6.3.1 Using the disc brakes
The rear wheel lock reacts faster than the front wheel lock when the same braking
force is applied. Depending on the model, your cargo bike is equipped with different
brake types on the front wheel and on the rear wheel.
●
In order to brake, pull the brake lever with your fingers in the direction of the
handlebar.
●
Regulate the braking effect by using different force levels on the brake lever.
●
When braking, use the rear brake first and the front brake second. Avoid using only
the front brake for abrupt stops.
●
In order to loosen the disc brake, release the brake lever. Over a short braking
distance, brake evenly with both brakes.
6.4 Adjusting the disc brakes
If brakes are not installed professionally, the brake performance may reduce, or the
brakes may fail. Let the brakes only be set up by a Raleigh Stride dealer and have the
brake adjustment explained to you by a Raleigh Stride dealer.
6.4.1 Replacing the brake pads
Incorrect or incorrectly installed brake pads may lead to malfunction; therefore the
disc brakes may not work.
●
The Raleigh Stride 2 & 3 require a higher brake power which can result in higher
wear.
●
Only use original brake pads for disc brakes.
●
When purchasing brake pads, always seek professional advice.
●
Check every now and then whether the brake pads are worn.
●
Have the brake pads replaced by a Raleigh Stride dealer.
7. Using the Enviolo Cargo stepless gear system
Familiarize yourself with the functions of the transmission before driving into road
traffic. Incorrect use of the gear can cause damage. Enviolo's continuously variable
transmission does not have classic gears or steps but is continuously variable. The
gear is located in the rear wheel hub. You can shift gears using the rotary handle
adjuster.
