adjuster counterclockwise decreases the brake pressure and
stopping ability.
Small changes in the modulation adjustment can have a
significant effect upon brake pressure and stopping ability.
Whenever you adjust the modulation, adjust each caliper in
1/4 turn increments and test the brakes. Always adjust each
side of the brakes equally. If you increase the modulation on
the left caliper by 1/4 turn, you should also increase the
modulation on the right caliper by an equal amount.
SHIFTING
Your seven-speed E-Bike™ uses a derailleur drivetrain,
which consists of.
• A rear sprocket cluster, called a freewheel or cogset
• A rear derailleur
• One shifter
• One control cable
• One front sprocket called a chainring
• A drive chain
There are many different types of shifter mechanisms, each
preferred for specific applications because of its ergonomic,
performance and price characteristics. The designers of your
E-Bike™ have selected the twist-type shifter design which
will give the best results on your E-Bike™.
To shift to a higher gear, twist the shifter forward or
counterclockwise while pedaling forward. To shift to a lower
gear, twist the shifter rearward or clockwise. See Figure 18.
A downshift is a shift to a lower or slower gear, one which is
easier to pedal. An upshift is a shift to a higher or faster gear,
one which harder to pedal gear. For example, you can
downshift to a lower gear to make pedaling easier on a hill.
On the otherhand, you may upshift to a higher gear when you
wish to go faster.
