Brakes
Your E-Lux Bike is equipped with front and rear disc brakes.
1.
Pulling the left brake lever in will apply brakes to the front
wheel. Pulling the right lever in will apply brakes to the rear
wheel.
2.
Be aware that using too much front brake force can cause the
front tire to lock or slide. Too much pressure on the front
brake can also cause the rider to be thrown over the front
handlebars.
3.
Always apply pressure to the front brake gradually and use
both front and rear brakes at the same time.
4.
Occasionally the disc brakes may make a slight scraping
sound although they are not being applied. This is normal
and is no cause for alarm.
5.
When depressing the brake lever the rider should feel a good
bit of pressure pushing back and the brake lever should not
touch the handlebar. If the lever feels easy to depress or
touches the handlebar then the brakes should be adjusted by
a qualified bicycle technician before riding.
6.
Be sure to slow down when turning and always depress the
brakes slightly when turning while using the pedal assist.
