
The best braking effect is achieved if the pedals are in
the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock position when braking. To
bridge the free travel between the riding movement
and the braking movement, it is recommendable to
pedal a little beyond the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock
position before you pedal in the opposite direction to
the direction of travel and start braking.
 Pedal in the opposite direction to the direction of
travel until the desired speed has been reached.
