5. Disc brakes can get extremely hot with extended use. Be careful not to touch a disc
brake until it has had plenty of time to cool.
6. See the brake manufacturer’s instructions for operation and care of your brakes,
and for when brake pads must be replaced. If you do not have the manufacturer’s
instructions, see your dealer, or contact the brake manufacturer.
7. If replacing worn or damaged parts, use only manufacturer-approved genuine
replacement parts.
1. Brake controls and features
It’s very important to your safety that you learn and remember which brake lever controls which
brake on your Ebike. Traditionally, in the U.S. the right brake lever controls the rear brake, and
the left brake lever controls the front brake; but, to check how your Ebikes brakes are set up,
squeeze one brake lever, and look to see which brake, front or rear, engages.
Now do the same with the other brake lever.
Make sure that your hands can reach and squeeze the brake levers comfortably. If your hands
are too small to operate the levers comfortably, consult your dealer before riding the Ebike.
The lever reach may be adjustable; or you may need a different brake lever design.
Most rim brakes have some form of quick-release mechanism to allow the brake pads to clear
the tire when a wheel is removed or reinstalled. When the brake quick release is in the open
position, the brakes are inoperative. Please contact

or call at
1-(877)-755-2453(BIKE)
or ask your dealer for all service to make sure that you understand the
way the brake quick release works on your Ebike (see figs. 12, 13. 14 & 15) and check each time
to make sure both brakes work correctly before you get on the Ebike.
