The DEEPOWER QS7 is equipped with front and rear dual disc brakes for reliable stopping power in various conditions. Always apply both brakes simultaneously for effective and controlled braking. Regularly check brake pads and cables for wear.
3.5 Lighting System
The e-bike features a bright headlight, brake light, and turn signals for enhanced visibility and safety, especially during night rides or in low-light conditions. Operate these lights via controls on the handlebar.
