Gear Shifting:

The ZDZA ZA01 is equipped with a Shimano 7-speed gear system. Use the shifter on the handlebar to change gears according to terrain and desired effort. Shift to lower gears for climbing hills and higher gears for flat terrain or downhill riding.
Braking:
The bike features front and rear dual disc brakes. Apply both brake levers simultaneously for effective and safe stopping. Familiarize yourself with the braking response in a safe, open area before riding in traffic.
Lights and Horn:
Activate the integrated headlight and horn using the control buttons on the handlebar for increased visibility and safety, especially during low-light conditions or when alerting others.
