Testing the brake system
Push your Coboc e-bike forward while pulling the rear brake. If everything
is adjusted correctly the rear wheel should be blocking. If applying the
front brake, your rear wheel should leave the ground. Steering should not
rattle or have any play. The brake levers should not be pulled more than
halfway through during this test.
Checking the wheels
Check the wheels and tire pressure! Inspect the tires and rims for abrasion,
damage, tears, deformations or smaller pieces that might be pushed in
(e.g. glass fragments or nails). We advise you to use a suitable bicycle
pump with built in pressure gauge. The optimal tire pressure is indicated
on the side of the tire and may differ depending on the tire model. In case
of doubt, or if you use components other than those already built in as
standard, please refer to the tire manufacturer, to ask for the correct tire
pressure. If tire pressure is too low, there is an increased risk of having flat
tires due to rims pressing through the tire. Furthermore this might cause
sustainable damage to the rim.
If the pressure is too high, tires or rims might be damaged. In any case, wrong
tire pressure might cause crashes.
If you are not sure whether your Coboc e-bike is in technically
safe condition, do not start your ride. Let your local Coboc dealer
or a service partner check your e-bikes condition.
The minimum air pressure for your Coboc e-bike must not be less
than 2.2 bar. Driving with too little air pressure can damage the
rim.
If you use your Coboc e-bike extensively then make sure to have your
e-bike checked more regularly from your Coboc dealer or a service partner
(s. chapter Maintenance & care).
Before your ride, make sure that your battery level is high enough
for the intended journey (s. chapter Battery level).
Handling
We assume that as a Coboc e-bike user you have gathered enough basic
experience with ordinary bikes. If this is not the case, we recommend
practicing on a e-bike without motor support. Because of the strong acce-
leration and the increased maximum speed it is recommended for you to
be able to handle e-bikes very good.
Get used to your Coboc e-bike. The special driving characteristics for
Coboc e-bikes require for you to familiarize with it on different terrain.
Make sure that you got it under control before starting to use your Coboc
e-bike in public.
Operating the Coboc Electric Drive
Your Coboc e-bike has two operating modes:
"Bike off" / manual riding: You can always choose to ride your e-bike with-
out motor support. Motor support is turned off, if the five LEDs on the top
tube are not lit up. You should keep motor support turned off, if storing or
not using your Coboc e-bike.
"Bike on" / riding with motor support: Pressing the power button turns on
motor support for your Coboc e-bike. Motor support is turned on, if the
five LEDs on the top tube are lit up. In a turned on state LEDs indicate the
battery level and motor support goes up to maximum speeds of 25 km/h.
Turning off
To turn your e-bike back off, just press the power button again in "bike
on" mode. Your Coboc e-bike turns off automatically after staying unused
for more than three minutes.
