4.7 ACCELERATING
Your ECOPED is designed to gradually accelerate to a speed of
32km/h from a standstill position. Depending on the total load, it may
take a few hundred meters for your ECOPED to accelerate to its top
speed. Travelling at top speed can be very dangerous if not carried
out correctly. When accelerating, keep the bicycle moving straight and
make sure none of the brakes are engaged.
WARNING!
Any sudden movements or swerves may cause the bike to lose control and may
cause serious injuries.
4.8 BRAKING
Your ECOPED is equipped with drum brakes at both rear and front.
When braking, gradually squeeze the right lever until the bicycle comes
to a complete stop. The right lever engages the front brake, which is
proven to be more efficient than rear brake in most situations. Squeez-
ing the left lever will engage the rear brakes. Using the rear brake in
conjunction with the front brake will achieve the fastest and safest
braking. Do not solely rely on a single brake.
