Routines; Tyres; Brakes; Tooth Belt - Schindelhauer Bikes Oskar Notice D'utilisation

4. Routines

Always wear suitable, preferably bright and visible clothing.
Wear tight legwear or use knee-bands to prevent your
clothes from getting caught in the drive train. Danger of
accident! Wear footwear that fits the pedal system.

4.1. Tyres

Are both tyres in good condition and do they have enough pressure?
Insufficient tyre pressure impairs riding stability and the tyre's lifespan.
Please see tyre sidewall for recommendations of the tyre manufacturer.
For the standard tyre WTB Horizon 47c the manufacturer recommends a tyre
pressure ranging from 3,1 to 4,5bar.
Check the tyres for tears or caught debris that might cause
a sudden pressure drop. Danger of accident!

4.2. Brakes

3. Operate the brakes on the parked e-bike. A point of pressure has to
build up way before the lever touches the handlebar.
4. Check the brake hoses for defects before every ride. On a hydraulic
disc brake the brake fluid must not leak!
• The pressure point describes a position of the brake
lever when the brake pads touch the rotor and give
feedback. A properly bled brake's point of pressure is
always in the same position when the lever is pulled
and does not feel "squishy". If this is not the case, the
hydraulic brakes must be bled by a specialised dealer!
• Do not touch the disc brake rotor with bare hands. The
natural greasy film of your skin will transfer to the
surface of the rotor and therefore impair the function
of the brake.

4.3. Tooth belt

1. Check the tooth belt for debris on the inside of the belt and between
belt and sprocket. Remove any found foreign objects before you start
your ride.
2. Clean a dirty tooth belt with clear water and a soft brush.

4.4. Bosch eBike System

4. Is the battery correctly placed in the downtube and firmly secured by
the lock?
5. Is the battery level sufficient for the planned ride?
6. Is the rubber cover of the charging socket closed?
Bear in mind that a cold battery decreases the range of your e-bike. The
battery should ideally be at room temperature just before the start of a ride.
Remove the key from the battery lock before every ride to
avoid hurting yourself and possibly damaging the key/lock.
Danger of accident!
