Light system, Prop stand
Hub generator
The light system with a hub generator is switched on electrically. For this purpose you will find a switch on the back of the rear light with three labeled switch positions.With the switch you can turn the lighting system ON, OFF or set it to SENSOR. In the SENSOR position a twilight sensor in the lamp turns the lighting system on and off automatically depending on the brightness of the environment.
You switch on the hub generator light system with the integrated switch at the front light.
The SON hub generator is highly efficient and works silently.When the dynamo is turned off it has a very low turning resistance.Although you can feel the single poles of the used permanent magnets very distinctly when turning it by hand the real rolling resistance is minute. (The loss is at 15 km/h under 1 Watt).

Prop stand
Danger! Before every ride check whether the prop stand is lifted up to its riding posi- tion.With a recumbent prop stands are often forgotten. In the first left turn the prop stand can touch the ground and cause a fall! After a fall you will have to check the prop stand and the area where it is mounted for damage and deformation.
For the Street Machine GT you can use a rear prop stand at the frame or a prop stand that comes with the optional lowrider.
You get maximum effect with the prop stand at the lowrider. It supports the bicycle in the middle of the bike between the wheels.
In case no lowrider is mounted to your bicycle you can support it with a special rear prop stand.
The rear prop stand is mounted at the axle, put on the quick release axle and supports itself at the frame.There has to be a washer between prop stand and drop out, otherwise the prop stand is not mounted safely due to the special shape of the drop out.
From spring 2002 on the rear swing arm comes with a welded plate for the PLETSCHER prop stand.The screws have to be free of gre- ase, mounted with Loctite and tightened with
