CARGO HYBRID
CARGO HYBRID
4.3 Brakes
Disc brakes
must be run in. The
full
braking power
develops only
after
the
running-in procedure
(see chapter
5.2 „Getting to know your Cargo Hybrid“
).
Your Cargo Hybrid has two independent disc
brakes on the front and rear wheel hubs.

Both disc brakes are operated with the correspon-
ding brake levers (hydraulic).

4.4 Gearshift
Depending on the model, your Cargo Hybrid has:
•
A derailleur system (of the brand
Shimano
)
or
•
a hub gear system (of the brand
Enviolo
).
4.4.1 Derailleur system (Shimano)
The derailleur system provides you with the
optimum gear for every speed and makes it easier
to cope with inclines, among other things.
The transmission ratio of the chain (= the gear)
results from on which chain ring the chain runs
at the front and on which sprocket the chain runs
at the rear.

You change the transmission ratio of the chain
(shift to a different gear) by changing the chain
ring and sprocket combination.
High transmission (= high gear):
High effort when pedalling, low cadence.
Low transmission (= low gear):
Low effort when pedalling, high cadence.
Determine the number of gears of your derailleur
system as follows:
Number of chain rings (front)
×
Number of sprockets (rear)
=
Number of gears
Example:
2 chain rings × 10 sprockets = 20 gears
