Be aware: the faster you ride, the longer it takes for your e-bike to come to a complete stop during an emergency brake. Always adjust your speed to suit your surroundings and the traffic conditions, and remain alert at all times. In uncertain situations, it’s safer to slow down – this shortens your braking distance. Ride with foresight: pay attention to the road, any potential hazards and other road users so you can react and brake in good time. The quicker your reaction – that is, the time it takes to pull the brake lever – the shorter your braking distance will be. This increases your safety, and that of everyone else on the road.
