Aligning The Brakes; Adjusting The Brakes - Igo Elite User Manual

Aligning the brakes

Your electric bike is equipped with a disc brake system.
To properly adjust them you must first make sure that the brake disc is
properly aligned within the brake. To do this, loosen the top and bottom hex
bolts (figure 18.1) with an Allen key. Then maneuver the brake with your hand
so that the disc passes through the brake pads with minimal contact.
Once the disc rotates through the brake freely, retighten the hex bolts and
make sure that while tightening you maintain the alignment.

Adjusting the brakes

If when squeezing the brake handle the bike does not stop properly, you will
have to adjust the brakes. You can do this by loosening the hex bolt
(figure 18.2) with an Allen key. Once the bolt is loosened, lift the braking arm
so that the brake is squeezing the brake disc (figure 18.3) and spin the wheel.
Lower the brake arm in small amounts until the wheel is spinning smoothly.
Pull the brake cable tight and retighten the hex bolt.
