BIKE MAINTENANCE

DISC BRAKES
The mDrive is equipped with powerful hydraulic disc brakes. The brake lever mounted on
the left side of the handlebar controls the front brake and the brake lever installed on the
right side controls the rear brake.
The brakes are pre-assembled at the factory. Disc brakes will reach full power after a few
rides as the disc surface "breaks-in". This is completely normal but if you find a lack of
power it is recommended you have a certified bicycle mechanic check the function.
WARNINGS:
• Riding with poorly adjusted brakes or worn brake pads can result in serious injury
and/or death.
• Applying brakes too hard or too suddenly can lock up a wheel, which could cause
you to lose control and fall. Sudden or excessive application of the front brake may
pitch the rider over the handlebars, which may result in serious injury and/or death.

BRAKE MAINTENANCE

We recommend that any brake maintenance
is carried out by a certified bicycle mechanic.
First check that the disc sits well on the hub,
this is done by tightening the rotor bolts that
fixes the disc to the hub. The brake caliper
can be adjusted with the two bolts arrowed
below. Loosen the two bolts so the caliper
can move a little then pull and hold the
brake lever while you retighten the two bolts.
If you need to replace the brake pads or
troubleshoot the brake system you must take
your bike to a certified bicycle mechanic.
