With disc brakes
(g)
you should directly get a positive braking re-
sponse. If you have to actuate the brake lever more than once
to get a positive braking response, have the CUBE EPO pedelec
checked by your CUBE dealer.
The brake pads of rim brakes must hit the rim evenly with their
entire surface without touching the tyre during braking or in
open condition or in between.
For more information see chapter
“Check the brakes”
of your
general CUBE handbook and the enclosed operating instructions.
9. Let your CUBE EPO pedelec bounce on the ground from a small
height. If there is any rattling, see where it comes from. Check the
bearings, the bolts
(h)
and the proper seat of the battery, if neces-
sary.
10. If you want to ride on public roads, make sure your CUBE EPO
pedelec is equipped according to the regulations of your country.
Riding without lights and reflectors in dark or dim conditions is
very dangerous, because you will be seen too late or not at all by
other road users.
6. Are the tyres in good condition and do they have sufficient pres-
sure? The minimum and maximum pressure (in bar or PSI) is indi-
cated on the tyre side
(e)
.
For more information see chapter
“Check the wheels”
of your
general CUBE handbook and the enclosed operating instructions.
7. Spin the wheels to check whether the rims are true. If you have
disc brakes, watch the gap between frame and rim or tyre and,
if you have rim brakes, between brake pad and rim. Untrue rims
can be an indication of tyres with ruptured sides or broken axles
or spokes.
For more information see chapter
“Check the wheels”
of your
general CUBE handbook and the enclosed operating instructions.
8. Test the brakes in stationary by firmly pulling the brake levers to-
wards the handlebars
(f)
. Make sure you cannot pull the brake
levers all the way to the handlebars and check the hydraulic brake
cables for leaks. Check the thickness of the brake pads, as well.
