Stopping
Your e-bike has two sets of brakes, at the front and at the rear. The levers attached to the
handlebars, on the left and right, activate the brakes. Pull the levers toward you to activate
the brakes.
You can use both brakes to come to a stop more quickly, or you can use one of the brakes
to come to a gentle stop, depending on your riding needs at the moment.
When the brakes are activated, the power to the engine is automatically turned off, until
you release the brakes. This allows you to stop safely.
Safety Tips
• When you are traveling in wet weather, water may cause your brakes to function
less efficiently because it reduces friction between the brake pads and the wheels.
Take care to slow down and give yourself more room to stop or slow if necessary.
• It is a good idea to have your brakes and brake pads checked regularly. The brake
pads will eventually wear down through friction, and after significant use will have
to be replaced.
Signalling
The Horn
The e-bike has a horn. The horn button is on the left handlebar. Simply press it to activate
the horn.
Turning Signal Lights
Your e-bike has turn signal lights. The turn signal activator is on the left handlebar. Push it
left or right to activate it to indicate that you are turning in the appropriate direction, and
press the middle of the button to turn it off. The turn signals also emit a noise, to ensure
that everyone knows you are turning. This turn signal cannot be disabled without also
disabling the visual signal.
Lights
The headlight and taillight are useful features when you are riding at night or in dark areas.
They radically improve your safety in mixed traffic. The switch is located on the left handle-
bar. The lights on your e-bike consume some electricity. Keeping them on may reduce the
maximum distance you can travel on one charge by about 5 %.
