• Check the degree of wear of the brake pads before every ride. When riding with
strongly contaminated brake pads, the brakes may fail entirely! Danger of
accident!
• Replace the brake pads only with genuine spare parts. Always ensure that you only
DANGER
use brake pads that are suitable for the rim used (steel or aluminium). Proper
function is otherwise not ensured. Danger of accident!
• Replace the brake pads only in pairs, since the brake will otherwise not work
correctly or the brake performance will reduce. Danger of accident!
The E-bike is equipped with at least two brakes independently of each other on the front and rear
wheel. Different brake types are installed depending on model:
• V-brake-rim brake (brake lever)
• Hydraulic rim/disc brake (brake lever)
• Backpedalling brake (only for hub gear with backpedalling brake function)
Pulling the brake lever will actuate the rim brakes:
LEFT BRAKE LEVER
Front wheel brake
V-BRAKE RIM BRAKE
ADJUSTING THE BRAKE LEVER
The idle path of the brake lever is regulated by the tension of the
brake cable.
1. Release the counter-ring and then turn the setting screw
to regulate the idle path of the brake lever.
2. Hold the setting screw
until it pushes against the lever housing.
3. After setting, actuate the brake lever approx. 8–10 times
when standing in order to remove play at the brake lever and
the brake linings.
4. Adjust the idle path of the brake lever again if necessary.
EXCHANGING THE BRAKE PADS
The brake linings (also called brake pads) wear when used. There-
fore, regularly check their wear and replace them without delay, at
the latest when brake force is lost:
RIGHT BRAKE LEVER
Rear-wheel brake
and tighten the counter-ring well
