Checking the stem and handlebars
5.3.3.1
Checking the connections
1
Stand in front of the S pedelec to check
whether the handlebars, stem and fork steerer
are firmly attached to one another. Clamp the
front wheel between your legs. Grasp the
handlebar grips.
2
Try to twist the handlebars towards the front
wheel.
The stem must not move or twist.
5.3.3.2
Firm hold
1
Place your entire body weight on the
handlebars with the quick release lever closed
to check that the stem is firmly in place.
The handlebars shaft must not move
downwards in the fork steerer.
2
If the handlebars shaft should move in the fork
steerer, increase the quick release lever
tensioning. To do so, turn the knurled nut
slightly clockwise with the quick release lever
open.
3
Close the lever and check the stem is firmly in
position.
5.3.3.3
Checking the headset backlash
1
To check the handlebar headset backlash,
close the quick release lever on the stem.
2
Place the fingers of one hand on the upper
headset cup. Pull the front wheel brake with the
other hand and try to push the S pedelec
backwards and forwards.
3
The headset cup halves must not move
towards one another while you are doing this.
Note that there may be noticeable backlash
due to worn-out bearing bushes or brake lining
backlash in suspension forks and disc brakes.
