3.2.2 Round handlebars with brake lever ring
Braking with round handlebars with brake
lever ring is done by gently pushing down the
ring (A) and is therefore suitable for users with
limited strength in arms and hands who re-
quire the round handlebars as support point
at the same time. The brake lever ring is cou-
pled with the rim brake.
3.2.3 Round handlebars with brake function
The braking function is triggered by simply
pressing the round handlebars (B) down-
wards. The round handlebars with braking
function is suitable for users with limited
strength in arms and hands.
3.2.4 Drum brake in front wheel
The brake lever for actuation of the drum
brake is located on the right-hand side of
the handlebars. In drive mode, always use
only the front wheel drum brake in connecti-
on with the backpedal brake.
The braking effect can be reduced if the
brakes are used frequently. Therefore ensure
to regularly re-adjust the Bowden cable of the
brake when you notice a loss in braking power
(see Point 3.2.1)
3.2.5 Backpedal brake
The backpedal brake is actuated by pedaling backwards. The drive
options of the freewheel brake hub and the 3 or 7-gear freewheel brake
hub feature a backpedal brake.
The backpedal brake is only functional when the chain sits correctly! If the chain
jumps off, it is not possible to brake using the backpedal brake!
The rear wheel may block in case of strong braking procedures. Risk of crashes!
During long downhill runs, it is essential that you use the front and rear
brakes in order to avoid overheating of the rear hub brake. This may lead to
brake malfunctions!
