BRAKE SYSTEM
DISC BRAKES
DANGER!
Brake disc and calliper can
heat up considerably during the
braking process. This applies in
particular after frequent braking
or long descends. Do not touch
the brakes straight after braking
to prevent burns.
Maintenance of disc brakes
Regularly test the brake system's braking
performance and check for brake pad wear
and tightness of the system. Brake pads
need to be replaced if they are dirty or less
than one millimetre thick. On no account
should the carrier plate touch the brake disc.
Vapour lock in disc brakes
DANGER!
Avoid permanently braking for
a long period of time as might
be the case during long, steep
descends. Otherwise vapour
lock can occur, leading to total
failure of the brake system, which
can cause serious crashes and
injuries.

TIP!
New brake pads must be bedded in for
optimum braking performance and
low wear. To do this, accelerate the
bike to around 25 km/h and brake as
hard as possible until you come to a
complete stop. Repeat this about 30
times. The bedding-in process is com-
pleted once the manual force required
for the best possible deceleration no
longer decreases.
NOTE!
Do not pull the brake levers after
removing the wheels. This pushes
the brake pads together and makes
it difficult to re-fit the wheel. Use the
transport locks provided after remov-
ing the wheels to ensure a sufficient
gap between the brake pads.
Do not transport your E-Bike with the
wheels up. This can cause the brakes
to become ineffective.
