Brakes

To prevent any surprises while driving, please familiarize
yourself which side brake lever is for which brake (front
or rear wheel). It is important to never use any grease or
cleaning agents on braking pads or rotors. Grease and other
contaminants can cause noise while braking and diminish
braking function.
Hydraulic Disc brakes
Disc brakes combine high braking power with a high level
of control. The brake pads of the hydraulic disc brakes can
be adjusted by slightly loosening the Allen bolts of the
caliper mount. Center the caliper while pulling the brake
levers firmly. Tighten the screws firmly when you are done
adjusting.

Noise complaints when braking
Brakes can resonate while braking. When new braking pads
are installed, it is important to properly bed in braking
pads. This will reduce noise complaints and also increase
the durability of your pads greatly.

To bed in new braking pads, find a safe environment and
built up some speed (around 25 km/h). Now brake a little
bit for 5-6 seconds, just enough that the pads are in contact
with the rotor. Then pull the brake levers more firmly and
slow down to about 5 km/h. With the brake levers still
slightly pulled, speed up again to 25 km/h. Repeat 10-15
times to fully bed in the new pads. Remember to not fully
brake to standstill at once without releasing the brake
levers, this might cause damage to the rotor. Bed in the
front and rear pads separately.

Belt drive

Gates CDX belt drive
The Performance MN380 & the MA11 speed are equipped
with belt drive. Belt drive is very suitable for the powerful
e-bike engines such as the Brose middle engine. The belt is
noiseless during use, and easy to maintain because tension
is maintained longer.
Moreover, you do not need to lubricate the belt, which
makes it a lot cleaner than a chain, and therefore a chain
guard is not necessary for a belt drive. If required, you
can clean the belt with water. Do not use a high-pressure
cleaner, because this could cause damage to the other
bicycle parts.
