The Brakes

Front Brakes

The brakes on your e-bike are drum-brakes, like those found on gas scooters and motorcycles. They generally

provide for very  ne stopping and control. This is a very tested and well-designed technology, but even so,

the brakes will require servicing from time to time, and may have to be adjusted for tension.

Unlike normal friction-grip bicycle brakes, which clamp down from the outside, the drum brakes clamp from

the inside. When the brakes are activated, tension increases and the clamps engage. This is a very e ective

and reliable way to stop a vehicle.

The brakes are contained within a sealed unit, and are very  nely adjusted and  tted.

Rear Brakes

The rear brakes on your e-bike are EABS Brakes (Electric Absorption Braking System). These provide a good

friction-grip when they are activated. They signi cantly less than standard drum brakes. Using these brakes

helps to reduce the weight of the e-bike and improve its performance.

The Chain and Pedals

The pedals are connected to the rear wheel. Along with the chain, they provide a human- powered “drive

train”. This is an important part of your e-bike. The pedals are not removable and should not be removed.

Shock Absorbers

Your e-bike is equipped with Reverse Shock System shock absorbers. These e ective but simple devices

absorb the energy from bumps and dips, and allow you to have a much more comfortable ride. The Reverse

Shock System is superior to normal Monoshock shock absorbers usually found on e-bikes, and provides for

a much more comfortable ride.

While they are very resilient, please note that very sharp or large shocks, such as drops from a height of 15

cm or more, can cause serious damage to your shock absorbers. Replacing them is a complex and time-con-

suming task, so do be careful when dropping from larger heights.
