4.3 Braking System
The T1 is equipped with dual mechanical disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels. These sensitive brakes provide fast and stable stopping power, significantly reducing braking distance even in challenging environments. Always apply both brakes simultaneously for optimal control.

4.4 Lighting System
For enhanced safety during night rides or in low-visibility conditions, the T1 features a bright front headlight and an integrated taillight with a brake light indicator. Ensure lights are functional before riding in the dark.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your Tomofree T1 electric bike. Perform these checks periodically.
5.1 Cleaning
Clean your bike regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on electrical components. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
5.2 Tire Pressure
The 16"x3.0" fat tires are designed for all-terrain capability. Check tire pressure before each ride and inflate to the recommended PSI (usually found on the tire sidewall) for optimal performance and safety. Proper inflation prevents punctures and ensures a smooth ride.

5.3 Battery Care
To maximize battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Store the battery in a cool, dry place and charge it at least once every two months if not in use. Use only the provided charger.
5.4 Suspension System
The T1 features a dual suspension system with 10 shock absorbers (including seat, mid-mounted, rear, and front fork hydraulic). Periodically inspect the suspension components for any signs of wear or damage. Keep them clean to ensure smooth operation.
