ADJUSTING YOUR ELECTRIC FAT BIKE
ALIGNING THE BRAKES
Your electric bike is equipped with a disc
brake system. To properly adjust them you
must rst make sure that the brake disc is
properly aligned within the brake. To do this,
loosen the top and bottom hex bolts (gure
22.1) with an Allen key. Then maneuver the
brake with your hand so that the disc passes
through the brake pads with minimal contact.
Once the disc rotates through the brake freely,
retighten the hex bolts and make sure that
while tightening you maintain the alignment.
ADJUSTING THE BRAKES
If when squeezing the brake handle the bike does not stop properly, you will
have to adjust the brakes. You can do this by loosening the hex bolt
(gure 22.2) with an Allen key. Once the bolt is loosened, lift the braking
arm so that the brake is squeezing the brake disc (gure 22.3) and spin the
wheel. Lower the brake arm in small amounts until the wheel is spinning
smoothly. Pull the brake cable tight and retighten the hex bolt.
