standard, the right brake lever applies to the rear brake and the left brake
lever applies to the front brake. Note that the braking distance increases
and that the tires might block faster if the ground is wet.
Make sure that the screws for your saddle, handlebar and brakes are
tightened enough (s. table Tightening torque). In case of doubt you can
try twisting saddle, handlebar or brakes. Nothing should move. Also make
sure to regularly check all other screw ttings and ensure yourself that they
are tightened correctly. Make sure that frame and fork are not damaged.
Check regularly for abrasion of friction components within the brakes (s.
chapter Maintenance & care).
Testing the brake system
Push your Coboc e-bike forward while pulling the rear brake. If everything
is adjusted correctly the rear wheel should be blocking. If applying the
front brake, your rear wheel should leave the ground. Steering should not
rattle or have any play. The brake levers should not be pulled more than
halfway through during this test.
Before every Ride
Checking the wheels
Check the wheels and tire pressure! Inspect the tires and rims for abrasion,
damage, tears, deformations or smaller pieces that might be pushed in
(e.g. glass fragments or nails). We advise you to use a suitable bicycle
pump with built in pressure gauge. The optimal tire pressure is indicated
on the side of the tire and may differ depending on the tire model. In case
of doubt, or if you use components other than those already built in as
standard, please refer to the tire manufacturer, to ask for the correct tire
pressure. If tire pressure is too low, there is an increased risk of having at
tires due to rims pressing through the tire. Furthermore this might cause
sustainable damage to the rim.
If the pressure is too high, tires or rims might be damaged. In any case, wrong
tire pressure might cause crashes.
If you are not sure whether your Coboc e-bike is in technically
safe condition, do not start your ride. Let your local Coboc dealer
or a service partner check your e-bikes condition.
If you use your Coboc e-bike extensively then make sure to have your
e-bike checked more regularly from your Coboc dealer or a service partner
(s. chapter Maintenance & care).
Before your ride, make sure that your battery level is high enough
for the intended journey (s. chapter Battery level).
