RIDING INSTRUCTIONS

Braking

Braking

The front brake and rear brake are operated 
independently  from  each  other. The  front 
brake is operated via the handbrake lever 
(1) on the handlebars, and the rear brake is 
operated by stepping on the footbrake lever 
(2) with the right foot.

When  stopping  or  slowing  down,  release 
the throttle gas and operate 

both

 brakes 

at the same time. 
On tight curves, sandy / dirty streets, wet 
asphalt and icy roads, use the front brake 
carefully: if the front wheel locks, the bike 
will slide sideways.

Brake with care. Locked wheels do not have 
much braking effect and can lead to skid-
ding / crashing. In principle, do not brake 
on a curve, but before the curve.
Braking on a curve increases the danger 
of sliding.
