The Brakes
Front & Rear Brakes
The brakes on your e-bike are Hydraulic-disc brakes. They generally provide for very fi ne stopping and con-
trol. This is a very tested and well-designed technology, but even so, the brakes will require servicing from
time to time, and may have to be adjusted for tension.
The brakes are contained within a sealed unit, and are very fi nely adjusted and fi tted.
The rear brakes are standard motor brakes.
Shock Absorbers
Your e-bike is equipped with Reverse Shock System shock absorbers. These eff ective but simple devices
absorb the energy from bumps and dips, and allow you to have a much more comfortable ride. The Reverse
Shock System is superior to normal Monoshock shock absorbers usually found on e-bikes, and provides for
a much more comfortable ride.
While they are very resilient, please note that very sharp or large shocks, such as drops from a height of 15
cm or more, can cause serious damage to your shock absorbers. Replacing them is a complex and time-con-
suming task, so do be careful when dropping from larger heights.
