Moto Parilla – CARBON SUV E-BIKE
We recommend that you consult the relevant national safety organization or a reputable
cycle dealer on what the minimum recommended lighting requirements are in your
particular country or region.
We also recommend to wear bright, reflective clothing such as reflective vests, leg and arm
bands
2.5
Stopping the CARBON SUV E-BIKE
The CARBON SUV E-BIKE is equipped with front and rear hydraulic disk brakes, operated
by two levers on the handlebars (shown). Before riding, it is important to familiarize
yourself with which brake lever operates the front brake and which operates the rear
brake. Proper use of your brakes will slow and bring your CARBON SUV E-BIKE to a safe
and controlled stop.
WARNING! To slow or stop the CARBON SUV E-BIKE in normal operation, apply the brakes
appropriately. In the event that an emergency stop is required, apply the brakes
appropriately and in a safe and controlled manner until you have brought the CARBON SUV
E-BIKE to a complete stop. Do not release the brakes until it is safe to do so.
Action on brake could block the wheel so the rider must be ready at all times. Reduce
speed dramatically if street condition could make the blocking of wheel easy, in order to
help slow or stop the CARBON SUV E-BIKE in a controlled manner.
Aggressive use of the brakes may cause your CARBON SUV E-BIKE to skid, potentially
resulting in loss of control. Anticipate your need to stop and slow using appropriate
pressure on the brake levers.
2.7
Riding in Wet, Cold or Icy Conditions
Under wet, cold or icy conditions, the stopping power of your brakes and tires (as well as
the brakes of other vehicles sharing the road) is dramatically reduced. This makes it harder
to control speed and easier to lose control. It also makes skidding during turning more
likely. Ride more slowly and cautiously when in wet weather. If it is cold, near or below the
temperature when water freezes, be careful of ice on the roads which could be dangerous.
WARNING! Wet or icy conditions impair traction, braking and visibility, both for the cyclist
and for other vehicles sharing the road. The risk of an accident is dramatically increased in
wet conditions
To make sure that you can slow down and stop safely in wet conditions, ride more slowly
and apply your brakes more gradually than you would under normal, dry conditions, taking
care to anticipate your need to stop and slow to avoid any aggressive use of the brakes.
We do not recommend riding in heavy rain or standing water, but we do understand that
this is not always avoidable. If your CARBON SUV E-BIKE gets wet, clean and dry it within
10 minutes of heavy wet weather riding. See 7.2 Cleaning and Preventing Corrosion for
more information.
