BRAKES
WARNING: It is very important to understand how the brakes work on the bike. If you do not use
the brakes properly you could loose control of the bike and seriously injure yourself. Diff erent
bikes can behave in diff erent ways when you brake, so it is important to learn how the bike be-
haves in diff erent situations and how hard you should press the brake levers. Read the instruc-
tions and practice riding and braking. Ask your dealer if you need more information.
The bike has two brake levers, one for the front wheel and one for the back. They are located on the
two sides of the handlebars. The right-hand brake lever controls the front brake and the left-hand
brake lever controls the back brake.
Safe braking
1.
Brake a bit sooner with the back brake (right-hand brake lever) before using the front brake
(left-hand brake lever).
2.
Press fi rmly on both brake levers. Never brake with the front brake when turning. It is espe-
cially important to remember this when making sharp turns or riding on loose surfaces.
IMPORTANT:
• If you brake too hard with the front brake the braking eff ect can be so sudden that you could be
thrown off the bike.
• The braking power is reduced on wet roads. Bike more slowly and brake earlier in wet conditions.
• Do not ride the bike if the brakes are not working properly.
