must adapt their riding style to the environmen-
tal conditions (e.g. the amount of traction/grip
between the tires and the ground, steep in-
clines, weather, additional loads, etc.). Carrying
an additional load that changes the vehicle's
center of gravity in any way (e.g. a basket or a
child seat on the handlebars), which could in-
crease the tendency to tip over, is not recom-
mended.
WARNING – Tampering with components of the
u
ABS will prevent it from working correctly.
If any components of the braking system or the ABS
are tampered with, modified, or replaced with
unauthorized components, this may prevent the
ABS from working as it should. Correct operation
cannot be guaranteed and there is a greater risk of
falling. Servicing and repairs must always be car-
ried out by authorized professionals. Defective
parts must always be replaced with original parts.
WARNING – only use the brake fluid specified by
u
the relevant brake manufacturer
Only the brake fluid intended for the respective
foundation brake and specified by the relevant
brake manufacturer may ever be used as brake
fluid. If another brake fluid is used, correct opera-
tion cannot be guaranteed and there is a greater
risk of falling over. Servicing and repairs must al-
ways be carried out by authorized professionals.
WARNING – only use the original brake pads
u
Only the original brake pads intended for the re-
spective foundation brake may ever be used as
brake pads. If another brake pad is used, correct
operation cannot be guaranteed and there is a
greater risk of falling over and braking distance will
increase. Servicing and repairs must always be car-
ried out by authorized professionals.
WARNING – size of brake discs can only be mod-
u
ified after approval by the eBike manufacturer
