Note:

For more information

about the intended

use of your STEVENS

pedelec as well as

the permitted overall

weight (comprising

rider, luggage, a possible

trailer load and pedelec)

see the bike card and

chapter “Before Your

First Ride”.

Caution:

The weight distribution on STEVENS pedelecs differs markedly

from the weight distribution on bicycles without drive assistance. A

STEVENS pedelec is markedly heavier than a bicycle without drive

assistance. For this reason pushing, lifting and carrying the STEVENS

pedelec is more difﬁcult. Bear this in mind when loading your

pedelec into a car and unloading it or when mounting it on a bicycle

carrier system.

Caution:

Your STEVENS pedelec is

approved in principle for

mounting a child seat!

Your STEVENS dealer

will be pleased to rec-

ommend and assemble

you suitable models for

your STEVENS pedelec.

Caution:

Keep in mind that both the BOSCH as well

as the SHIMANO STePS system will switch

off after a certain period of time without

power output for reasons of energy saving.

The system is restarted by pressing the

ON/OFF button once.

Note that there are different types of pedelecs and e-bikes which are subject to

different legal framework conditions. Check the class of your STEVENS pedelec or

e-bike in the bike card. Keep the speciﬁc regulations for your pedelec/e-bike class

in mind when riding on public roads and through the landscape.

1. Pedelecs (Pedal Electric Cycles) or EPACs (Electrically Power Assisted Cycles)

are bicycles with auxiliary drive that only switches on when the pedals are moved

by the rider. When you stop pedalling, the motor switches off.

In the UK pedelecs are also referred to as EAPCs (Eletrically Assisted Pedal Cycles).

A driving licence is not required for riding a pedelec, if the motor assistance

switches off automatically at a speed of 25 kph/15 mph. The legal regulations

for riding a pedelec with regard to driving licence, registration, type approval,

requirement to wear a helmet, insurance, regulations on the use of cycle lanes

etc. are listed in the “Pedelec and Speed Pedelec Overview – Legal Regula-

tions in Great Britain” at the end of this chapter. Do not confuse your pedelec

with a “speed pedelec” (45kph/28mph, see item 2.).

There are now nearly all types of bicycles also available as electric bicycles. Be

sure to use your STEVENS pedelec only according to its intended use, as it may

otherwise not withstand the stress, fail and cause an accident with un fore see-

able consequences!

It is imperative that you read the chapters “Intended Use” and “Before Your

First Ride”. There you will ﬁnd detailed instructions on how to use the pedelecs

of the respective category, or contact your STEVENS dealer.

Danger:

Do not modify or manipulate (“tune”) your STEVENS pedelec. Risk of accident!

Modiﬁcations and manipulations will render the warranty void and result in a loss of

the private liability insurance cover. In this case you may possibly no longer use your

STEVENS pedelec on public roads.

STEVENS Allround pedelecs are designed for cycling exclusively on lanes and

roads with a smooth surface. Only use trails that are allowed for bicycles. For off-

road use only STEVENS Offroad pedelecs are suitable. Using STEVENS Allround

pedelecs off-road can result in crashes with unforeseeable consequences.

The starting or push assistance provides help during pushing the STEVENS

pedelec or when doing a hill start, even without pedalling, up to a speed of

6 kph / 3.7 mph. For riding on public roads these STEVENS pedelecs are not

required to be insured.

Inform yourself in the country where you intend to use your STEVENS pedelec

about the respective legal regulations.

2. Speed pedelecs are considered motor vehicles or according to EU law as “light

motorcycle with low power” (L1e) with auxiliary motor which provide assistance

to the rider even beyond a speed of 25 kph to max. 45 kph / 15 mph to max.

28 mph, as long as you continue pedalling. Without pedalling a speed pedelec

provides assistance to a maximum speed of 20 kph / 12 mph.

The legal regulations for riding a speed pedelec with regard to driving licence,

registration, type approval, requirement to wear a helmet, insurance, regulations

on the use of cycle lanes etc. are listed in the “Pedelec and Speed Pedelec

Overview – Legal Regulations in Great Britain” at the end of this chapter.

Speed pedelecs are considered motor vehicles and therefore subject to strict

regulations relating to the replacement of component and to changes.

Note:

It is recommendable that

you take out a private

liability insurance. Make

sure your insurance

grants coverage for

these kinds of damage.

Contact your insurance

agency.

Note:

The regulations and

rules for pedelecs and

speed pedelecs are be-

ing revised permanently.

Read the daily press

to keep you informed

about current legislative

changes.

Note:

Read in any case also

the BOSCH, FAZUA or

SHIMANO STePS sys-

tem instructions on the

enclosed CD-ROM.

Caution:

STEVENS pedelecs are approved for towing trailers up

to 40 kg (88.2 lbs) trailing load (towed load). STEVENS

advises you to use only trailers with brakes. For full sus-

pension STEVENS E-mountain bikes made of aluminium

the use of trailers is permitted. For full suspension

STEVENS E-mountain bikes made of carbon the use

of trailers is not permitted. If you are in doubt or if you

have any questions, contact your STEVENS dealer.
