lighting, depending on the cycle model.
4.7.1 Hub dynamo
The hub dynamo, to which the headlamp is connected, is located in the front wheel
hub. The rear lamp is linked to the headlamp. The hub dynamo supplies the lighting with
power as soon as the front wheel is turned.
With a hub dynamo, the lighting is generally switched on directly from the headlamp or
from the handlebars. When the switch is operated, the rear lamp is switched on along
with the headlamp.
x Switch the lighting on and off by operating the switch.
Depending on the lighting model, there may be an integrated light sensor. In automatic
mode, the headlamp and rear lamp are switched on and off automatically depending on
the light conditions.
