Intended Use
Keep in mind that every bicycle or pedelec type is built for a specific intended
use. Be sure to use your STEVENS pedelec only according to its intended use, as
the STEVENS pedelec may otherwise not withstand the stress, fail and cause an
accident with unforeseeable consequences! Using it for another than the intended
use will also void the warranty.

This category describes STEVENS E-cross bikes. They have 28-inch wheels with

STEVENS E-cross bikes are intended for hard-surface terrain, i.e. for tarred
roads and bicycle lanes or gravel field tracks, where the wheels do not lose ground
contact. In addition, they are well suited for well paved gravel paths and forest roads
as well as off-road trails with a slight slope where a temporary loss of tyre contact
with the ground due to small steps may occur. They are not suitable for off-road use
(mountain bike use), namely for all mountain, enduro, downhill (DH), freeride, dual
slalom, downhill/freeride parks, jumps, drops and in bike parks etc.
• Due to their design and fittings, STEVENS E-cross bikes are not always suit-
able for being used on public roads. If you want to use them on public roads,
these bikes must be fitted with the prescribed equipment. Observe the traffic
rules when riding on public roads. For more information read chapter
“Legal
Requirements for Riding on Public Roads”
in your comprehensive STEVENS
user manual on the enclosed CD-ROM.

training and competitive use in the categories freeride, dirt, downhill. STEVENS bikes
of this category can be used on surfaces permitted for bikes of the categories 1 and
3 and are in addition suitable for rough and unpaved terrains. Sporadic jumps are
also included in the field of use of these STEVENS bikes. But particularly inexperi-
enced riders doing jumps may land inappropriately, thus increasing the acting forces
significantly which may result in damage and injuries. We recommend that you train
your skills in a riding technique course. If necessary, ask your STEVENS dealer to
inspect your STEVENS bike at shorter intervals than according to the service and
maintenance schedule.

not permitted.
