TO ENSURE SAFETY Brake Brake WARNING • It is important to completely understand the operation of your bicycle's brake system. Improper use of your bicycle's brake system may result in a loss of control or a fall, which could lead to severe injury. Because each bicycle may handle differently, be sure to learn the proper braking technique (including brake lever pressure and bicycle control characteristics) and operation of your bicycle.
• The motors of the motor unit cannot be repaired. • Contact Shimano for information regarding the shipment of the battery charger to South Korea and Malaysia. • Use an electric wire which still has some length to spare even when the handlebars are turned all the way to both sides. Furthermore, check that the shifting lever does not touch the bicycle frame when the handlebars are turned all the way.
