Betjeningsvejledning

1. Sikkerhedstjek før turen

• Bremser: Ensure both front and rear handbrakes function correctly. Squeeze the levers to confirm they engage the wheels effectively.
• Dæk: Check tire pressure. Tires should be firm.
• Bolts and Quick Releases: Verify all bolts, nuts, and quick-release levers are securely tightened.
• Hjelm: Always ensure the rider wears a properly fitted helmet.

2. Bremsesystem

This bicycle is equipped with a dual handbrake system, providing independent control over the front and rear wheels for enhanced stopping power and safety.

• The right-hand lever typically controls the rear brake.
• The left-hand lever typically controls the front brake.
• Instruct the rider to apply both brakes gently and evenly to slow down or stop. Avoid sudden, hard braking with the front brake only, as this can cause instability.

3. Brug af støttebenet

To park the bicycle, use the integrated kickstand. Ensure the bicycle is on a flat, stable surface before engaging the kickstand to prevent it from falling over.

Opretholdelse

Regelmæssig vedligeholdelse sikrer din cykels levetid og sikre drift.

• Dæk: Check tire pressure weekly. Maintain pressure within the range indicated on the tire sidewall. Inspect tires for wear, cuts, or embedded objects.
• Bremser: Periodically check brake pads for wear and ensure brake cables are not frayed. Adjust brake tension as needed to ensure responsive braking.
• Kæde: Keep the chain clean and lightly lubricated. Apply bicycle-specific chain lubricant every few weeks, or more often if riding in wet or dusty conditions.
• Bolte og fastgørelseselementer: Regularly inspect all bolts, nuts, and quick-release mechanisms for tightness. Loose components can affect safety and performance.
• Rensning: Clean the bicycle with mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washing, which can force water into bearings and other components. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
• Opbevaring: Store the bicycle in a dry, covered area to protect it from weather elements.
