You should have your Velo de Ville EPAC serviced
regularly by your Velo de Ville dealer after the in-
itial “break-in” period of use. If you ride often on
poor road surfaces and with adverse weather
conditions, the time between the service inter-
vals
[c]
will shorten according to the harder use.
The off-season during the winter months is a very
good time to take your Velo de Ville EPAC to your
Velo de Ville dealer for the strongly recommend-
ed, comprehensive annual inspection, as they will
have plenty of time for you and your Velo de Ville
EPAC.
If in case of a repair no original spare parts are
available, observe the “Guidelines for the parts
replacement of CE marked e-bikes / pedelecs up
to a pedal assist of 25 km/h (15.5 mph)” issued by
the German service and bicycle association (VSF),
the German Bicycle Association (ZIV), the German
umbrella organisation for the cycle industry guilds
BIV and Zedler-Institut. It can be downloaded on
the websites. In case of inquiries contact your
Velo de Ville dealer.
Note that the components of your
Velo de Ville
Speed Pedelec
must be replaced by original
spare parts only to grant type approval and pro-
vide insurance cover.
Components which must not be replaced or only
after a type test, e.g. carried out by a technical
inspection authority: frame, fork, drive unit, re-
chargeable battery, tyres, rims, brake system, front
and rear light, kickstand, handlebars, stem
[d]
,
control unit/display. If a component needs to be
replaced, make it a rule to only use original spare
parts
[e]
.
The following components may be replaced, even
without any further test: pedals (pedal reflectors
are compulsory), mudguards (with rounded edge
at the front mudguard), pannier rack
[f]
, saddle
and rubber grips on the handlebar, gear compo-
nents (provided the highest transmission remains
identical), seat post, chain, headset, inner tube and
hub as well as bell and rear-view mirror (when re-
placed by equivalent models).
