Note:
In the UK, speed
pedelecs must be ridden
on the road. Do not cycle
on cycle paths.
Danger:
Be aware that the
brakes of your STEVENS
pedelec are always
more effective than the
drive. If you will face any
problems with your drive
(e.g. because it pushes
you forward in front of a
bend), slow down your
STEVENS speed pedelec
carefully.
Danger:
Pulling the brake lever
of the rear brake stops
the motor – emergency
stop!
Riding a STEVENS Speed Pedelec – Special Features
Basically, a speed pedelec is a pedelec, which is only clearly faster. Be sure to
read chapter “Riding a STEVENS Pedelec – Special Features” completely prior to
reading this chapter. Keep in mind that all tips and warnings given in the mentioned
chapter apply all the more and with still greater importance to speed pedelecs.
Practise the handling of the still more powerful and faster speed pedelec and always
ride with foresight.
In contrast to pedelecs speed pedelecs are classified as e-bikes and thus as
motor vehicles (class L1e). For the UK that means that speed pedelecs must be
equipped as follows:
- Besides the typical bicycle components they must be fitted with a rear view
mirror.
- The speed pedelecs need to be registered, licensed, taxed and insured and
require an MOT certificate or an EU type approval.
- The tyres must have a minimum tread depth of 1.0 mm, just like motor vehicle
tyres. Every tyre worn down to this minimum depth must be replaced by an
identical one; otherwise this will void the operating licence.
Inform yourself in the country where you intend to use your speed pedelec about
the regulations of
- using cycle lanes and paths within built-up areas
- using lanes that are marked with a road sign allowing access for mopeds
- using one-way streets in the opposite direction, even when they are allowed to
bicycles
- cycling through pedestrian zones, even when they are allowed to bicycles
- using bicycle parking facilities
- using forest trails
- using your STEVENS speed pedelec on lanes which are closed to motor vehicles,
motorcycles and mopeds
- using your STEVENS speed pedelec on public roads and on private premises, if
authorised by the owner
Danger:
If a component needs to be replaced, make it a rule to only use original spare
parts. Wearing parts of other manufacturers, e.g. brake pads or tyres that are not
of identical size, may cause harm to the safety of your pedelec. Risk of accident! In
the case of speed pedelecs be sure to only assemble original spare parts, otherwise
the registration (MOT certificate in the UK) and as a consequence the insurance
cover will expire. Read the respective instructions in the BOSCH or SHIMANO system
instructions on the enclosed CD-ROM.
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.
Towing child trailers is not permitted. In the UK, mounting and using child seats
is also forbidden. Check in the bike card and in the country where you use your
STEVENS speed pedelec, whether it may be fitted with a child seat and have yourself
informed by your STEVENS dealer.
When riding STEVENS speed pedelecs wearing a suitable cycle helmet (crash
helmet in the UK) is compulsory.
Transport of the STEVENS Pedelec
By Car
STEVENS pedelecs can be transported like conventional bicycles outside or
inside the car. Always make sure the pedelec is securely fastened outside or inside
the car and check the fastenings regularly. In addition, you should always remove
the battery from the pedelec prior to fastening it on the car roof. Stow the battery in
its original cardboard box (from your STEVENS dealer) and the possibly removable
display unit inside the car and secure it appropriately to avoid any damage during
transport.
For more information read chapter “Bicycle Transport by Car” of your general
STEVENS user manual on the enclosed CD-ROM.
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:
Before transporting several STEVENS pedelecs with a bicycle rack on the car roof,
inform you about the maximum load capacity of the bicycle rack. Keep in mind that
the weight of a pedelec is higher than the weight of a bicycle without drive. Maybe
you can only transport one or two STEVENS pedelecs instead of three bicycles
without drive.
Caution:
Make sure to remove all movable and loose parts and above all the rechargeable
battery and the drive HMI from your STEVENS pedelec before transporting it inside or
outside the car. If you transport your STEVENS pedelec without battery on a bicycle
rack, protect the connections against water, moisture and dirt.
Danger:
For your own safety, al-
ways ride your STEVENS
speed pedelec with the
light switched on, wear
bright clothing as well as
a suitable helmet (crash
helmet in the UK) and
glasses.
