Risk of accident
Always be prepared to brake.
Riding situations for deceler-
ation
Whenever you know that you
are about to decelerate as you
ride, you can make use of the
deceleration phase for energy re-
covery. The following are typical
riding situations suitable for use
for this purpose:
Deceleration on a descent
Deceleration approaching a red
traffic light
Avoid late or sharp braking. In-
stead, make use of the energy
recovery function to slow the
vehicle.
SAIL
The electric drive enables you to
coast without energy consump-
tion and energy recovery. This is
the SAIL mode. Thinking ahead
as you ride will help reduce en-
ergy consumption and extend
the vehicle's range. No energy
is recovered when the vehicle is
coasting in SAIL mode.
It is a good idea to select SAIL
mode when you are on a stretch
of road that will not require you
to brake. The following are typ-
ical riding situations suitable for
use for this purpose.
Riding situations for SAIL
mode
Coasting on a straight descent
free of obstructions
Coasting to a slower speed or
stop on a stretch of road free
of obstructions

Brake pads
New brake pads have to bed
down before they can achieve
their optimum friction levels. You
can compensate for this initial re-
duction in braking efficiency by
exerting greater pressure on the
levers.
WARNING
New brake pads
Longer stopping distance, risk of
accident
Apply the brakes in good
time.
