7.5 Brakes
Your Speed Pedelec is equipped with high-quality hydraulic
disc brakes (image 27). The disc brake is characterised by
very good braking performances even under rainy weather
and other bad weather conditions. The disc brake is very
low maintenance and does not wear the rim. The brake
consists of a brake lever with a master cylinder, a hose made
of plastic, the brake calliper and the disc mounted on the
hub. The brake works with a special, non-toxic mineral oil.
While actuating the brake lever, the oil pressure is being
transmitted via the hose to the brake calliper and makes the
brake pads contact the disc.
Attention: new brake pads must be run in so that
they can achieve their optimal deceleration values. By
braking at least 30 times from approximately 30 km/h
to complete standstill, the brake pads will achieve their
maximum brake power. Break control: The right-hand
brake lever controls the rear wheel brake and the left-
hand brake lever controls the front wheel brake.
Not properly run in brakes do not reach their optimal
deceleration values and are prone to vibrations and loud squeal.
The brake pads and rotors must be regularly checked for wear.
If discs and brake pads are worn, they will need to be replaced.
In case the brake performance is getting less and you are
losing brake power or you can push the lever through to the
handlebar without any braking effect, the brake system must
be bled (purged). That and the replacement of worn brake pads
and discs should be done by an authorised dealer.
Caution! In case the brake performance is decreasing or
the system shows signs of leakage, do not continue to
ride your Speed Pedelec and go and see your local dealer
immediately.
Attention! Oil or grease on the brake pads and discs can
reduce the effect of the brake substantially. Prevent in
any case, while cleaning the bike and lubricating the
chain that oil or other liquids can contaminate the brake
pads and brake discs. Contaminated brake pads cannot
be cleaned and need to be replaced immediately. You can
clean the disc with brake cleaner or warm water and a
little detergent if necessary.
Please note! Ride more cautiously under humid and rainy
conditions because the stopping distance could be longer.
