Braking; Chain - Raleigh PEDELEC IMPULSE EVO Notice Originale

Braking

Make sure that you can always reach the brakes comfortably and that you
are familiar with their operation and position. Note which brake lever
operates the front and rear brakes. If your pedelec is fitted with a back
pedal or coaster brake, you can operate it by pedalling backwards.
DANGER
Practise braking in a safe place before venturing into road traffic.
In some instances, the braking effect can be different or stronger
than what you are used to. If you do not take the time to familiarise
yourself with the braking effect, you could cause a serious accident.
Practise until you feel safe. Dismount if you ever feel unsafe.
Rim brakes: Avoid continual, uninterrupted
braking on long downhill stretches because
it causes the braking effect to diminish and/
or tyre damage. Brake intermittently with
intervals in between to allow the airflow to
cool the braking system.
If necessary, make regular stops to ensure

adequate cooling.
Replace the brake pads when they
reach the safe wear limit. Using worn brake pads can result in serious
injuries with fatal consequences.
