4. SOMETHING IMPORTANT ABOUT YOUR SMART PED
4.1 Assembling
Your Smart Ped has been properly assembled and it is ready to be used. If
you find any damaged part or you needs further adjustment contact your
dealer.

ably. Your brake lever has been adjusted for a proper gripping force
for most riders. If you find any difficult to squeeze the brake lever, ask
your dealer to adjust the cable tension or change the brake lever to
fit your requirements.
