Page 64: Front Wheel
Adjust vehicle to rider 6.4.1.1 Front wheel The air chamber valve can be used to adjust the fork suspension to the rider's weight and driving style. Adjusting tyre pressure The tyre pressure determines the force required to press the fork together. If the tyre pressure is reduced, the fork slackens more and rebounds less. - Page 65 Adjust vehicle to rider Adjusting sag Sag refers to the fork's deflection under the rider's weight. If the sag is set correctly, the front wheel can maintain better contact with the ground as you ride over rough terrain. If the positive tyre pressure increases, the sag also increases.
- Page 66 Adjust vehicle to rider Setting fork lock You can finely adjust the point where the fork lock is deactivated, so that the fork responds to impact caused by uneven surfaces or obstacles. The floodgate adjuster is used to adjust this point. The floodgate adjuster is yellow and is positioned in the middle of the fork lock.

Page 91: Brakes
Operation Brakes Crash caused by incorrect use CAUTION Handling the brake improperly can lead to loss of control or crashes, which may result in injuries. Practice braking and emergency braking before the vehicle is used in public spaces. Shift your weight back and down as far as possible. Crash caused by wet conditions CAUTION The tyres may slip on wet roads. -
Page 92: Braking
Operation The drive force of the motor is shut off during the ride as soon as the rider no longer pedals. The drive system does not switch off when braking. In order to achieve optimum braking results, do not pedal while braking. -
Page 93: Suspension And Damping
Operation Suspension and damping 7.9.1 Fork When the fork lock is in the open position, the suspension system is active, thus reducing impact on the rider and the vehicle. You should therefore preferably ride with the fork lock open when on terrain. The fork can only move slightly if the suspension is locked. -
Page 94: Opening The Fork Lock
Operation 7.9.1.2 Opening the fork lock If you wish to open the front wheel suspension, push the locking lever anti-clockwise and into the opened position. 7.10 Rear frame damper 7.10.1 Activating the threshold setting The threshold or pedalling setting prevents the damper from deflecting when there are slight impact or downward forces. - Page 95 Operation damper deflects if the acting force exceeds the damper's unlocking resistance. The lock setting is optimum to maximise pedalling efficiency on flat or hilly terrain. Figure 32: Activating the threshold setting with the lever (1) Only activate the lock setting while the vehicle is stationary.
