the
first
ride
a certain speed to balance your
b a
. The higher the speed, the easier it will
be to balance. Nevertheless, you should
make your first driving attempts within a
moderate speed range.
Stopping
Keep in mind that
b a
tilts
sideways and therefore needs to be
balanced like a two wheeled bicycle. To
stabilize the upright position of your
b a
when stopping put one or both
feet from the pedals and place them
on the ground. If you stop for a long
time, it may be advantageous to block
the tilt mechanism (see section
Tilt lock
p.18). To do this, your
b a
must be
in an upright position. With the tilt lock
engaged, you no longer have to actively
balance your
b a
. However, be sure
to release the tilt lock before starting to
ride again.
Braking
Your
b a
is equipped with high
quality hydraulic disc brakes. Please
check the correct functioning of the
brakes before each ride. The two front
brakes are operated simultaneously
with the left brake lever, the rear brake
is operated with the right brake lever.
Familiarize yourself with this mapping .
Further information about the braking
system can be found in section
Brakes
p.17 and section Braking system p.29.
The braking power of
the disc brakes on your
b a
might be much
higher than you are used to from
your previous bicycles. Therefore
please carefully test the brakes of
your
b a
before the first ride!
Please note that
unfavourable ground
conditions (wetness,
slipperiness, gravel, sand, ...) as
well as high loading can significantly
increase the braking distance!
During the braking process,
the discs and callipers heat
up. Do not touch the hot
parts because this can lead to severe
burns.
Parking
To park your
b a
, lock the tilt
mechanism (see section Tilt lock p.18)
and engage the parking brake (see
section
Brakes p.17). By doing this your
b a
can neither fall over nor roll
away. If possible, put your
b a
in a
place where it is protected from rain
and weather. Secure your
b a
with
a high-quality bicycle lock to achieve the
greatest possible protection against theft.
Parking
D
In addition, remove the central
display unit from your
b a
(see
section Attach and detach the cycle
computer p.23). This prevents the use
of the electric drive by unauthorized
persons and the display unit from being
stolen.
Carrying children
C
Your
b a
is designed to carry one
or two children. In order for these to be
transported safely, the following rules
must be observed
– Always buckle up your children
with the supplied seat belt system
(see section
Buckling up of the
children p.20).
