The air suspension fork features air suspension and
a compression damper plus a rebound damper in
some cases.

valve (1), valve cap (2) fork lock (3), quick
release (4) and rebound damper adjuster (5) and
the assembly groups: Air suspension fork (A),
compression damper assembly group (B) and
rebound damper assembly group (C)
3.1.3
Brake system
Every S pedelec has a hydraulic brake system.
The brake fluid is in a closed hose system. If the
rider pushes the brake lever, the brake fluid
activates the brake on the wheel. The mechanical
brakes are used as an emergency stop system
and bring the
S pedelec
to a halt quickly and
safely in the event of an emergency.

Rear wheel brake disc
The brake disc is screwed permanently to the
wheel
hub
on an S pedelec. The
brake lever
is
pushed to increase brake pressure. The brake
fluid is used to transfer pressure through the
brake cables to the cylinders in the brake calliper.
The braking force is boosted by a speed reduction
and applied to the brake linings. These apply the
brake disc mechanically.
If the
brake lever
is pushed, the brake linings are
pressed against the brake disc and the wheel
movement is decelerated until it comes to a stop.
The fluid level in the hydraulic brake system can
be checked via an inspection window on the brake
lever.
