5.4.1 Special warnings for coaster brakes
WARNING
Risk of accident and injury!
If the chain jumps off, the coaster brake is immediately
ineffective! A torque arm that is not securely and cor-
rectly attached to the frame can cause a loss of function
of the coaster brake and there is a risk that the wheel will
wobble on its suspension.
f Do not brake with the coaster brake alone. Always use
another brake (handbrake) on the e-bike to prevent a
total loss of braking power in the event of the chain
suddenly coming off.
f Regularly check that the torque arm is securely and
correctly attached to the frame. Tighten loose screw
connections if necessary.
5.4.2 Operating the coaster brake
The coaster brake is the only type of brake that is
not operated with a brake lever on the handlebars,
but via the direction of rotation of the pedals (pedal-
ling backwards = braking).
If possible, always use another brake on the e-bike
in addition to the coaster brake.
