Інструкцыя па эксплуатацыі

1. Shifting Gears (Shimano 7-Speed)

Your Kinney Mixte is equipped with a Shimano 7-speed drivetrain and Revoshift Twist-Grip shifters. To change gears, twist the shifter on the right handlebar forward or backward. Twist forward for higher gears (faster speed, harder pedaling) and backward for lower gears (easier pedaling, good for inclines).

2. Тармажэнне

The bike uses caliper brakes. The right lever controls the rear brake, and the left lever controls the front brake. Apply both brakes simultaneously for effective stopping. Avoid sudden, hard application of the front brake, especially at high speeds, to prevent loss of control.

3. Using the Rear Rack

The integrated rear rack is designed to carry light cargo. Ensure any items are securely fastened and do not interfere with the rear wheel or your pedaling. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity specified for the rack.
