Hand brake lever for rear wheel brake (2)
Hand brake lever for front wheel brake (1)
The brakes for the front wheel and the rear wheel
can be used independently from each other.
To stop or reduce the speed pull both hand brake
levers (1 and 2) simultaneously.
NOTE
Motor assistance is immediately interrupted when
you brake.
Braking
WARNING
The pedelec is equipped with V-brakes, which can
achieve very high braking power.
In tight curves, on sandy or greasy streets, on
wet asphalt, and on black ice you should be very
careful when using the front wheel brake to avoid
skidding the front wheel.
Please use the brake with moderation. Blocked
wheels have a lesser braking effect and can lead
to skidding and falls.
Do not brake in curves, but rather brake before
entering them!
Braking in a curve increases the risk of skidding.
NOTE
In order to be ready for "emergency situa-
tions", practise braking in places where you
will not expose yourself and others to hazardous
situations (e.g. on driving practising grounds).
