Warning:
The electric motor on your bike is very powerful and if you set off in high
assist mode may cause the front wheel to spin. This is the same on any
motorized vehicle. We therefore highly recommend that you always start
off with the bike set to the lowest level of assistance and only use a small
amount of throttle until you are moving forwards at walking pace.

Throttle

No throttle is available in this bike.
IMPORTANT Make sure your handle bar grips are always intact and in good condition.
Uncovered handlebar tubes can be very dangerous.

Brakes
14.1
Front and Rear: V brake
14.2
The brakes on your Wisper bike are fitted with cut outs which are required by law.
This means that when you pull on either the back or front brake lever the motor
immediately stops working.

Full details of how to adjust and maintain your brakes:
Once a month, inspect brake pads for wear. If the grooves in the braking surface
are less than 2 mm deep, replace the pads.
V brake:
14.3.1. Use 5mm Allen key to loosen bolt A,
then take the cable out. Use 5mm Allen
key to loosen bolts C (right & left), then
take the spacers and washers out
14.3.2. Install new brake pads, then with both
pads pressed against the wheel rim,
ensure that distance B (in the diagram)
does not exceed 65mm. To decrease
distance B, exchange wide & narrow
spacers on each brake pad. Before finally
tightening brake pads, make sure they are aligned correctly on the rim, and
there is a gap of 1mm between the top of the rim and the top of the pad.
Hold each pad against the rim (one at a time) & tighten bolt C. Finally
tighten to 6-8N.M
14.3.3. Insert cable into bolt A, slot cable guide pipe into holder and fit protector
over the guide pipe end. Set cable in bolt A so that combined
pad/rim clearance (the gaps from left pad to left rim surface and from right
pad to right rim surface) is 2mm, then tighten "A" bolt. Finally tighten to
6-8N.M.
