Gear shift
f Pedal backwards to slow down the rear wheel.
f A stronger or more abrupt pedalling back causes
a stronger or more abrupt braking of the e-bike.
f Pedal forwards to release the braking effect or to set
the e-bike in motion.
5.4.3 Wear and maintenance
Signs of wear are usually manifested by the appea-
rance of unusual noises and a decrease in braking
efficiency.
f Regularly check that the torque arm is correctly and
securely attached to the bicycle frame.
f If unusual noises occur or the braking power decreases,
have the coaster brake checked by a bicycle dealer and
serviced if necessary.
5.4.4 Cleaning and care
According to their design (brake components pre-
dominantly installed in the rear wheel hub), no spe-
cial cleaning instructions need to be observed for
this type of brake.
5.4.5 Checking the coaster brake
f Check when the braking effect of your coaster brake
starts.
f If more than a sixth of a turn of the pedals is
required before the brakes start to work, have the
coaster brake checked and adjusted by a cycle
dealer.
6 Gear shift
You can adjust the cadence and effort via the gear
shift. The model-dependent shift mechanism of a
gear shift works on the chain or on/in the rear wheel
hub.
Basically, the following applies:
A low gear results in a large effort with a low cadence.
A high gear results in a lower effort at a high cadence.
f Read and follow the "Derailleur gear system" chapter if
your e-bike has a derailleur gear system.
or
f Read and follow the "Hub gear system" chapter if your
e-bike has a hub gear system.
