5. Bedienungsanleitung

5.1. Gangschaltung

• The EVERCROSS EM3 features a 21-speed system (3 front gears, 7 rear gears).
• Use the left shifter for the front derailleur (larger gear changes for significant inclines/declines).
• Use the right shifter for the rear derailleur (smaller gear changes for fine-tuning speed and cadence).
• Shift gears smoothly while pedaling to avoid strain on the drivetrain. Avoid shifting under heavy load.

5.2. Bremsen

• Das Fahrrad ist mit Scheibenbremsen für zuverlässige Bremskraft ausgestattet.
• Der rechte Hebel steuert üblicherweise die Hinterradbremse, der linke Hebel die Vorderradbremse.
• Apply both brakes simultaneously for controlled stopping. Avoid sudden, hard application of the front brake, especially at high speeds, to prevent loss of control.

5.3. Riding Posture

• Maintain a comfortable and balanced posture. Keep your elbows slightly bent to absorb shocks.
• Adjust your body position for different terrains: lean forward slightly for climbs, shift weight back for descents.
