3.h - Checking the brakes
Heavy fall hazard Faulty brakes
can always result in hazardous
riding conditions, falls and acci-
dents. A brake malfunction may
endanger the life of the rider.
- Take great care when checking you braking
system.
If you observe any defects, or in case of doubt,
do not use your bicycle, and contact the ven-
dor or a qualified technician
- While stationary, squeeze both brake levers as
far as they will go. The minimum distance be-
tween the brake lever and the handlebar grip
must be at least 10 mm (fig. “18“).
Attempt to move the bicycle forwards or back-
wards; both wheels must remain blocked (fig.
“19“).
- Using your hands, pull the brake callipers in
every direction. It should not be possible to
move the brake callipers
Ensure that the brake disks are kept clean at all
times.
The presence of oil and/or grease
on the brake disks may reduce
braking efficiency resulting in
hazardous riding conditions,
falls and accidents.
- While stationary, operate the brake lever re-
peatedly, holding it in the operated position.
The compression point should not change.
- Visually inspect the braking system, starting
with the lever and checking the cables and
brakes. Make sure there are no hydraulic fluid
leaks.
- Check the brake disk for signs of damage. It
should be free from notches, breakages, deep
scratches and other mechanical damage.
- Raise the front wheel, followed by the rear
wheel, and rotate them by hand. The brake disk
must rotate freely.
3.i - Checking the chain and the crank
mountings
- This check must be carried out by two people:
the first raises the rear wheel so that it is not
in contact with the ground, while the second
rotates the right hand pedal crank clockwise.
Observing the bicycle from above, check that
the crown is aligned with the sprocket block.
Both the crown and the sprockets must be
completely free from eccentricity.
- Check for the presence of foreign bodies, re-
moving any that you may find.
- Check the chain for signs of damage. Make
sure that the chain is completely free from any
damage caused by such elements as curved
chain plates, protruding chain pins etc., or any
jammed or blocked chain links.
- Check that the crown is fixed securely to the
right hand crank, and that there is no play.
3.l - Checking the electric motor
A faulty or damaged electric
drive system may cause a short
circuit, resulting in a fire hazard.
- Visually inspect the electrical cables, making
sure that they are undamaged and installed
correctly.
- Do not switch the electrical control unit on un-
til you have completed all the other checks.
- Pay attention to any error messages that may
appear on the display.
