3.3 BRAKE LEVERS
The brake levers (Ref. F - Figure 5) are located on the handlebar of the pedal assisted bicycle, near the knobs (Ref. G-Fig-
ure 5). These systems allow the braking system to be activated by controlling the movement of the pads until they come
into contact with the wheel rim. The pads, sliding on special guides obtained in the profile of the rim, generate the friction
necessary to stop the motion of the bicycle in proportion to the force applied to the lever. The right brake lever activates
the rear brake fixed to the frame while the left brake lever activates the front brake fixed to the fork.
3.4 SPEED CHANGE
The pedal assisted bicycle has a 7-speed gearbox, with the sprockets positioned on the rear wheel hub, selectable using
the opposing levers, located at the base of the right knob. The indicator (Ref. H - Figure 5) present in the upper part of the
handlebar allows you to view the selected ratio.
