3. BIKE PREPARATION
3.3 Handlebars
Some times it is easiest to remove everything off the handlebars before reinstalling in prefered
order. The end setup of the handlebars comes down to personal preference, however you will no
longer be running a front derailleur so the shifter can be completely removed.
If your bike is set up with cable brakes*, it is advised to replace with the included levers which
incorporate cut-out switches which cut motor power when the brake is operated.
*Hydraulic brakes - For bikes with hydraulic brakes you may wish to run your existing brakes without
cut-off. Converted recommends running some form of motor cut-off for safety. We can provide
Tektro E-350 hydraulic E-bike brakes with built-in sensors or a manual cut-off switch. Sensors are
also avabilable however suitability will depend on your individual setup and brake lever design.
