You can check the braking efficiency by pulling both brake levers. Should you observe an increase in the brake lever stroke
so that it almost reaches the handlebar, then an intervention is necessary. A reduced braking efficiency might be due to an
advanced brake pads wear; this case pads need replacing.
Brake pads perform by friction. A mix of components called brake lining presses against the rotor thus braking its rotation.
Every contact between the brake lining and the rotor wears out both components surface, even if at different times and in
different ways. Pads must be replaced when the brake lining is less than 0,5mm thick.
Replacing the pads or the rotor and aligning the rotor on the brake caliper are some complex operations, so we
recommend you see a professional bicycle service in order to perform them. Improper performance of such
operations may result in accidents, serious injuries or death to the user and/or those around them.
Necessary tools to adjust or replace the pads: latex gloves, needle nose pliers (to extract the safety pin), 1 5mm
Allen key (to remove the retaining screw), 1 cotton rug and isopropyl alcohol or disc cleaner.
e-bikes are heavier and faster than normal bicycles, that is why they require more maintenance. So we invite
you follow the instructions in this chapter.
Perform only the maintenance operations you are sure you can properly complete.
If you notice an uneven consumption of the pads or if the pads start showing some wear signs, then it is necessary to carry
out an adjustment. You can tighten or loosen the retaining screws to remove or bring the pads closer to the rotor.
We recommend you use only original Verve components.
The braking system is essential to your safety riding, that is why it is very important to keep it perfectly working.
Take care of your e-bike cables and connectors, avoid to damage them.
Braking system maintenance
Always remove the battery before performing any repair or maintenance operation.
