Brake
The drive force of the motor is shut off during the
ride as soon as the rider no longer pedals. The
drive system does not switch off when braking.
Correct handling of the brake helps control the
S pedelec and prevents crashes.
In order to achieve optimum braking results, do
not pedal while braking.
Shift your body weight backwards and down as
far as possible.
Practice braking and emergency braking
before using the S pedelec in public spaces.
6.14.1 Using the brake lever
Figure 83: Front (2) and rear (1) brake lever – Shimano brake
used as an example
Pull the left-hand
brake lever
to apply the
rear
wheel brake
.
Pull the right-hand
brake lever
to apply the
front
wheel brake
.
If the brakes are applied continuously for a long
time (e.g. while riding downhill for a long time),
the fluid in the brake system may heat up. This
may create a vapour bubble. This will cause air
bubbles or any water contained in the brake
system to expand. This may suddenly make the
lever travel wider. This may cause a crash with
serious injuries.
Release the brake regularly when riding
downhill for a longer period of time.
Never use the S pedelec if the brakes don't
work properly or you can feel no resistance
when you grip the brake handle. Consult a
specialist dealer.
