button for about 2-3 seconds to turn the light on or off.
Alternatively, the lighting can be switched off by shutting down the drive system (see Drive system chap-
ter).
In drive systems equipped with the TFT display or the EasyControl display, the light is automatically swit-
ched on or off by a brightness sensor.
However, you can also manually switch the lighting on/off at any time.
BRAKE
The E-bike is equipped with at least two brakes independently of each other on the front and rear
wheel. Different brake types are installed depending on model:
• V-brake-rim brake (brake lever)
• Hydraulic rim/disc brake (brake lever)
• Backpedalling brake (only for hub gear with backpedalling brake function)
Pulling the brake lever will actuate the rim brakes:
DANGER OF ACCIDENT!
• Safe handling of brakes is essential for your safety when cycling. Therefore, be­
come familiar with the brakes of your E­bike before your first ride.
• Check the brakes for function before every ride. Incorrectly set or defectively
repaired brakes may cause reduced brake output or even complete failure of the
brakes.
• The brake performance depends on many factors. It may reduce considerably,
e.g. due to the ground properties (gravel paths, loose chippings, etc.), additional
payload, downhill rides or detriment weather.
Wet ground may cause the brake distance to be approx. 60% longer than on dry
ground. Therefore adjust your cycling behaviour accordingly. Ride more slowly
and with particular care.
• Avoid sudden and strong braking to avoid slipping or blocking of the wheels.
• Have maintenance work and repairs on the brakes performed only by sufficient­
ly qualified specialists. Incorrectly set or defectively repaired brakes may cause
reduced brake output or even complete failure of the brakes.
• Replace brake components only with genuine parts, since only this can ensure
proper function.
