Changing Brake mode When the bike has been activated, press the lower button on the display to change brake mode. You will always change the brake mode, starting from “Mode 1” to “Mode 2” to “Mode 3” to “Mode C” and back to “Mode 1” again, one press at a time.

Brake modes The bike has 4 different brake modes (1,2,3 & C). 3 pre-configured modes ranging from a freewheel experience that keeps you rolling after you release the throttle, to a harder motor brake that gently slows you down as you release the throttle.

Never ride the bike above your comfort level and always ride according to your personal riding skills. We always recommend a new CAKE rider to start with the first mode to get used to the bike and the differences between an electric motor and an internal combustion engine.
