If your bike is equipped with disc brakes, you can prevent brake squeal by properly
“embedding” the brakes. It is important to do this when the brake pads are new.
1.
Select an area in which to ride that allows you to reach a moderate speed safely.
2.
Accelerate to a moderate speed and apply the brakes evenly, slowing the bike to
a walking pace. Do NOT come to a complete stop. Repeat this acceleration and
braking sequence 20 times. Braking power will increase during this process.
3.
Next, accelerate to a slightly higher speed and apply the brakes, slowing to a
walking pace. Again, do not come to a complete stop. Repeat this sequence 10
times.
4. Allow the brakes to fully cool before riding again.
After you complete this “embedding” process, the brakes should operate at full power
without noise.
A NOTE ABOUT DISC BRAKES
Multiple levels of power assist are provided by the motor. The level of assist provided
at any given time can be adjusted using the display panel on the handlebars.
A sensor at the crank activates the motor when the pedals have travelled about half
of a turn of the crank. The motor continues to run at the preselected level as long
as the crank continues to turn as the rider pedals. When first using the power-assist
mode, we recommend you start off with a low level of assist until you get used to the
power function and the bike in general.
The throttle is on the right side of the handlebars and is actuated by depressing
the lever. When the bike is powered on, pressing the throttle provides power to the
PEDAL-ASSIST, THROTTLE, AND STOPPING
