Brakes
WARNING Danger from falls and accidents
If you operate the brakes too firmly this can lock the wheels and cause the EPAC to skid or roll over.
· Please familiarise yourself with the operation of the brakes. Begin by riding slowly and operating
the brake lever gently.
· You should perform these braking exercises on level surfaces without any road traffic.
· Brake in a controlled manner and press both brake levers at the same time.
NOTE:
Disc brakes only develop their full braking power after a certain “running-in phase”. The rule of thumb is:
After 30 brief braking operations from a medium speed (approximately 25 km/h) down to a standstill the
brakes are considered to have been run in. Avoid long downhill riding for as long as your braking system has
not been run in. As soon as your braking system has been run in, the braking force at your disposal is very
strong. If you pull the brake lever too strongly, it is possible that the wheels will lock.
NOTE:
Approximately 65% of the total braking power is provided by the front wheel brake.
The maximum braking power is achieved by operating both brake levers at the same time.
1.
Pull the lever towards the handlebars to actuate the brake.
