Disc Brakes
Your MaxFoot bike is equipped with disc brakes for maximum
reliability. Applying hand pressure to the brake levers will
engage the brake pads against the brake rotor, creating friction
and slowing down the wheel. The more hand pressure applied
to the brake lever, the faster the bike will come to a stop.
The rear brake should always be applied before and while the
front brake is applied. Applying only the front brake to slow or
stop at high speeds may result in the rider being ejected from
the saddle and continuing forward over the handlebars. It is
best to apply even pressure to both brake levers when slowing
or stopping.
Bicycles equipped with disc brakes will occasionally make a
slight scraping noise when the wheels are turning without the
brakes being applied. This is normal.
WARNING:
Disc brake rotors become hot during use. Do not
touch or come in contact with the disc rotor shortly after use.
Wet weather will require a longer distance to stop. Brake earlier
and avoid sudden stops when riding in wet conditions.
