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.
