3) Tyres
Your WAYSCRAL bike is fitted with 26” tyres. Check the tyre pressures regularly.
Riding with insufficiently inflated or over-inflated tyres can adversely affect performance, cause
premature wear, result in damage to the rim, reduce battery life or increase the risk of accidents.
If a significant wear or a tear is visible on one of the tyres, replace it before using the bike.
4) Brakes
Before to each use, ensure the front and rear brakes are in perfect working order. The right handle
activates your rear brake, while the left handle activates the front brake. It is recommended to distribute
your braking force to 60/40 on average between the front and the rear. The brake lever must not come
into contact with the handlebar and the sheaths must not be bent at a sharp angle so that the cables slide
with minimal friction. Damages, frayed or rusty cables must be replaced immediately. Your WAYSCRAL
bike is equipped with V-Brake brakes on the front and rear wheels.
Warning: In case of rain or wet weather, braking distances are extended.
V-Brake brakes
The jaws must close properly on the edge of the rims. The brake pads must be at an equal distance from
the rim (approx. 3mm). The condition of the rim contributes greatly to the effectiveness of braking, so it
is advisable to clean it regularly.
You should be able to achieve maximum braking power without the brake levers touching the handles.
If this is not the case, your brakes must be adjusted.
- A nut and locknut system allows you to adjust the braking force that will vary over time depending on
the wear of the brake pads.
- The Phillips screw with spring will allow you to compensate for the wear of the brake pads and ensure
the correct position of the brakes on both sides of the rim. The brake pads are standard, replace them
as soon as the wear indicator is reached.
Changing the brake pads
Use a standard hex wrench. Once unscrewed, the brake pads can be easily removed. Clean the rim
sides before installing the new brake pads. If your rim is worn out or damaged, replace it in order to avoid
deterioration of the new brake pads. When installing new brake pads, pay attention as certain brake
pads need to be set up in a specific direction in relation to the direction of travel of the wheel. If this is the
case, it will generally be signalled on the exterior of the brake pad, by means of a small arrow. In the
event that the brake pads are asymmetric, - that is, that the fastening stud is not midway down the length
of the pad – they must be set up in such a way that the longer section is facing the back of the fork.
Adjusting the brake pads
Loosen the brake caliper cable in order to install the brake pads. They must be parallel to the rim and at
a distance of around one to three millimetres from it. They should under no circumstances touch the
tyres. If the brake pads are too far from the rim, the braking force will be decreased. If, on the other hand,
they are too close or against the wheel, the pads will wear out rapidly and may in some cases cause a
blockage of the wheel. Do not forget that the new brake pads must be worn in. Wearing in can be
performed by riding for a few minutes and operating the brakes, alternating between abrupt stops and
light braking. Verify once more the alignment of the brake pads, and if they have not moved, you may set
off riding.
Headlight
Attach the headlight bracket to the handlebar, as close as possible to
the centre with the supplied clip. Insert the headlight on the handlebar
by pushing firmly. To insert the batteries, the headlight can be opened
by applying pressure on the transparent oval piece of plastic located
on the headlight. Insert the two batteries (LR 6 AA), observing the
correct polarity. The headlight is turned on and off by moving the grey
switch.
Taillight
Insert the two batteries (LR 6 AA), observing the correct polarity.
The taillight is turned on and off by moving the small switch located on
the side of the light.
Wearing a helmet
For safe operation, it is strongly advised to wear a helmet.
It guarantees a reduction in head trauma in the event of a fall.
Wearing helmets is compulsory for children under the age of 12 as drivers or passengers.
For more information, enquire from your reseller.
Bell
A bell is installed on your handlebars. It will allow you to be heard from a distance of 50m.
The bell is a safety equipment of your bike, it must be present on your handlebars.
2) Adjusting the seat and the handlebars
It is important to adapt the settings of your bike to your
body type.
Seat
Loosen the seat post’s quick-release mechanism to
adjust the height of the seat on the frame. Adjust the
height and tighten the seat post clamp.
To check the correct height of the seat, you must be
seated with your legs outstretched and your heel resting
on the pedal (fig. A). When pedalling, the knee should be
slightly bent when the foot reaches the lowest
position(fig. B).
When adjusting the seat to its lowest position, make sure
that it does not touch any part of the bike, such as the
protective cover of the battery. Similarly, make sure you
don’t exceed the minimum insertion mark on the seat
tube. This insertion mark must never be visible when
using the bike. A child seat can be set up on your bike if
the seat's springs are protected.
Warning: In order to prevent entrapment of the child’s
fingers, do not set up an infant carrier on a seat with
unprotected springs.
Handlebars
The handlebars of your bike can be adjusted both in height and tilt.
Your bike is equipped with a so-called “quill” stem; you may adjust the height by either inserting
into or pulling out the stem from the head tube.
To adjust the handlebar height, loosen the clamping screw with an Allen hex wrench and raise
the stem to the desired height (figure 1).
Be careful not to exceed the maximum insertion mark of the stem above the headset (figure 2).
Tighten the quill stem bolt, ensuring the quill is in the correct position.
To adjust the handlebar incline, loosen the front screw with an Allen hex wrench (figure 3).
