BRAKE SYSTEM
Your Lil’Buddy is equipped with hydraulic brake discs for a fast and safe stop-
ping action. Use both brakes simultaneously for an optimal and safe braking.
The left brake lever has an effect on the front wheel brake, the right brake
lever has an effect on the rear wheel brake.
The brake system is provided with a fully automated lining compensation.
This offsets the wear of the brake pads, while the brake pressure point re-
mains equal.
The front wheel brake has a stronger delay effect than the rear
wheel brake. Exercise the purposeful use of the front wheel brake,
so that you become familiar with its force.
If you force too much the front wheel brake, a hazard of tipping over
exists. Your rear wheel might lift and have you fall over the handlebar.
-> Pull a little less at the left brake lever, or fully release the brake
lever, when you notice that the rear wheel is lifted.
After braking, specially after long rides down the hill, the brake discs,
brake calliper and quick release and axis nuts can become very hot.
-> Do not touch the brake discs after intense braking action. You
could burn yourself.

KICKSTAND
When manipulating your side stand, observe the following:
Riding with unfolded side stand may lead to falling. Moving the
Pedelec backwards with an unfolded side stand may lead to the
clamping of the stand onto the crank.
-> Fold in the stand before starting the ride.
If you sit on the Pedelec while the sides stand is folded out, it may fail.
-> Do not sit on the vehicle if the side stand is folded out.

BRAKE LEVER
You can adjust the brake lever position on the handlebar, along with the brake
lever angle and lever width.
5.1.1.
ADJUSTING BRAKE LEVER POSITION
For a firm holding onto the handlebars when braking, take the brake lever by
your index and middle finger.
To achieve this position, eventually move the lever sidewards, so that both
fingers can grip the brake lever as shown in the picture.
You can move the brake grip on the handlebar, by loosening the hexagon
socket screw on the handlebar clip. If required,
first use an appropriate Allen wrench for the
loosening and shifting of the Bosch operating
unit or gear unit.
Once you have found the correct position,
tighten the grips just as much as to allow their
rotation.
In the next step, adjust the brake grip angle.
