BEFORE FIRST USE
Your specialist dealer has fully assembled the pedelec, made all the necessary adjustments
based on your height and weight, and explained to you how to operate and use the
components.
Your pedelec is thus ready to use.
15 Familiarise yourself with the pedelec
• Practice riding your new pedelec away from road traffic before embarking on longer
rides with your pedelec and/or riding on the road.
-
Familiarise yourself with the riding characteristics of your pedelec.
-
Try the brakes by braking at a low speed initially. Once you feel confident doing this,
increase the speed and try different braking manoeuvres.
-
Shift through the different gears and familiarise yourself with the riding characteristics
of the pedelec in each gear. You should be able to shift gears in such a way that it does
not distract your attention from road traffic.
-
Make sure that the adjusted sitting position is also comfortable for longer distances
and that you are able to operate the brake lever and operating elements on the
handlebar safely and easily while riding.
• Bed-in the disc brakes, if necessary
˃ Chap. 25.4 "Bedding in disc brakes" on page 54
.
• If you wish to change the preset position of the brake levers for the front wheel or rear
wheel brake, have them repositioned by your specialist dealer.

Perform the checks described here before every ride.
• Before setting off, check that the components listed below are working properly and
are undamaged.

-
the function of the components is impaired,

when you pull on the respective brake lever.
