Information

Pedelec/S-Pedelec: Your Pedelec/S-Pedelec does not

have an emergency stop button. You must activate

the brakes to stop the cycle quickly in a dangerous

situation. The maximum brake force is greater than

the propulsion force possible. This means stopping is

guaranteed at all times by pressing the brakes. Note

that the drive system does not disable automatically

after braking. Once you have nished your ride, switch

the drive system to standstill.

You can use the bicycle brakes to slow down and/or bring

your bicycle to a stop. In Germany, bicycles must have two

independent brakes: front and rear wheel brakes. These can

be actuated either by pedalling backwards (coaster brakes)

or by hand (handbrakes). If there are two brake levers on

the bicycle, the left-hand brake lever is usually for the front

brake, and the right-hand brake lever for the rear brake.

This is exactly the reverse in Australia and Great Britain,

where the brake lever for the front brake is on the right,

and that for the rear brake on the left. There are basically

three types of braking systems: hub brakes, rim brakes and

disc brakes. Each braking system can in turn be broken

down into dierent types. Rim and disc brakes can work

either mechanically – the braking force is transmitted via

a Bowden cable – or hydraulically – the braking force is

transmitted via a liquid. Hydraulic brakes usually work

using pistons which actuate the brake discs symmetrically

from both sides.

23.1 Coaster brakes

Warning

Serious falls and accidents caused by reduced braking

power.

▪Avoid using the coaster brake continuously on long

downhill stretches, as the internal brake parts can

become very hot, leading to a reduction in braking

power. On long, steep descents, mainly use the

front brake and the manually activated rear brake

if available, to allow the coaster brake to cool. An

extremely overheated coaster brake (discolouration

and grease leaks) must be checked in a specialist

workshop.

Caution

Burns from touching the brake drum.

▪As the brake drum can become very hot during

extended braking, you should wait for at least

30 minutes after your ride before touching it.

Coaster brakes are a kind of hub brake. If your bicycle is

tted with a coaster brake, you will need to step backwards

on the pedals to brake. Coaster brakes are activated to a

varying degree depending on the position of your feet and/

or the pedal arms. If the crank arms are vertical, i.e. one of

your feet is directly above the other on the pedals, you will

not be able to brake hard. Position the crank arms horizon-

tally if you want or have to be ready to brake. The braking

power is transferred from your foot over the chain to the

braking system. If you feel that the power of the coaster

brake is decreasing, please contact your dealer.

23.2 Rim brakes

Rim brakes are positioned on the fork and/or the rear frame.

When braking, the brake lining is pressed directly onto the

side of the wheel rim. The brake pads are usually made of

a rubber compound. There are mechanical side-pull brakes,

centre-pull brakes and hydraulic rim brakes, inter alia.

Front mechanical rim brakes can be tted with a braking

power modulator. This prevents the front wheel from

locking if braking too hard.
