BRAKES
HOW TO USE THE BRAKES CORRECTLY
The Birdy is equipped with particularly pow-
erful brakes. The stopping distance however
depends also on the rider’s skill. No worries
as this can be trained.
When you brake, your weight is shifted to
the front wheel from the rear wheel. The
strength of the deceleration is the primary
factor in bicycle rollover with the secondary
factor being the traction of the tyres. This
can be particularly problematic when riding
downhill. During an emergency stop try to
shift your weight as far back as possible.
Press both brake levers at the same time
and note that the front brake transmits
much more braking force due to the shifting
weight. Avoid, however, locking the front
wheel as this can cause slipping or even a
rollover.
BELEGUNG DER BREMSHEBEL
If your bike is equipped with a coaster brake
and only one hand brake, the brake lever will
be located on the right side and will operate
the front brake. If your bike is equipped with
two brake levers, the one on the right oper-
ates the rear brake and the one on the left
operates the front brake. Familiarize yourself
with the orientation or ask your dealer to
change them to your liking.
Make sure to familiarize yourself
with the brakes gradually.
Practice emergency braking in
a trac-free area until you are
able to safely control the bike.
This can prevent accidents while
on the road.
DANGER!
After long downhill sections
the rims can become very hot.
Rest regularly to let the rims
cool down. Overheated rims can
lead to a puncture or even an
accident!
DANGER!
Some dealers change the orienta-
tion of the brake levers because
there are different opinions as
to which orientation is correct.
Therefore please check before
your rst ride, whether the above
orientation matches your bike
and your preferences.
DANGER!
