To adjust the brakes:
1.
With one hand, depress the brake calliper using
your thumb and forefinger.
2.
With the other hand, loosen the locknut (Fig. 12)
of the tension screw on the brake line.
3.
Turn the tension screw counter clockwise to
tighten the brake.
4.
Tighten cable freeplay until the front wheel stops
turning freely and turn tension screw clockwise
a quarter turn. The front wheel should turn freely
now.
5.
Turn the locknut clockwise on the tension screw
to secure the tension screw. (DO NOT turn the
tension screw!)
6.
Once there is no more room for adjustment, the
tension screw needs to be turned in all the way.
The cable (Fig. 13) then needs to be pulled
through the grub screw and be fastened. The
freeplay can then again be taken up by the
tension screw.

BRAKING SYSTEM
The EVO R Powerboard uses both a floating front wheel disc/calliper system activated
by a hand lever on the handlebar.Familiarize yourself with the braking system before
use. The front brake is activated by squeezing the BRAKE LEVER with your left hand.
Make sure to release the GAS LEVER when engaging the brakes.
Practise braking on a smooth, dry surface to get used to the feel of the braking system.
Braking distance is affected by wet conditions and loose and uneven riding surfaces.
Adjusting the Brakes
The brakes on the EVO R Powerboard should come fully adjusted from the factory.
However, it is important to adjust the brake from time to time.
Squeaky Brakes
The brakes may squeak before they are driven in. This is normal and will not affect
the function or performance of the brakes. With continued use, the squeak should
go away.
TYRES AND WHEELS
The EVO R Powerboard uses an identical rim and tyre assembly on the front and rear
wheels, which means that the tyres can be rotated. The wheels are actually two wheel
halves (split rim) bolted together to make it easier to remove and replace the tyre and
tube.
Always make sure that the tyre is deflated before opening the bolts.
