DEAR CANYON CUSTOMER,
In this Manual Pedelec we have compiled for you
lots of tips on how to use your pedelec, instructions for maintenance and care plus a wealth
of things worth knowing on bicycle and pedelec
technology. Read this Manual Pedelec thoroughly.
You will nd it worth your while; even if you have
cycled all your life and feel like a veteran with
your new bike or pedelec. Pedelec technology has
developed at a rapid pace during recent years.
To have always fun and for your own safety when
cycling on your pedelec, you should read this Manual Pedelec thoroughly and
strictly follow the assembly instructions given in
chapter “Assembly from the BikeGuard“,
observe and follow the instructions given in
chapter “Before your rst ride“,
see chapter “Intended use“ to read up on how
to use your new pedelec and on the permitted
overall weight (rider, clothing and luggage) and
carry out the minimum functional check before
every ride. For more details on how to proceed,
read chapter "Before every ride“ of this Manu-
al Pedelec. Do not set o unless the functional
check was passed one hundred per cent!
On the digital data medium enclosed with this
Manual Pedelec you will nd a number of adjusting, maintenance and repair routines in detail.
When carrying out these routines, be aware that
the instructions and information provided in your
Manual Pedelec only refer to this pedelec and
that they do not necessarily apply to other bikes
or pedelecs. Due to numerous designs and model changes, it may be that some of the routines
are not described in every detail. For this reason
strictly observe the manuals of our component
suppliers enclosed with the BikeGuard.
Note that the instructions and tips may require
further explanation depending on various factors,
such as the experience and skills of the person
doing the work or the tools being used, and some
jobs may require additional (special) tools or
measures not described in the manual.
Furthermore, you will nd numerous service movies on our website www.canyon.com that will
help you carry out small repair and maintenance
works. For your own safety, never do work on your
bicycle unless you feel absolutely sure about it.
If you are in doubt or if you have any questions,
contact our service hotline.
Note: This Manual Pedelec cannot teach you the
skills of a bicycle mechanic. Even a manual as
big as an encyclopaedia could not describe any
possible combination of pedelec models and components or parts on the market. Therefore, this
Manual Pedelec together with the system instructions of the drive manufacturer and your detailed
type-specic Canyon bicycle manual focus on
your newly purchased pedelec and standard components and provide the most useful information
and warnings. It does, however, not teach you how
to fully assemble a pedelec!
This Manual Pedelec cannot teach you how to ride
the pedelec. Be aware that riding a pedelec is a
potentially dangerous activity, especially on public
roads that requires the rider to stay in control of
his or her pedelec at all times. Be aware from
the moment you set o that you ride at a higher speed. Always keep this fact in mind and ride
considerately!
Like any sport, riding a pedelec involves the risk of
injury and damage. When you set o on a pedelec
you should be aware and accept this risk.
Please note that on a pedelec you have no safety
devices around you (e.g. bodywork, ABS, airbag)
like you have in a car.
Therefore, always ride carefully and respect the
other trac participants. Never ride under the inuence of drugs, medication, alcohol or when you
are tired. Do not ride with a second person on your
pedelec and never ride without having both hands
on the handlebar.
Observe the legal regulations concerning cycling
with pedelecs o the roads. These regulations
may dier in each country. Respect nature when
riding through the forest and in the open countryside. Only use your pedelec on signposted, well
maintained trails and hard-surface roads.
Always bear in mind that you travel rapidly and
quietly. Do not startle pedestrians or other bike
or pedelec cyclists. Always make others aware of
your presence well ahead of time and by ringing
your bell or make use of the brakes so as to avoid
accidents. Familiarize yourself with your pedelec.
Before you set o note: Never ride without a properly adjusted helmet and without glasses and take
care to always wear suitable, bright clothing. As a
minimum you should wear straight cut trousers
and shoes tting the pedal system.
Keep the translation of these original
operating instructions for future reference and hand it over to the respective user, in
case you sell, lend or pass on the pedelec otherwise.
Your Canyon team wishes you lots of fun with
your pedelec!

INTENDED USE
To dene the intended purposes for the dierent types of bicycles and pedelecs, we have classied our
bikes in dierent categories. The purpose of this classication is to dene the test requirements complying with the respective stress as early as during the development of our bikes. This is to ensure the
highest possible level of safety for the use of our bikes.
It is therefore of major importance that the bikes and pedelecs are not used under conditions beyond
the intended use, as this bears the risk that the bikes’ and pedelecs’ maximum load is exceeded and the
frame or other components are damaged. This can result in severe crashes.
The permissible maximum overall weight comprising rider, luggage and pedelec should not exceed
130kg. Under certain circumstances this permissible maximum weight can be further limited by the
component manufacturers’ recommendations for use.
The frame of your pedelec is marked according to the following symbol indicating the category your
pedelec belongs to. If you are not sure about the category your pedelec belongs to, contact our service
centre.
Strictly observe the category to which your
pedelec belongs. The category can be identied
by the frame marking. The category species the
grounds on which you are allowed to ride on and
the riding actions for which your pedelec is designed. The categories are described in your detailed type-specic Canyon bicycle manual and on
our website www.canyon.com
If you are not sure about the category your bike
belongs to, contact our service hotline.
The pedelecs are not approved in general for mounting child carriers.
The pedelecs are not approved for towing trailers.
Be sure to also read the detailed
type-specic Canyon bicycle manual as
well as the system instructions of the drive
manufacturer.
Bikes with carbon seat posts are not
approved for mounting pannier racks.
The only way of riding with luggage is by using
a special bicycle backpack.
Keep yourself informed by visiting our
always updated website at
www.canyon.com. There you will nd an illustration visualising the intended use of all
Canyon bike models.
6 7BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
INTENDED USE
Pedelecs (Pedal Electric Cycles) or EPACs (Electrically Power Assisted Cycles) are bicycles with
auxiliary motor that only switches on when the
pedals are moved by the rider. When you stop
pedalling, the motor switches o.
The pushing aid provides assistance during
pushing the pedelec or when doing a hill start,
even without pedalling, up to a speed of 6kmh
(3.7mph). The amount of the assistance and the
speed depend on the gear.
More details on the legal regulations for riding a
pedelec concerning driving licence, registration,
type approval, requirement to wear a helmet, insurance, regulations on the use of cycle lanes etc.

Last update 2017/03
Note that there are dierent types of
pedelecs and e-bikes which are subject
to dierent legal framework conditions. Therefore, observe the symbol on your frame. The
category to which your pedelec belongs is determined by this symbol. Keep the specic regulations for your pedelec/e-bike class in mind
when riding on public roads and through the
landscape.
More information on the intended use
of your pedelec as well as the permitted
maximum overall weight (rider, pedelec and
luggage) are given in the system instructions
of the drive manufacturer and in chapter “Be-
fore your rst ride”.
Do not modify or manipulate (“tune”)
your pedelec. Risk of accident! Modications and manipulations will render the warranty void and result in a loss of the private
liability insurance cover. The pedelecs are then
possibly no longer approved for use on public
roads and on forest trails.
The regulations and rules for pedelecs
are being revised constantly. Read the
daily press to keep you informed about current
legislative changes.
We recommend that you take out pri-
vate liability insurance. Make sure that
coverage for damage caused during cycling by
bicycle or pedelec is provided by your insurance. Contact your insurance company or
agency.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST
RIDE
1. Have you ever ridden a pedelec? Note the particular riding characteristics of this revolutionary hybrid drive concept. Set o for your rst
ride by selecting the lowest level of drive assistance! Make yourself carefully familiar with
the potential of your pedelec in an area free of
trac and try out the terrain you want to ride
on. Attend a riding technique course. For more
information visit www.canyon.com
More information in this regard are given in
chapter “Riding the pedelec”.
2. In general, our pedelecs are designed for a
permissible overall weight (rider, luggage and
pedelec together) of 130kg. Make sure not to
exceed this limit.
For more information on the intended use read
chapter “Intended use” or contact our service
hotline.
3. If you want to use your bicycle on public roads,
it has to comply with the respective legal requirements. These requirements may vary in
each country. The ttings of your pedelec are,
therefore, not necessarily complete. Inform
yourself about the laws and regulations applicable in your country or in the country you
intend to use the pedelec. Have your pedelec
equipped accordingly, before using it on public
roads.
The weight distribution on pedelecs dif-
fers markedly from the weight distribution on bicycles without drive assistance. A
pedelec is clearly heavier than a bicycle without drive assistance. For this reason parking,
pushing, liing and carrying the pedelec is
more dicult. Bear this in mind when loading
your pedelec into a car and unloading it or
when mounting it on a bicycle carrier system.
Do not hang any bags, umbrellas or other heavy or big objects to the handlebar
of your pedelec. Risk of a fall!
Strictly observe the category to which
your pedelec belongs. The category can
be identied by the frame marking. The category species the grounds on which you are
allowed to ride on and the riding actions for
which your pedelec is designed. The category
is given in chapter “Intended use”. If you are
not sure about the category your bike belongs
to, contact our service hotline.
Do not wear long skirts or ponchos and
do not hang long strings, bands or the
like to your pedelec during the ride. There is
the risk of getting caught in the wheels or in
the drive. Risk of a fall!
8 9BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
4. The rechargeable battery of your pedelec must
be charged before you set o for the rst time.
Are you familiar with the handling and mounting of the rechargeable battery? Before you set
o for the rst time, check whether the battery is properly mounted, that it has engaged
audibly and that it is locked.
For more information see the system instruc-
tions of the drive manufacturer.
5. The functions of your pedelec are operated
with the buttons of the control element on the
handlebar. Are you familiar with all functions
and displays? Check whether you know the
functions of all buttons. For more information
see the system instructions of the drive manufacturer.
6. Are you familiar with the brake system? Our
pedelecs are normally delivered with the le
brake lever operating the front brake. Check
whether the lever of the front brake is in the
position you are used to. If it is not, you will
need to train to get used to the new conguration, as inadvertent use of the front brake
can throw you o your bike. Have the leverto-brake assignment changed by an expert, if
necessary.
Your new pedelec is equipped with modern
brakes which may be far more powerful than
those you were used to so far. Be sure to rst
practise using the brakes o public roads! Do
approach the maximum possible deceleration
gradually. For more details on brakes read
chapter “The brake system” in your detailed
type-specic Canyon bicycle manual.
7. Are you familiar with the type and function-
ing of the gears? If not, make yourself familiar
with the gears in a place clear of trac. Make
sure not to pedal with too much force when
shiing. For more details on the gears read
chapter “The gears” in your detailed type-specic Canyon bicycle manual.
We recommend that you charge your
battery during the day and only in dry
rooms which have a smoke or a re detector,
but keep it o your bedroom. Place the battery
during the charging process on a big, non-inammable plate made of ceramics or glass!
Charge your battery only with the sup-
plied charger. Do not use the charger of
any other manufacturer, not even when the
connector of the charger matches your rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery
can heat up, catch re or even explode!
Do not park the pedelec in the blazing
sun.
Note that the rechargeable battery
switches into the sleep mode aer a
few days of non-use. If you want to know how
to awake the battery, read system instructions
of the drive manufacturer.
Pulling the brake lever of the rear brake
stops the motor – emergency stop!
Be aware that the brakes of your
pedelec are always more eective than
the drive. If you will face any problems with
your drive (e.g. because it pushes you forward
before a turn), slow down your pedelec carefully.
Note that the brake lever setup may
vary from country to country! Check
which brake lever acts on which brake. If it
does not comply with your habits, we recommend that you ask an expert change the brake
lever setup!
10 11
BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
8.
Does the frame size t, are saddle and handlebar properly adjusted?
of your pedelec and check whether there is
enough clearance between the top tube and
your crotch (at least one handbreadth). The
saddle should be set to a height from which
you can just reach the pedal in its lowest position with your heel. Check whether your toes
reach to the oor when you are sitting on the
saddle. Riding with a too big frame may cause
injuries, when getting o the bike quickly! For
more information on the saddle position read
chapter “Adjusting the Canyon bike to the rid-
er” in your detailed type-specic Canyon bicycle manual.
9. Have you ever tried clipless or step-in pedals
and the shoes they go with? Before setting o
with clipless pedals for the rst time, carefully practise locking one shoe onto a pedal and
disengaging it while the bike is stationary. Lean
against a wall when practising so that you do
not topple over. Adjust the locking and release
mechanism, if necessary. Be sure to rst read
the operating instructions that you will nd in
the BikeGuard. For more details on pedals read
chapter “The pedal systems” in your detailed
type-specic Canyon bicycle manual.
Stand over the top tube
10. If you bought a pedelec with suspension, you
should check the air pressure of the suspension fork and the rear shock. If necessary, use
the pump included in the BikeGuard for the
adjustment. Improperly adjusted suspension
forks and rear shocks are liable to malfunction
or damage. This will in any case impair the riding behaviour as well as your safety whilst riding. For more information read chapters “The
suspension fork” and “Full-suspension” in your
detailed type-specic Canyon bicycle manual.
11. Are parts of your pedelec made of carbon?
Note that this material requires special care
and careful use. Read in any case the chapter
"Special characteristics of carbon” in your detailed type-specic Canyon bicycle manual.
Note that in wet conditions the brake
performance is less eective and the
tyre grip reduced. Look well ahead when riding
on wet ground and ride clearly slower than in
dry conditions.
The weight distribution on pedelecs dif-
fers markedly from the weight distribution on bicycles without drive assistance. A
pedelec is clearly heavier than a bicycle without drive assistance. For this reason parking,
pushing, liing and carrying the pedelec is
more dicult. Bear this in mind when loading
your pedelec into a car and unloading it or
when mounting it on a bicycle carrier system.
When mounting your pedelec, make
sure not to step in the pedals until you
sit in the saddle and grip the handlebar tight
and that one pedal is at the lowest position
when you get on. The motor assistance might
switch on suddenly and result in an uncontrolled start of your pedelec. Risk of a fall!
In particular, make sure there is enough
clearance between crotch and top tube
so you cannot hurt yourself when you have to
get o quickly.
A lack of practice with or a too tight
disengaging mechanism of clipless pedals may result in problems of unclipping from
the pedals! Risk of a fall!
Our pedelecs are high-end sports equip-
ment, representing lightweight construction as pinnacle of engineering. Also be a
professional when it comes to handling of the
material. Misuse, unprofessional assembly or
insucient maintenance can render the
pedelec unsafe. Risk of accident!
Be aware that the distance you need to
stop your pedelec may increase, when
you are riding with your hands on bar ends.
The brake levers are not in all gripping positions within easy reach.
Note that not all pedelecs are tted with
kickstands. Therefore, when parking
your pedelec, make sure it stands safe and secure and is not at risk of toppling over or being
knocked over. If your pedelec topples over, it
can suer from damage.
Check with your insurers that the
pedelec as well as the storekeeping and
the charging of lithium-ion batteries are covered by your household and re insurance.
Read the daily press to keep yourself informed
about current legislative changes.

BEFORE EVERY RIDE
BEFORE EVERY RIDE
BEFORE EVERY RIDE
During production your pedelec was checked repeatedly and subject to a nal check.
Nevertheless, be sure to check the following
points before every ride to exclude any malfunctioning that may be due to the transport of your
pedelec or to modications 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-specic 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 aer each longer
ride (e.g. less than 50 % charged). Modern lithium-ion batteries have no memory eect. It
does not matter, though, if your pedelec is le
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.
4. 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
o 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 o with a loose and unlocked 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 sucient pressure? Note that a
pedelec weighs heavier and that your usual
tyre pressure may be insucient. A higher
pressure gives a better riding stability and reduces the risk of a puncture. The minimum
and maximum pressure (in bar or psi) is indicated 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-specic Canyon bicycle
manual.
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.). Activating the drive systems unintentionally bears the
risk of injury!
Remove the display, if possible, when
parking the pedelec. This is to protect
the pedelec against the; in addition, it cannot
be used with drive assistance ad hoc.
14 15
BEFORE EVERY RIDE
BEFORE EVERY RIDE
7. Test the brakes while standing by rmly pull-
ing brake levers towards the handlebar. A
pressure point should be reached aer the
lever has only travelled a short distance; the
lever must, however, not touch the handlebar!
If your bike has hydraulic brakes, check the
hydraulic brake cables for oil leaks. For more
information read chapter “The brake system”
in your detailed type-specic Canyon bicycle
manual.
8. Let your pedelec bounce on the ground from
a small height. If there is any rattling, check
where it comes from. Check the bearings, the
bolts and the proper seat of the battery, if necessary.
9. If you want to ride on public roads, make sure
your pedelec is equipped according to the regulations of your country. Riding without lights
and reectors in dark or dim conditions is very
dangerous because you will be seen too late
or not at all by other road users. For riding on
public roads your pedelec must be tted with
the prescribed reectors and for riding in the
dark a permissible lighting system. Turn on the
lights as soon as dusk sets in.
For more information read chapter “Legal re-
quirements for riding on public roads” in your
detailed type-specic Canyon bicycle manual.
To safe your pedelec from damage, ob-
serve the maximum overall weight and
the regulations regarding the transport of luggage and children in chapter “Intended use”.
Furthermore, we recommend reading chapter
“Transport of the pedelec” before transporting
your pedelec by car or plane.
10. If you have a pedelec with suspension, check
it as follows: Press down on your pedelec and
see whether the suspension elements retract
and extend as usual.
For more information read chapters “The sus-
pension fork” and “Full-suspension” in your
detailed type-specic Canyon bicycle manual.
11. The major accessory for a successful cycling
tour is a small tool bag tted underneath the
saddle. The tool kit should include two plastic tyre levers, the most commonly used Allen
keys, a spare tube, a tyre repair kit, your mobile
phone and a little cash. Do not forget a tyre
pump mounted to the frame.
12. If your bike has a kickstand, make sure it is
fully raised before you set o. Risk of a fall!
13. Take a sturdy folding, chain or D-lock with you,
if you want to park your pedelec. The only way
to protect the pedelec against the is to lock it
to an immovable object.
Do not use your pedelec, if it fails on
one of these points! Riding a defective
pedelec can result in serious accidents! If you
are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact our service hotline.
The drive is free of vibrations. During
use your pedelec is undergoing stress
resulting from the surface of the road and
through the rider’s action. Due to these dynamic loads, the dierent components are affected by wear and fatigue. Check your pedelec
regularly for wear marks as well as for
scratches, dents, bent parts and incipient
cracking. Components which have reached the
end of their service life may fail suddenly
without previous warning. Have your pedelec
inspected regularly so that components in
question can be replaced, if necessary. For
more information on maintenance and operational safety read chapters “General notes on
care and inspection”, “Recommended tighening
torques” and “Service and maintenance schedule” in your detailed type-specic Canyon bicy-
cle manual.
