The Brakes
Front Brakes
The brakes on your e-bike are drum-brakes, like those found on gas scooters and motorcycles. They generally
provide for very ne stopping and control. This is a very tested and well-designed technology, but even so,
the brakes will require servicing from time to time, and may have to be adjusted for tension.
Unlike normal friction-grip bicycle brakes, which clamp down from the outside, the drum brakes clamp from
the inside. When the brakes are activated, tension increases and the clamps engage. This is a very eective
and reliable way to stop a vehicle.
The brakes are contained within a sealed unit, and are very nely adjusted and tted.
Rear Brakes
The rear brakes on your e-bike are EABS Brakes (Electric Absorption Braking System). These provide a good
friction-grip when they are activated. They signicantly less than standard drum brakes. Using these brakes
helps to reduce the weight of the e-bike and improve its performance.
The Chain and Pedals
The pedals are connected to the rear wheel. Along with the chain, they provide a human- powered “drive
train”. This is an important part of your e-bike. The pedals are not removable and should not be removed.
Shock Absorbers
The EM2 comes with adjustable shocks. This allows you to increase or decrease the softness of bumps to
your preference. To increase or decrease the softness, simply twist the top of the shocks towards your desired
state.
