Your Pedego is equipped with disc brakes for
maximum reliability. Applying hand pressure
to the brake levers will cause the wheel brake
to cause friction against the brake disc, slowing
the wheel. The more hand pressure applied
to the brake lever, the faster the Pedego will
come to a stop. The rear brake should always
be applied before and while the front brake is applied. Applying only the front brake
to slow or stop at high speeds may result in the rider being ejected from the saddle
and continuing forward over the handlebars. It is best to apply even pressure to both
brake levers when slowing or stopping.
Bicycles equipped with disc brakes will occasionally make a slight scraping noise
when the wheels are turning without the brakes being applied. This is normal.
Make sure that the brake lever does not contact the handle bar when full hand
pressure is applied (Figure 10). If so, then the brakes must be adjusted by
increasing the tension on the cable.
A quick adjustment may be made by screwing or unscrewing the threaded barrel
Figure 9). If
the brakes are still not operating correctly, they may require further adjustment by
an experienced bicycle mechanic.
WARNING:
Disc brake rotors become hot during use. Do not touch or come in contact with
the disc rotor shortly after use.
Wet weather will require a longer distance to stop. Brake earlier and avoid sud-
den stops when riding in wet conditions.
