Back pedal brakes
If your pedelec is equipped with back pedal
brakes, brake by pushing the pedals backwards
instead of forwards. This means that your cranks
will not freewheel and you are unable to rotate the
pedals backwards freely as you otherwise can.
The most efcient way to brake us-
ing back pedal brakes is when the
pedals are at the same height paral-
lel to the ground. If one pedal is at the top
and one at the bottom, it is difcult to pro-
duce enough force to brake effectively.
The effectiveness of back pedal
brakes can deteriorate substantially
on long inclines! This type of brak-
ing system can become very hot from con-
tinuous braking. You should also use the
front brake to slow down on long inclines.
Wait until the back pedal brake has cooled
down and do not touch the brake drum.
Gear change
This operating manual describes
the use of common commercial
gear components on a pedelec as
an example. If your components are differ-
ent, you will nd specic information in the
respective operating manual or on the web-
site of the manufacturer.
If you have any questions about as-
sembling, maintaining, setting up or
operating the gears, please contact
your specialist retailer.
The gear shifters regulate the necessary cycling
power and speed. Using lower gears makes cy-
cling uphill easier and reduces physical exertion
when pedalling. While riding in higher gears,
more physical exertion is needed to pedal, allow-
ing you to reach higher speeds with lower pedal-
ling cadence.
In general, you should strive to ride at a higher
pedalling frequency and in lower gears.
Modern pedelecs can be equipped with a variety
of different gear systems.
There are various options:
Derailleur gear systems
Hub gears
Combined derailleur and hub gear
Automated gear selection
These gears can be operated using various gear
levers:
Gear lever, STI Type, for example a Shimano
lever
Lever (A) starting position
Changing from a smaller to a
larger rear sprocket (Lever A)
Changing from a larger
to a smaller rear sprocket
(Lever B)
Lever (B) two way release
Combination of hub and chain gear
This type of gear uses a gear hub and a derail-
leur.
One of the advantages of this system is that there
is no need for a front derailleur and therefore also
little angled running of the chain. The hub gear
components are operated with a thumb switcher
and the chain gear system with a grip shifter or a
trigger shifter in the latest models.
