Description 3.5.4.2 Tyre suspension The tyre pressure has a great effect on ride comfort. Tyres with a high tyre pressure transmit more impacts from uneven roads to the frame and handlebars than tyres with low air pressure. Soft tyres do not deflect; they absorb smaller bumps in the road thanks to the tyre's sag and ability to deform.
Description 3.5.5 Wheel Tyre pressure The permitted pressure range is indicated on the side of the tyre. It is indicated in psi or bars. The tyre is only able to support the pedelec if there is adequate tyre pressure. The tyre pressure must be adjusted to the body weight and then checked on a regular basis.
