US-26 Original User Guide | Groove Go pedelec Version 1
Learn how to transfer your weight
When you apply one or both brakes, the bike begins to slow, but your
body wants to continue at the speed at which it was going. This causes a
transfer of weight to the front wheel (or, under heavy braking, around the
front wheel hub, which could send you ying over the handlebars).
A wheel with more weight on it will accept greater brake pressure before
lockup; a wheel with less weight will lock up with less brake pressure.
So, as you apply brakes and your weight is transferred forward, you need
to shift your body toward the rear of the bike, to transfer weight back on
to the rear wheel; and at the same time, you need to both decrease rear
braking and increase front braking force. This is even more important on
descents, because descents shift weight forward.
This weight transfer is even more pronounced if your bike has a front
suspension fork. Front suspension “dips” under braking, increasing the
weight transfer.
Go more slowly on loose or wet surfaces
Everything changes when you ride on loose surfaces or in wet weather.
Avoid wet weather riding where possible. It will take longer to stop on
loose surfaces or in wet weather. Tire adhesion is reduced, so the wheels
have less cornering and braking traction and can lock up with less brake
force. Moisture or dirt on the brake pads reduces their ability to grip. The
way to maintain control on loose or wet surfaces is to go more slowly.
WARNING
If your brakes are not functioning as listed above, they need
adjustment, do not ride the bike until the brakes are properly adjusted
by a professional bicycle mechanic.
3.7 Understanding the chain
Chain
WARNING
Always remove the battery before starting to work on the pedelec. The
system could switch itself on unexpectedly and you could seriously
injure yourself.
CAUTION
Check the chain for signs of wear before every trip. A worn or
damaged chain can break. It that happens while you are riding the
bike you could be thrown o and seriously injured.
NOTICE
When you are cleaning the chain, make sure that no water gets into
the motor. Water ingress can damage the motor.
If the chain won’t shift smoothly and quietly from gear to
gear, the derailleur is out of adjustment. See your dealer.
