2 Pedal in the opposite direction to the direction
of travel until the desired speed has been
reached.
6.15.3 Using ABS
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
Accidents on bends and slippery ground
You are at greater risk of falling off if you use ABS
braking on bends. Tyres are more likely to skid on
slippery ground. This poses an increased risk of a
crash with serious injuries.
 Adjust your riding to the current ambient
conditions and your personal riding skills
Accidents due to extended braking distance
The ABS suppresses blocking on the front wheel.
This can sometimes cause the braking distance
to be longer. This may cause an accident with
serious injuries.
 Adjust your riding to the current ambient
conditions and your personal riding skills
 Never fool about when riding.

WARNING
!
Accident due to ABS failure
If the ABS indicator lamp is lit, the ABS function is
not active.
 Adapt riding to the circumstances.
In extreme riding situations, the ABS may not be
able to regulate until the pedelec comes to a halt.
This may cause a crash with serious injuries.

Release the front wheel brake briefly. This
allows you to brake with the ABS function again.
 Adjust your riding to the current ambient
conditions and your personal riding skills.
An ABS malfunction cannot be displayed if the
ABS indicator lamp is defective.

Check that the ABS indicator lamp lights up
when you start up the electric drive system; if
it doesn't, the indicator lamp is faulty.
Accidents due to air in the hydraulic system
Air in the brake system can mean less brake
pressure builds up, particularly when the ABS has
activated causing the brake lever to move closer
to the handlebars. This may cause an accident
with serious injuries.

Pull on the brake before each ride to check if
you can reach a clearly noticeable pressure
point and ensure that the gap between the
brake lever and handlebar grip is sufficient.
The pressure point must rise about third of the
way through the brake lever path.
 If in doubt, place the lever path adjuster in the
maximum position possible.

If any air has entered the brake system,
contact your specialist dealer.
