CAUTION!

Braking power will decrease with:
Worn tyre tread, air pressure which is too low,
soiled and wet tyres.
But the ground surface can also play a
significant role in delaying the braking
effect. The braking effect will be significantly
reduced if the streets and paths are wet and
dirty, as well as on sandy or stony ground.
Dirty and wet rims and brake pads also reduce
Fig. 4.5
the braking effect when using rim brakes.
For this reason, you should always adapt
your method of riding to the environmental
conditions in order to avoid serious accidents.
Always check the efficiency of the brakes
before starting your journey and ensure that
there is sufficient brake function. The brakes
should be checked regularly by your dealer
and adjusted if required.

Back pedal brake (Fig. 4.4 - 4.6)
The back pedal brake option allows you to
brake by pedalling backwards, when used in
combination with chain gearshift (Fig. 4.5). This
option is required particularly for users with
restricted or no finger function.
The braking system can only be uncoupled for
manoeuvring (Fig. 4.6).
When riding or moving forward, use the rocker
Fig. 4.7
arm to put the system into an operational
position.
CAUTION!
Riding with the back pedalling brake
deactivated is not permitted and can lead to an
1
increased risk of accidents.
Footrest
Adjusting the footrest (Fig. 4.7 - 4.9)
The footrests can be adjusted to suit the leg
length. The adjustment can be made after
releasing the screws (1). When you adjusting
the length, you must make sure that the legs
are slightly angled and that they touch the bar
at the front. With the bike at a standstill, you
should check that when turning at the maximum
angle, the increased knee bend does not lead
to contact with the drive crank.
