WARNING: Riding with an improperly tightened seat post can allow the saddle to turn or move and cause you to
lose control and fall. Therefore:
1. Go to "How to find help for servicing your AR Ī V eBike" to ensure you know how to correctly clamp your seat post.
2. Apply the correct technique for clamping your seat post.
3. Before you ride the bike, first check that the seat post is securely clamped.
Adjusting the seat post cam action mechanism
The action of the cam squeezes the seat collar around the seat post to hold the seat post securely in place. The amount of
clamping force is controlled by the tension adjusting nut. Turning the tension adjusting nut clockwise while keeping the cam lever
from rotating increases clamping force; turning it counterclockwise while keeping the cam lever from rotating reduces clamping
force. Less than half a turn of the tension adjusting nut can make the difference between safe and unsafe clamping force.
WARNING: The full force of the cam action is needed to clamp the seat post securely. Holding the nut with one
hand and turning the lever like a wing nut with the other hand until everything is as tight as you can get it will not
clamp the seat post safely.
WARNING: If you can fully close the cam lever without wrapping your fingers around the seat post or a frame tube
for leverage, and the lever does not leave a clear imprint in the palm of your hand, the tension is insufficient. Open
the lever; turn the tension adjusting nut clockwise a quarter turn; then try again.
C. Brakes
Your bike is equipped with disc brakes which operate by squeezing a hub mounted disc between two brake pads.
WARNING:
1. Riding with improperly adjusted brakes, worn brake pads, is dangerous and can result in serious injury or death.
2. Applying brakes too hard or too suddenly can lock up a wheel, which could cause you to lose control and fall.
Sudden or excessive application of the front brake may pitch the rider over the handlebars, which may result in
serious injury or death.
3. Disc brakes (fig. 11) are extremely powerful. Take extra care in becoming familiar with these brakes and exercise
particular care when using them.
5. Disc brakes can get extremely hot with extended use. Be careful not to touch a disc brake until it has had plenty of
time to cool.
6. See the brake manufacturer’s instructions for operation and care of your brakes, and for when brake pads must be
replaced. If you do not have the manufacturer’s instructions, see your AR Ī V eBike ASP or contact the
brake manufacturer.
7. If replacing worn or damaged parts, use only manufacturer-approved genuine replacement parts.
1. Brake controls and features
It’s very important to your safety that you learn and remember which brake lever controls which brake on your bike. For the majority
of bikes, the right brake lever controls the rear brake and the left brake lever controls the front brake (this is opposite in Australia and
New Zealand); but, to check how your bike’s brakes are set up, squeeze one brake lever and look to see which brake, front or rear,
engages. Now do the same with the other brake lever.
Make sure that your hands can reach and squeeze the brake levers comfortably. If your hands are too small to operate the
levers comfortably, consult your AR
Ī V eBike ASP or contact your local bike shop before riding the bike. The lever reach may be
adjustable; or you may need a different brake lever design.
2. How brakes work
The braking action of a bicycle is a function of the friction between the braking surfaces. To make sure that you have maximum
