Does the display on the control element 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 element
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 the system instruc-
tions 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 chapter
“The
wheels – tyres, inner tubes and air pressure”
in your detailed type-specific Canyon bicycle
manual.
BEFORE EVERY RIDE
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.
BEFORE EVERY RIDE
During production your pedelec was checked re-
peatedly and subject 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 chapter
“How to use
quick-releases and thru axles”
in your detailed
type-specific Canyon bicycle manual.
2.
Are the connections of the rechargeable bat-
tery, the control element on the handlebar and
the drive properly plugged?
For more information see the system instruc-
tions of the drive manufacturer.
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.
BEFORE EVERY RIDE
Improperly closed quick-releases, thru
axles and attachments can cause
pedelec components to come loose.
Risk of a
fall!
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!
