The Brakes
Front Brakes
The brakes on your e-bike are drum-brakes, like those found on gas scooters and motorcycles. They generally
the brakes will require servicing from time to time, and may have to be adjusted for tension.
Unlike normal friction-grip bicycle brakes, which clamp down from the outside, the drum brakes clamp from
and reliable way to stop a vehicle.
Rear Brakes
The rear brakes on your e-bike are EABS Brakes (Electric Absorption Braking System). These provide a good
helps to reduce the weight of the e-bike and improve its performance.
The Chain and Pedals
The pedals are connected to the rear wheel. Along with the chain, they provide a human- powered “drive
train”. This is an important part of your e-bike. The pedals are not removable and should not be removed.
Shock Absorbers
-
vices absorb the energy from bumps and dips, and allow you to have a much more comfortable ride. The
Reverse Shock System is superior to normal Monoshock shock absorbers usually found on e-bikes, and pro-
vides for a much more comfortable ride.
While they are very resilient, please note that very sharp or large shocks, such as drops from a height of 15
cm or more, can cause serious damage to your shock absorbers. Replacing them is a complex and time-con-
suming task, so do be careful when dropping from larger heights.
