Your First Ride; Important Components And Controls - Stealth B-52 Owner's Manual

STEALTH ELECTRIC BIKES OWNER'S MANUAL

YOUR FIRST RIDE

Before exposing the bike to difficult terrain and traffic, it is extremely important that you familiarise
yourself with the response of the throttle, gears, suspension and brakes. It is recommended that you do
so in a large flat area with no obstacles, such as an empty car park.
Avoid heavy acceleration for the first 3 rides to ensure maximum overall battery life.
ALWAYS RIDE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS!

IMPORTANT COMPONENTS AND CONTROLS

BRAKING
The brakes are the most important component of the bike. If you are unsure how to set up your brakes, contact a stealth
dealer or bicycle mechanic to ensure efficient, ergonomic and safe braking.
Independent hydraulic front and rear brakes are fitted to all Stealth models. The rear brake is
controlled by left-hand brake lever and the right-hand brake lever controls front brake as
default. The brake levers can be swapped over by contacting your local Stealth dealer. The
hydraulic brakes are powerful but are not fitted with the ABS technology found in cars. It is
important to modulate your braking for maximum traction and control. This can only be done
by becoming familiar with the brakes in a wide, open area. The brakes may also need some
bedding-in before full braking power can be achieved, this is usually done with several cycles
of moderate braking to a complete stop.
