Operation
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.
In order to achieve optimum braking results, do
not pedal while braking.

Figure 70: Front (2) and rear (1) brake lever; Shimano
brake used as an example
Push the left
brake lever for the front wheel brake
and the right lever for the rear wheel brake
until
the desired speed is reached.
Amputation due to rotating brake disc
The brake disc in disc brakes is so sharp that it
can cause serious injuries to fingers if they are
inserted into the brake disc openings.
Always keep fingers well away from the rotating
brake disc.
Crash caused by wet conditions
The
tyres
may slip on wet roads. In wet conditions
you must also expect a longer braking distance.
The braking sensation differs from the usual
sensation. This can cause loss of control or a
crash, which may result in injuries.
Ride slowly and brake in good time.
Crash caused by incorrect use
Handling the brake improperly can lead to loss of
control or crashes, which may result in injuries.
Shift your body weight backwards and down as
far as possible.
Practice braking and emergency braking before
using the pedelec in public spaces.
Never use the pedelec if you can feel no
resistance when you grip the brake handle.
Consult a specialist dealer.
Burns caused by heated brake
The brakes may become very hot during
operation. There is a risk of burns or fire in case
of contact.
Never touch the components of the brake directly
after the ride.
WARNING
!
CAUTION
!
Crash after cleaning or storage
The brake system is not designed for use on a
pedelec which is placed on its side or turned
upside down. The brake may not function
correctly as a result. This can cause a crash,
which may result in injuries.
If the pedelec is placed on its side or turned
upside down, apply the brake a couple of times
before setting off to ensure that it works as
normal.
Never use the pedelec if it no longer brakes as
normal. Consult a specialist dealer.
