rear brake, press the left brake lever to operate the front brake.
The brakes are set by the manufacturer, so unless necessary, do not interfere with the braking system
for your safety! Regularly check friction surfaces for wear, keep brake pads, calipers, and discs clean. If
the braking system is out of tune, you will need to have the brakes readjusted or contact a specialist
bike workshop.
ADJUSTMENT OF BRAKE LEVER POSITION
To control the brakes perfectly and to use them safely, you can adjust the position of the brake levers
on the handlebars:
1. Loosen the screws on the brake lever clamp.
2. Adjust the most appropriate position of the brake lever on the handlebars for perfect control. Re-
tighten the screws on the brake lever clamp.
ADJUSTING THE POSITION-DISTANCE OF THE BRAKE LEVERS FROM THE HANDLEBARS
The adjustment screw for adjusting the distance of the brake lever from the handlebars is located
inside the brake lever. The distance of the brake lever from the handlebars can be adjusted according
to the type of brakes:
• the Allen screw located inside the brake lever, or
• the adjusting screw integrated in the brake lever (the design depends on the type and manufacturer
of the brakes).
NOTICE
Pay extra attention to wet braking – your e-bike's braking distance will increase! Before every ride,
make sure your e-bike's braking system is in perfect working order.
HYDRAULIC DISC BRAKES
Your e-bike's disc brakes are set by the manufacturer and checked by your dealer, so you can use
your e-bike safely.
Turn the adjusting or Allen screw to bring the brake lever closer to the handlebars or, conversely, to
increase its distance from the handlebars.
MAINTENANCE OF DISC BRAKES
If you do not have the necessary experience and tools, we recommend you contact a professional
service. Improper maintenance of the system can reduce braking performance or cause brake failure.
BRAKE DISC
Check the condition of the brake discs regularly. Braking causes wear and tear on the disc resulting in
unwanted grooves. Replace the damaged disc with a new one.
NOTICE
It is important to adjust the brake caliper so that the brake pads come into contact with the disc only
when braking, otherwise there will be excessive wear on the brake pads, overheating of the disc and
resistance to inertia when driving.
BRAKE PADS
Braking wears out the brake pads and the braking effect gradually decreases. If the brakes are noisy
when braking, or if you notice a drop in brake performance, the brake pads may be worn and need to
be replaced. Your dealer will recommend the right type of brake pads for you.
REPLACEMENT OF BRAKE FLUIDS
If air has got into the hydraulic system of your brakes, it can cause impaired braking performance or
brake failure. It is therefore necessary to bleed the brake system or fill it with new brake fluid. Brake
fluids degrade over time and their operating characteristics deteriorate, which can result in reduced
brake performance. We therefore recommend that you change these fluids at least once a year, unless
otherwise specified by the manufacturer.
