HELMETS / REFLECTORS
A properly fitting ANSI or SNELL, (or CE if you are located in Europe), approved bi-
cycle safety helmet should be worn at all times when riding your bicycle, or recom-
mended per your local laws. Always wear a properly fitted helmet that covers the
forehead when riding a bicycle. Many states require specific safety devices. It is your
responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of the state where you ride and to
comply with all applicable laws, including properly equipping yourself and your bike
as the law requires.
Reflectors are important safety devices that are designed as an integral part of your
bicycle. Federal regulations require every bicycle to be equipped with front, rear,
wheel, and pedal reflectors. These reflectors are designed to pick up and reflect
street-lights and car lights in a way that helps you to be seen and recognized as a
moving bicyclist. Check reflectors and their mounting brackets regularly to make
sure they are clean, straight, unbroken, and securely mounted.
BRAKES
Brakes are an integral part of the operation of your bike and must be properly
maintained, adjusted, and replaced. If any of the below is not within your skill
set we recommend taking your bike to an E-bike specialist or professional cycle
mechanic.
Mechanical brake lines require maintenance not only on the pads and rotors but
also on the mechanical brake cable. Brake pad replacement, check to see if the
rotor and pads have contact with each other.
The Super73 ZX is equipped with Tektro disc brakes. Tektro brake adjustment
manuals are available on www.tektro.com.
The Super73 brake orientation is as follows:
Rear brake = right lever and Front brake = left lever

• Brake pads: https://www.tektro.com/products.php?p=226
The wear of the pads on a mechanical disc brake can be regulated by unscrewing the
cable tension knob. There is a complementary adjustment of the inner pad which can
be tightened closer or removed from the disc by screwing it in or out with a 5 mm
Allen key. To ensure maximum service life of the brake components, avoid contami-
nation of the pads and the disc by greasy substances.
Regularly check the condition of your cables, ducts or harness and the wear
of your pads. Some discs are only compatible with “resin” pads. Do not use a
metal pad with discs marked “Resin”.
For better ergonomics and safety, we advise you to adjust the brake levers in a po-
sition that places it as a natural extension of the user’s arms. If you have any ques-
tions or concerns, please contact Super73.
