FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY

For use on private land, Dragonfly has enhanced performance in order to deliver the
torque required for more demanding terrain. This mode has a greater potential risk of
injury and therefore requires careful consideration for safety and all applicable laws.
Upon selecting OFF-ROAD mode you will be reminded of this.

In order to drive your Dragonfly, you will need to disengage Parking (P) and engage
one of the driving modes. Press (P) to disengage Parking mode and click the + and –
buttons to toggle between the different drive modes available.

5.5 ACCELERATING

5.6 BRAKING

Front E-ABS
Your Dragonfly is equipped with ONE DRIVE

technology. This function also turns on

enhanced battery regenerative braking. Turn ON by selecting E-ABS from the vehicle
settings menu and select ON. Once enabled, acceleration and braking are controlled with
one finger. At slow speeds it is recommended to supplement the front E-brakes with the
rear mechanical left hand brake lever.

*Regenerative braking As you brake, the system will automatically allocate a quantity of
the braking force to energy regeneration and some to the electronic brake mechanism.
As a result, the system simultaneously slows the vehicle down and recharges the battery
for improved energy efficiency, greater range and the benefit of reduced rear brake wear.

You can adjust the intensity of

ONE DRIVE E-Braking

in the vehicle settings menu. Toggle

between

25%

and

100%

. These values correlate to brake intensity at the front wheels as

well as the amount of battery regeneration.

Test these settings in a safe place, well away from obstacles, pedestrians and traffic. It’s
important to get familiar with this driving style prior to driving in a public place.

Note: 100% E-Braking as part of the ONE DRIVE technology can add up to 10% battery
efficiency.

5.6.1 MECHANICAL PARKING BRAKE

5.6.2 E-PARKING (P) BRAKE

Your Dragonfly’s acceleration is controlled by an accelerator
The button is located on the right-hand side of the handlebars.
Familiarize yourself with the accelerator before trying to maximize
speed.

Always practise at low speeds first, in D1 mode.

FAILURE TO ENGAGE PARKING BRAKE MAY RESULT IN
DAMAGE OR INJURY OR DEATH

WARNING

Always apply your back (left hand) brake first.
Avoid sudden braking.

Testing the brakes Your Dragonfly is equipped with an electric front
braking system operated by the right lever and a mechanical drum
rear braking system operated by the left lever. Always anticipate
braking ahead of any obstacle. Keep your weight evenly distributed
on your Dragonfly, particularly when braking, to avoid falling forward.

Note: The front e-brakes and e-parking brake only work when the
vehicle is on. E-Braking performance increases with speed.

When your Dragonfly is stationary and switched off, engage your
parking brake to lock your rear wheels and stop any possibility of
motion.

Squeeze your left rear brake lever to its maximum position and
depress the button on top of the lever. To turn off simple tighten the
lever once more and the button will auto release.

WARNING

Your electronic Parking brake only works

when your Dragonfly is switched ON.
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic parking (P) brake.
Once engaged, the system locks the front wheels and prevents
any movement. This is an intelligent and intuitive system. If any
directional pressure is applied while (P) brake is activated, the system
will correct any movement. For example, if you park your Dragonfly on
an incline and pressure applied on the deck causes an initial shift in
your position, the system will automatically reposition your vehicle in
its original parking place.

To engage your electronic parking (P) brake, press on the P button.
This will disengage your driving mode and lock your front wheels.
