We assume that as a Coboc bike user you have gathered enough basic
experience with ordinary bikes. If this is not the case, we recommend
practicing on a bike without motor support. Because of the strong accele-
ration and the increased maximum speed it is recommended for you to be
able to handle bikes very good.
Get used to your Coboc bike. The special riding characteristics for Coboc
bikes require for you to familiarize with it on different terrain. Make sure
that you got it under control before starting to use your Coboc bike in
public.
Operating the Coboc Electric Drive
Your SEVEN Kallio has two operating modes:
"Bike off" / manual riding: You can always choose to ride your bike without
motor support. Motor support is turned off, if the five LEDs on the top
tube are not lit up. You should keep motor support turned off, if storing or
not using your Coboc bike.
"Bike on" / riding with motor support: Pressing the power button turns
on motor support for your Coboc bike. Motor support is turned on, if the
five LEDs on the top tube are lit up. In a turned on state LEDs indicate the
battery level and motor support goes up to maximum speeds of 25 km/h.
To turn your bike back off, just press the power button again. Your Coboc
bike turns off automatically after staying unused for more than three
minutes.
Operating the Lights
Your SEVEN Kallio is equipped with an integrated lighting system, which
can also be operated by the power button. You can turn it on and off by
pressing down the power button for three seconds. The lighting system is
controllable in both "bike on" and "bike off" mode and turns off automati-
cally after your bike stays unused for more than four minutes.
After the motor support has been switched off due to discharge, a residual
charge remains in the battery so that the lighting system can still be used
for 2 hours.
Handling
Notes on Using the Brakes
Make sure to know which brake lever belongs to which brake before starting
your ride. As standard the right brake lever belongs to the rear wheel brake
and the left brake lever belongs to the front wheel brake.
Regularly check the friction components for wear.
With your disc brakes it is essential to check the wear of the disc rotors.
Also the wear of the brake pads mounted in your brake caliper (s. chapter
Maintenance & Care).
If wear is too heavy on any of these components, this may lead to total failu-
re of the brake system. Hard falls and serious injury can be the result.
Use your brakes in a controlled and well-timed way. Too heavy
breaking may leave your wheels blocked and therefore lead to loss
of control. Hard falls and serious injury can be the result.
Hydraulic Disc Brakes
Avoid using the brakes permanently if riding downhill for longer periods
as this might cause steam bubble formation and therefore lead to loss of
control. Hard falls and serious injury can be the result. Always try to fully
release the brakes or to switch between front and rear wheel brakes. That
way the brake system can cool off. If necessary take a short break to cool
it off. Always check the braking point before your journey. If you are able
to pull the lever all the way back to the handlebar or of the braking point
changes while riding you may not continue riding. Let your Coboc dealer
either bleed your brake or fix it, if needed.
