The brakes are mounted on both the front and back wheels. The disc brake block slows the disc by acting on it. The brakes are functioned by both brake levers on the handlebars. right-hand lever operating the front brake and the left the rear.
ALWAYS CHECK YOUR BRAKES BEFORE CYCLING
The bicycle brake is not only used to stop the bicycle, but also to regulate its speed. Maximum tyre braking force is the force exerted when the tyres are “locked” (not rotating) and sliding. In the event of tyre slippage, the majority of braking force will be lost,  rendering the bicycle uncontrollable. Please use a little touch to the brakes and stop the bicycle gradually, known as progressive braking, to avoid locking the tyres.

MOTOR

The ebike is operated by a hub based 250W motor. This means the motor operates directly on the back wheel and assists in the rider’s pedalling. Using the LCD control system, the user may change the motor’s power and pick from several riding levels 1-5. The motor provides a maximum speed of 25 km/h / 15.5 mph in accordance with EU/UK regulations.
