VOLCON BRAT OWNER’S MANUAL
Brakes
WARNING: BRAKES ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE SAFE OPERATION OF
YOUR E-BIKE AND MUST BE PROPERLY MAINTAINED, ADJUSTED, AND
REPLACED REGULARLY. IF ANY OF THE BELOW IS NOT WITHIN YOUR SKILL
LEVEL, WE RECOMMEND TAKING YOUR BIKE TO AN E-BIKE SPECIALIST
OR PROFESSIONAL CYCLE MECHANIC. HYDRAULIC BRAKES REQUIRE
MAINTENANCE NOT ONLY ON THE PADS AND ROTORS BUT ALSO ON THE
HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINE. IF YOUR BRAKES FEEL SOFT OR SPONGY YOU MAY
NEED TO BLEED THE SYSTEM.
WARNING: IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE BEYOND YOUR
MECHANICAL ABILITY, WE RECOMMEND TAKING YOUR BRAT TO A CERTIFIED
E-BIKE SPECIALIST OR PROFESSIONAL CYCLE MECHANIC FOR ADJUSTMENTS.
Check to see if the rotor and pads have contact with each other. On a hydraulic disc
brake, pad wear is compensated automatically. Check the alignment of the pads with the
brake disc. Good alignment and a clean braking system will ensure the absence of noise
and promote normal wear of the pads.
To ensure the maximum service life of your brake components, avoid contaminating the
pads and the disc with greasy substances. Regularly check the condition of your brake
cables and the wear of your pads.
For better ergonomics and safety, we advise you to adjust the brake levers in a position
that places them as a natural extension of the user’s arms. If you have any questions or
concerns, please contact us at support@volcon.com.
New Brake Pad & Rotor Bed-In Process
WARNING: ANY TIME YOU REPLACE YOUR BRAKE PADS, ROTORS,
OR BOTH, IT IS IMPORTANT THEY BE PROPERLY BEDDED FOR OPTIMAL
PERFORMANCE. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ADEQUATE SPACE AND DISTANCE TO
PERFORM THE FOLLOWING STEPS.
1. Start pedaling and accelerate your bike up to a good speed, approximately
20mph. Apply your Rear Brake and squeeze evenly until almost stopped (About
a walking speed). Use care not to come to a complete stop or to lock up the
brake and skid. Doing this can deposit an uneven amount of material on the
rotors. You may notice very poor stopping power at the beginning of this
process, which is perfectly normal. There may also be excess noise created
during this process, which is also normal.
