STEVENS Speed Pedelecs – Special Features
Note that to maintain insurance cover components of your STEVENS speed
pedelec must only be replaced by original components. Only use spare parts con-
firmed by experts reports on the approval for your STEVENS speed pedelec. As an
alternative you may also go through an individual approval process by the German
inspection authority TÜV or by the respective authorities in the country where you
use your speed pedelec.
Components which must not be replaced or only after a type test, e.g. carried out
by a technical inspection agency: Frame, fork, drive unit, rechargeable battery, tyres,
rims, brake system, front and rear light, kickstand, handlebars, stem, seat post,
mirror, control element/display, pannier rack and licence plate frame.
The following components can be replaced, even without any further test: Pedals
(pedal reflectors are compulsory), mudguards (with rounded edge at the front mud-
guard), saddle and rubber grips on the handlebars, gear components (provided the
highest transmission remains identical), chain, headset, inner tube and hub as well
as bell.
Drive Maintenance and Care
For more information read chapter
“Maintenance and Service”
in the BOSCH system
instructions or chapter
“Method of use”
in the SHIMANO STePS system instructions
on the enclosed CD-ROM.
Danger:
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 STEVENS pedelec. Risk of accident! In the case of speed pedelecs be
sure to only assemble original spare parts, otherwise the operating licence expires.
Danger:
If the rechargeable batteries of your pedelec/speed pedelec, the Di2, the odometer, the
cycle computer or the GPS device have reached the end of their service life, they must
not be disposed of with standard household waste. Bring the rechargeable battery in-
stead to the dealer, where you buy your new one. Ask your STEVENS dealer for advice.
Caution:
The drive is not approved for steam cleaning, high-pressure cleaning or cleaning with a
water hose. The contact of water with the electronics or the drive can destroy the units. The
individual drive components can be cleaned with a soft rag and neutral detergents. You may
use a moist rag, but not excessive water. Do not submerge the rechargeable battery!
Caution:
If in case of a repair no original spare parts are available, observe the replacement
parts guidelines issued by the German service and bicycle association (VSF), the
German Bicycle Association (ZIV) and the Federal Guild Association (BIV). In case of
inquiries contact your STEVENS dealer.
Note:
The law referring to full
warranty rights is only
valid in the countries
where the law has been
ratified according to the
renewed European reg-
ulations. Inform yourself
about the situation in
your country.
Note:
The coating/paint of frames and forks is subject to particular consideration, i.e. the
coating is, by nature, exposed to stress during use and can wear down or be affected
by minor damage. This type of wear or damage as a result of mechanical stress (e.g.
scratches due to rough contact with other objects) is not covered by the terms of
warranty.
Warranty and Guarantee for STEVENS Bikes
Warranty
Your STEVENS pedelec was manufactured with care. Normally it is delivered to
you by your STEVENS dealer fully mounted. As direct purchaser you have full war-
ranty rights within the first two years after purchase. Contact your STEVENS dealer
in the event of defects. To ensure a smooth handling of your claim, it is necessary to
present your receipt, your bike card, the handover report and the stamped service
reports. Therefore, keep these documents in a safe place.
To ensure a long service life and good durability of your STEVENS pedelec, use
it only for its intended purpose
(see chapter “Before your First Ride“)
. Also observe
the permissible load specifications as specified there and in the bike card. Be sure
to strictly follow the mounting instructions of the manufacturers (above all the tight-
ening torques of the bolts) as well as the prescribed maintenance schedule. Observe
the checks and routines that are listed in the present user manual and the manuals
supplied or the replacement of safety-relevant components, such as handlebars,
brakes etc, if necessary.
A Note on Wear
Some components of your bike are subject to wear due to their function. The rate
of wear will depend on care and maintenance and the way you use your pedelec
(mileage, riding in the rain, dirt, salt etc.). Bicycles that are often left standing in the
open may also be subject to increased wear through weathering.
