COASTER BRAKES
Some Riese & Müller and blueLABEL models
oer a coaster brake option. Coaster brakes
allow you to apply the brake to the rear
wheel at any time by pedaling backwards.
Riese & Müller only use coaster brakes
whose braking performance is not influ
-
enced by the current gear that one is using.
If your E-bike is equipped with a coaster
brake, you brake by pedaling backwards.
Then you have no freewheel and you can
not move the pedals backwards. The best
way to use a coaster brake is with a horizon
-
tal position of the pedals. With one pedal on
top you will have bad brake performance
due a a poor force application. On long
downhill passages the brake performance
can decrease due to heating up. So also use
the front brake on long downhill passages
and let the coaster brake cool down.
Before each trip and after any
maintenance work, ensure that
the coaster brake arm is securely
attached to the bracket on the
frame. This connection requires
a torque of 4 – 6 Nm.
