CauTION!
braking power will decrease with:
worn tyre tread, air pressure which is too
low, soiled and wet tyres.
but the ground surface can also play a sig-
nificant role in delaying the braking effect.
The braking effect will be significantly
reduced if the streets and paths are wet and
dirty, as well as on sandy or stony ground.
dirty and wet rims and brake pads also
reduce the braking effect when using rim
brakes.
For this reason, you should always adapt
your method of riding to the environmental
conditions in order to avoid serious acci-
dents.
always check the efficiency of the brakes
before starting your journey and ensure that
there is sufficient brake function. The brakes
should be checked regularly by your dealer
and adjusted if required.
back pedal brake (Fig. 4.4 - 4.6)
The back pedal brake option allows you to
brake by pedalling backwards, when used in
combination with chain gearshift (Fig. 4.5). This
option is required particularly for users with
restricted or no finger function.
The braking system can only be uncoupled for
manoeuvring (Fig. 4.6).
When riding or moving forward, use the rocker
arm to put the system into an operational posi-
tion.
CauTION!
Riding with the back pedalling brake deacti-
vated is not permitted and can lead to an in-
creased risk of accidents.

Footrest
adjusting the footrest (Fig. 4.7 - 4.9)
The footrests can be adjusted to suit the leg
length
. The adjustment can be made after releasing
the screws (1). When you adjusting the length,
you must
make sure that the legs are slightly angled and
that they touch the bar at the front. With the
bike at a standstill, you should check that when
