Operation
6.19 Brake
The motor drive force is shut off during the ride as

The drive system does not switch off when

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

6.19.2 Using the back-pedal brake

9 o'clock position.

Crash caused by brake failure
Oil or lubricant on the brake disc in a disc brake
or on the rim of a rim brake can cause the brake
to fail completely. This may cause a crash with
serious injuries.
 Never allow oil or lubricant to come into
contact with the brake disc or brake linings or
on the rim of a rim brake.

If the brake linings have come into contact with
oil or lubricant, contact specialist dealer to
have the components cleaned or replaced.
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 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.
