If you lack experience please contact a professional - such as a bicycle repair service or a car mechanics/
mechatronics, to make the following settings.
The brakes are adjusted by the manufacturer. After a
little while, braking performance may begin to diminish.
In this case, the brakes must be readjusted.
•
On the brake levers, turn the adjusting screw until
the respective Bowden cable has the right level of
tension. Turn the nut back towards the brake lever
to lock this setting.
•
If necessary, adjust the tension of the Bowden cable on the brake shoes:
For rough adjustment (1), loosen the screw which fixes the Bowden cable in place with an Allen key
(size 5), pull the Bow- den cable tight and then tighten the screw again.
To finely adjust the brake shoes (2), remove the plastic cap and use an Allen key (size 2.5 mm) to
turn the screw clock- wise in order to reduce the gap between the brake shoe and the brake disc
(brake will respond more quickly). However, the gap must not be too small so that you can still brake
in bursts. If you turn the screw in the anticlockwise direction, the gap will be increased (brake will
respond more slowly).
•
If the brakes are difficult to activate or are sluggish in return- ing to their zero position, release the
Bowden cables from the brake levers and allow a little bicycle oil or another suitable lubricant to run
between the Bowden cable and the casing. Make sure that no oil gets onto the brake shoes as this
will considerably impair the braking response!
•
Also inspect the Bowden cables for any signs of damage. If any of the wires in the Bowden cable are
torn, have the whole Bowden cable replaced by an authorised workshop.
Adjusting the chain
The tension of the chain is set by the manufacturer. After a little while, it may need to be readjusted.
•
If the chain jumps on the sprocket and cuts out, it is too loose. This will result in among other things
a shorter range for the scooter and more rapid wear and tear on the chain.
•
If the chain makes a humming noise when you are riding, it is too tight. It could then snap. The ten-
sion of the chain is set as follows:
