Braking System

The SCR-X is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, featuring a cut-off system that disengages motor power when brakes are applied. This ensures safe and effective stopping in various conditions. Regularly check brake pad wear and fluid levels.

Maintenance

Battery Care

To prolong battery life, store the bicycle in a cool, dry place. Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. If storing for extended periods, charge the battery to about 50-60% every few months.
