Your E-Lagos T3 is equipped with a Shimano Nexus 7-speed internal gear hub. Shift gears using the grip shifter on the right handlebar. Shift to a lower gear for easier pedaling on inclines and a higher gear for faster speeds on flat terrain.
3.3 Braking System
The bicycle features a V-Brake on the front wheel and a coaster brake (backpedal brake) on the rear wheel.
- Front Brake: Operated by the lever on the left handlebar. Use for controlled stopping power.
- Rear Brake (Coaster Brake): Activated by pedaling backward. Provides reliable stopping for the rear wheel.
- Always apply both brakes simultaneously for effective and safe stopping.
3.4 Handlebar Lock

The integrated handlebar lock helps stabilize the front wheel when the bicycle is parked, especially when loaded with items on the front rack. Rotate the mechanism to 'LOCK' to secure the handlebar, and to 'FREE' to allow steering.
3.5 Lighting System
The E-Lagos T3 is equipped with LED lights for both front and rear visibility.
