Components: function and handling
which can be learned. While braking the weight is shifted to the front and the rear wheel is
relieved. This problem is worse when riding downhill. Therefore, in case of full braking, you
must attempt to shift your weight as far back as possible.
Warning!
Wet conditions reduce the braking performance. Expect longer braking distances in the
•
rain!
Ensure that brake pads/surfaces and rims are absolutely free of grease and oil to
•
guarantee full braking performance!
Avoid direct contact with hot-braked parts of the brake, especially the brake discs. This
•
can lead to burns!
Note
Always use the front and rear brakes together.
•
If possible, brake in intervals when riding downhill to counteract the brakes overheating.
•
After longer braking periods, do not hold the brake after stopping.
•
Avoid the brake disc or rim coming into contact with agents containing oil (e.g. care or
•
chain sprays).
Stop riding immediately if you hear unusual braking noises and consult your dealer.
•
Never exceed the maximum permissible total weight (E-Bike + rider + load + trailer).
•
Familiarise yourself with the brakes. Practice emergency braking away from traffic.
•
On long descents the brake discs can overheat. In this case, take a break to let them cool
•
down.
Warning!
Don't apply the brake lever if your bike is upside down or on its side. This can cause air
bubbles to get into the hydraulic system causing the brake to fail.
Check after every transport if the brake's pressure point feels softer than before. If it does,
slowly apply the brake a couple of times to bleed the brake system.
If the pressure point remains soft, you must not continue riding and your dealer must
bleed the brake.
Rim brakes
With rim brakes, friction causes wear on the brake pads and rims. Wear is increased by
riding in the rain. Check the brake pads regularly for wear. Visit your dealer to replace the
brake pads. The wheels of your E-Bike with rim brakes are equipped with a wear indicator
