule for this
demand-oriented maintenance. This schedule in-
cludes less routines than an annual service, how-
ever all safety-relevant issues. We recommend
that you have this check carried out before setting
o into the new season or before going on a trip
so that you can take o without a care.
Make an appointment in advance to ensure that
your pedelec runs through this check as quickly
as possible.
CARE AND INSPECTION
To be able to enjoy your pedelec for
many years it needs to be serviced reg-
ularly. More information in this regard is pro-
vided in the chapter “Service and maintenance
schedule” in your comprehensive world-spe-
cic Canyon bicycle manual. The times speci-
ed there is a rough guide for cyclists riding
between 750 and 1,500 km (460 and 930
miles) per year. If you regularly cycle a lot more
on poor road surfaces or cross-country, it will
require correspondingly shorter maintenance
periods. This includes frequent rides in the
rain or generally in moist conditions, as well.
You will nd numerous service details
on our website www.canyon.com that
will help you carry out small repair and main-
tenance works. Never do work on your bicycle
unless you feel absolutely sure about it! If you
are in doubt or if you have any questions, con-
tact our service hotline or use the contact
form on our website www.canyon.com
The intended use of the pedelec includes regular
servicing and the replacement of worn out parts
in time, e.g. chains, brake pads or Bowden and
brake cables, and therefore has an inuence on
the warranty and the guarantee, as well.
If a component needs to be replaced, make it a
rule to only use original spare parts.
Note that the battery of your pedelec
will show signs of wear over the years.
This will result in a degradation of the battery
and reduce more and more the range per bat-
tery charge. Aer a certain period of time it is
even necessary to replace the battery.
Keep in mind that the auxiliary drive
may lead to partly higher wear than you
are used to. This applies in particular to the
brakes and the tyres and in the case of
mid-mounted motors to the chain and the
sprockets.
If in case of a repair no original spare
parts are available, observe the replace-
ment parts guidelines issued by the German
service and bicycle association (VSF), the Ger-
man Bicycle Association (ZIV) and the Federal
Guild Association (BIV). If you have questions,
use our service hotline or the contact form on
our website, www.canyon.com
Servicing and repairs are jobs best le
to an expert. A lack of servicing or im-
proper servicing may result in the failure of
pedelec components. Risk of accident! Howev-
er, if you want to do it on your own, restrict
yourself to work for which you have the nec-
essary expert knowledge and suitable tools.
Do not touch or reach into rotating
wheels or disc brakes during the ride or
servicing. Risk of injury!
Do not reach between chain and cas-
sette sprockets during servicing and
repair of the chain and the sprockets with the
chainguard removed. Risk of injury!
Do not position your pedelec upside
down. When turning the pedelec upside
down the add-on parts, in particular those of
the handlebar, may sustain damage.
If a component needs to be replaced,
make it a rule to only use original spare
parts. Wearing parts of other manufacturers, e.g.
brake pads or tyres that are not of identical size,
may cause harm to the safety of your pedelec.
Risk of accident! If you do not, the CE marking
as well as your warranty will become null and
void. During the rst 2 years (and the warranty
period respectively) Canyon makes available all
essential spare parts. In the event of unavaila
-
bility Canyon will oer spare parts of equal or
higher value.
