Hub generator
The light system with a hub generator is swit-
ched on electrically. For this purpose you will
find a switch on the back of the rear light with
three labeled switch positions.With the switch
you can turn the lighting system ON, OFF or
set it to SENSOR. In the SENSOR position a
twilight sensor in the lamp turns the lighting
system on and off automatically depending on
the brightness of the environment.
The SON hub generator is highly efficient and
works silently.When the dynamo is turned off
it has a very low turning resistance.Although
you can feel the single poles of the used per-
manent magnets very distinctly when turning it
by hand the real rolling resistance is minute.
(The loss is at 15 km/h under 1 Watt).

Prop stand
For the Street Machine Gte you can use a rear
prop stand at the frame or a prop stand that
comes with the optional lowrider.
You get maximum effect with the prop stand
at the lowrider. It supports the bicycle in the
middle of the bike between the wheels.
In case no lowrider is mounted to your bicycle
you can support it with a special rear prop
stand.
The left rear dropout has mounting holes for a
PLETSCHER prop stand.The screws are put
through the dropout and secured with was-
hers and self-securing nuts.Ttightening torque
is 8-10 Nm. If you do not aply the correct
tightening torque, the screws might become
loose or break.
Before riding check that the propstand in any
position does not affect the function of other
parts.
The propstand is only suitable for parking the
bike on even, solid ground. In case of unsuita-
ble ground, luggage load or mounted fairings
we recommed to lean the bike securely against
a solid wall or pole.
Light system,
Prop stand
You switch on the hub generator light system with the integrated
switch at the front light.
Danger!
Before every ride check whether
the prop stand is lifted up to its riding posi-
tion.With a recumbent prop stands are of-
ten forgotten. In the first left turn the prop
stand can touch the ground and cause a fall!
After a fall you will have to check the prop
stand and the area where it is mounted for
damage and deformation.
