adjuster counterclockwise decreases the brake pressure and

stopping ability.

Small changes in the modulation adjustment can have a

significant effect upon brake pressure and stopping ability.

Whenever you adjust the modulation, adjust each caliper in

1/4 turn increments and test the brakes. Always adjust each

side of the brakes equally. If you increase the modulation on

the left caliper by 1/4 turn, you should also increase the

modulation on the right caliper by an equal amount.

SHIFTING

Your seven-speed E-Bike™ uses a derailleur drivetrain,

which consists of.

• A rear sprocket cluster, called a freewheel or cogset

• A rear derailleur

• One shifter

• One control cable

• One front sprocket called a chainring

• A drive chain

There are many different types of shifter mechanisms, each

preferred for specific applications because of its ergonomic,

performance and price characteristics. The designers of your

E-Bike™ have selected the twist-type shifter design which

will give the best results on your E-Bike™.

To shift to a higher gear, twist the shifter forward or

counterclockwise while pedaling forward. To shift to a lower

gear, twist the shifter rearward or clockwise. See Figure 18.

A downshift is a shift to a lower or slower gear, one which is

easier to pedal. An upshift is a shift to a higher or faster gear,

one which harder to pedal gear. For example, you can

downshift to a lower gear to make pedaling easier on a hill.

On the otherhand, you may upshift to a higher gear when you

wish to go faster.
