• water between the brake pads and
brake disks reduces the effect of the
brake system.
The braking distance is increased. There
is a risk of an accident.
• On wet roads brake sooner to com-
pensate for the longer braking distan-
ce.
• On wet roads brake with greater care
to prevent the wheels from locking.
N
WARNING
When braking the front wheel abruptly the
rear wheel can lift up. You could be thrown
over the handlebars in the process. There
is a risk of an accident.
• Brake the e-bike with the front and
rear brake at the same time.
• Move your body’s centre of gravity to
the rear when braking abruptly.
The
ITALMOTO
e-bike is equipped with
brakes which will bring you to a standstill
quickly and safely, if required.
Disc
brakes respond more quickly than rim
brakes, in particular on wet roads
.
A disc brake builds up a high braking
effect with only minimal hand strength.
To distribute braking force to both
wheels, use both brakes at the same
time.
The pedal assistance of the electric motor
is interrupted by braking (or if you stop
pedalling).
If you are not yet familiar with the braking
effect of
disc brakes,
first carry out some
test braking manoeuvres on a high-grip
surface away from traffic.
Avoid
continuous braking. On long
downhill stretches, brake with both brakes
briefly but firmly. When you intermittent-
ly release the brakes they can cool down
