SUPER73 ZX - Brake Pad and Rotor Bed-in; Replacing Brake Pads

28
NEW BRAKE PAD & ROTOR BED-IN PROCESS
Any time you replace your brake pads, rotors, or both, it is important they are
properly bedded for optimal performance. To bed your brakes properly after
replacement, accelerate your bike up to 20mph or 25 km/hand then engage your
brakes to bring the bike to a near stop, and then repeat the process up to 8-10
times. This process allows your pads to wear evenly as well as remove surface glaze
and contamination from installation.
REPLACING THE PADS
Checkforwearby looking atyour brake padsthroughthespaces
betweenthewheel’s spokes.Theoutsidepadwill be pressed against a metal rotor.
Generally, there should be at least 1/4 inch ofpad.Ifyou see less than 1/4 inch (0.6
mm) ofpad, you may want to haveyour brake padsinspected or replaced.
When pads are worn, make sure to adjust both clearances between the rotor and
pad so that they are equal and balanced. If only one side is adjusted it will cause
braking failure.
1. Pads and pad holders are held in place by a 3 mm pad retainer bolt on the caliper.
To remove the pads and pad holder, unscrew the retainer bolt, then gently push out
the pads and holder. This may be easier to achieve by using an Allen wrench.
2. Once free of the caliper, the pads may be easily removed from the pad holder.
It is highly recommended that you wear rubber gloves when handling new brake
pads, as direct contact with your hands can contaminate the pads and/or rotor
during installation. Contaminated brake pads and rotors can negatively affect
braking performance.

BATTERY RANGE
The maximum range of a full charge depends on many variables such as: age of
battery, type of terrain and incline, rider weight, speed, outside temperature, driving
style, amount of pedaling, or tire pressure.
Range in cold weather:
• In case of extreme cold, the range of your electric bike is reduced. It is a normal
physical process, and in no case a damage or defect of the battery. If you use
your battery when temperatures rise, it’s energy will increase again.
• We advise you to store the battery and charge it at room temperature during
cold days. The power consumption warms the battery and you benefit from a
