Brake
The handbrake grip distance can be adjusted to
ensure that it can be reached more easily. The
pressure point can also be adjusted to the pedelec
rider's preferences.
6.4.9.1 Replacing brakes
Not included in price
The braking system components may only be
§
replaced with original components.
In the case of disc brake linings, the lining
compound may be adapted to the surface and
the rider's experience.
6.4.9.2 Retracting the brake linings
Disc brakes require wearing-in time. The braking
force increases over time. The braking force is
increased during break-in time. This is also the case
when the brake pads or brake discs are replaced.
1 Accelerate pedelec to 25 km/h.
2 Brake pedelec until it comes to a halt.
3 Repeat process 30 to 50 times.
The disc brake is retracted and provides
optimal braking power.

6.4.9.3 Changing the handbrake position
Having the handbrake in the correct position
prevents the rider from stretching their wrist too
far. Moreover, the brake can also be operated
without any discomfort and without changing the
handle position or releasing the handle.
Apply handbrake with the third finger phalanx in
bursts to brake gently.
The setting for the middle finger is used for
pedelec riders who brake with their middle finger
or with two fingers.
1 Position your hand on the handle in such a way
that the outer heel of the hand is flush with the
end of the handlebar.
2 Extend the index finger (about 15°).

3 Push handbrake outwards until the third finger
phalanx sits in the recessed grip.
