Operation
This chapter describes in detail how to
operate and use the various parts of your
b a

Brakes
b a
is equipped with high quality
hydraulic disc brakes on all three wheels.
The right and left front disc brakes are
operated together with the brake lever
on the left hand side of the handlebar
(see fig. 1, p. 17). The front disc brakes
have a locking function. To activate

the parking brake pull the brake lever
1 as far as possible to the handlebars.
Then pull the locking lever 2 outwards.
Check that the front wheels are actually
locked by pushing your
b a
forward
and backward.
Always activate the parking
brake when parking your
b a
. Otherwise, it might
unintentionally roll away on sloping
ground and subsequently cause
accidents and damage.
To release the parking brake, first pull the
brake lever 1 as far as possible to the
handlebar. This relieves the locking lever
2 so that it can be pushed back inwards
with relatively little force.
The rear disc brake is operated with the
brake lever on the right hand side of the
handlebar.
The most powerful braking
effect is achieved by the
front brakes. For this
reason the front brakes should
be use with preference! However,
avoid locking up the front wheels
as this will make you loose control
over your
b a
and may lead to
accidents.
On very long steep
descents with high load,
your brakes can overheat
due to the permanently applied high
braking power. Overheating can lead
to a sudden total of the brakes. To
prevent overheating, do not let the
brakes grind permanently, but brake
in intervals. Make stopovers to allow
the brakes to cool down.
