Hub generator
The light system with a hub generator is
switched on electrically. For this purpose you
will find a switch on the back of the rear light
with three labelled switch positions.With the
switch you can turn the lighting system ON,
OFF or set it to SENSOR. In the SENSOR po-
sition a twilight sensor in the lamp turns the
lighting system on and off automatically de-
pending on the brightness of the environment.
The SON hub generator is highly efficient and
works silently.When the dynamo is turned off
it has a very low turning resistance.Although
you can feel the single poles of the used per-
manent magnets very distinctly when turning it
by hand the real rolling resistance is minute.
(The loss is at 15 km/h under 1 Watt).

Prop stand
For the GrassHopper you can use a rear prop
stand from HP V
ELOTECHNIK
at the rear swing
arm.
Before riding check that the prop stand in any
position does not affect the function of other
parts.
The prop stand is only suitable for parking the
bike on even, solid ground. In case of unsuit-
able ground, luggage load or mounted fairings
we recommend to lean the bike securely
against a solid wall or pole.

Prop stand
You switch on the hub generator light system with the integrated
switch at the front light.
Danger!
Before every ride check whether
the prop stand is lifted up to its riding posi-
tion.With a recumbent, prop stands are of-
ten forgotten. In the first left turn the prop
stand can touch the ground and cause a fall!
After a fall you will have to check the prop
stand and the area where it is mounted for
damage and deformation.
Caution!
To protect the prop stand from
turning, it must be mounted with 2 screws
to the mounting plate at the rear frame. Do
not use standard prop stands with only one
screw.
