Brake

WARNING
!
Crash caused by brake failure
Oil or lubricant on the brake disc in a disc brake
or on the rim of a rim brake can cause the brake
to fail completely. This may cause a crash with
serious injuries.
 Never allow oil or lubricant to come into
contact with the brake disc or brake linings or
on the rim of a rim brake.
 If the brake linings have come into contact with
oil or lubricant, contact a dealer or a workshop
to have the components cleaned or replaced.
If the brakes are applied continuously for a long
time (e.g. while riding downhill for a long time),
the fluid in the brake system may heat up. This
may create a vapour bubble. This will cause air
bubbles or any water contained in the brake
system to expand. This may suddenly make the
lever travel wider. This may cause a crash with
serious injuries.
 Release the brake regularly when riding
downhill for a longer period of time.
Amputation due to rotating brake disc
The brake disc in disc brakes is so sharp that it
can cause serious injuries to fingers if they are
inserted into the brake disc openings.
 Always keep fingers well away from the
rotating brake discs.
CAUTION
!
Burns caused by heated brake
The brakes may become very hot during
operation. There is a risk of burns or fire in case
of contact.
 Never touch the components of the brake
directly after the ride.

CAUTION
!
Crash caused by wet conditions
The tyres may slip on wet roads. In wet conditions
you must also expect a longer braking distance.
The braking sensation differs from the usual
sensation. This can cause loss of control or a
crash, which may result in injuries.
 Ride slowly and brake in good time.
Crash caused by incorrect use
Handling the brake improperly can lead to loss of
control or crashes, which may result in injuries.
 Shift your body weight backwards and down as
far as possible.
 Practice braking and emergency braking
before using the pedelec in public spaces.
 Never use the pedelec if you can feel no
resistance when you grip the brake handle.
Consult a specialist dealer.
Crash after cleaning or storage
The brake system is not designed for use on a
pedelec which is placed on its side or turned
upside down. The brake may not function
correctly as a result. This can cause a crash,
which may result in injuries.
 If the pedelec is placed on its side or turned
upside down, apply the brake a couple of times
before setting off to ensure that it works as
normal.
 Never use the pedelec if the brake does not
work properly. Consult a specialist dealer.
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.
