handlebars).
A wheel with more weight absorbs more brake pressure before locking, while a wheel with less weight
locks with less brake pressure. So when you apply the brakes and your weight is shifted forwards, you
have to shift your body backwards to transfer the weight back to the rear wheel. At the same time, you
must both reduce the rear wheel braking force and increase the braking force on the front wheel. This
is particularly important on downhill sections, as descents shift your weight forwards.
Two keys to effective speed control and safe stopping are controlling wheel lock-up and weight
transfer. This weight transfer is even more effective if your bike has a front fork with suspension. The
front suspension 'dips' when you brake and thus increases the effect of weight transfer (see also
'Bicycle suspension'). Practise braking and weight transfer techniques when there is no traffic or other
dangers and distractions around you.
Everything is different when you ride on uneven surfaces or in wet conditions. Stopping distance is
longer on uneven surfaces or in wet weather. The tyre's grip is reduced so that the wheels have less
cornering and braking traction and can lock up with less braking force.
Moisture or dirt on the brake pads reduces their grip. To maintain control on uneven or wet surfaces,
you need to brake more gently.

TRANSPORT

Do not transport any objects that could restrict your vision or prevent you from fully controlling the
bicycle or that could catch moving parts of the bicycle.
When transporting bicycles, there is a risk that the bicycles could tip over, slip or fall out of the means
of transport. This could result in serious injury. When transporting bicycles in vehicles or public
transport, the bicycles should be secured to prevent them from tipping over, slipping or falling out.
Use an approved, commercially available bicycle rack for vehicles to transport bicycles. If you do not
have a bicycle rack, the bicycles must be placed in the trunk, making sure that the bicycles do not rest
on the rear derailleur.
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to numerous regulations and are often considered dangerous material
by carriers. Inquire about the relevant laws and ask the carrier for authorisation before shipping or
transporting a lithium-ion battery by air.

STORAGE

If you store your battery for a longer period of time (longer than two months):
Remove the battery from the bike.
Lithium-ion batteries are best stored at a charge level of 40-60%.
charge the battery to 40-60% every 30 days during long-term storage. Determine the charge level using
the integrated charge indicator on the battery or the battery indicator on the bike. Batteries discharge
slowly if they are not used for a long time. If the battery capacity is allowed to reach a critically low
voltage, its service life and capacity will be permanently reduced.
Always disconnect your charger from the socket and the battery before storing the battery. Avoid
storing your battery in extreme temperatures, either hot or cold.
Batteries are best stored in a shady and dry place. Do not allow accumulation of condensation as this
could lead to corrosion or a short circuit.
The recommended storage temperature for lithium-ion batteries is between 0-25°C (32-77°F).
