Brakes
Your scooter has a hand-operated brake located on the left hand side. It is connected to
the rear wheel. Squeeze the lever to activate the brake.
When the brakes are activated, the power to the engine is automatically turned off , until
you release the brakes. This allows you to stop safely. The rear brakes are pressure sensitive.
This means that the harder the brake lever is squeezed, the more friction is applied to the
brake wheel.
Safety Tips
• When you are traveling in wet weather, water may cause your brakes to function
less effi ciently because it reduces friction between the brake pads and the wheels.
Take care to slow down and give yourself more room to stop or slow if necessary.
• It is a good idea to have your brakes and brake pads checked regularly. The brake
pads will eventually wear down through friction, and after signifi cant use will have
to be replaced.
Lights
The Photon Deluxe includes an external LED light attached to the steering column. The
mount can be adjusted to any height on the steering column - simply loosen the screw,
adjust the height, and re-tighten. The LED light has external batteries that are not attached
to the Photon Deluxe main battery. Using the LED light at night is ideal for illuminating
pathways or to further increase visibility.
Range and Speed
When fully charged, the scooter will cover approximately 10km on level ground with a
70kg rider. The top speed is approximately 15km/h with a 100 kg rider on level ground and
calm winds. Please note that these fi gures are estimates only, and they may vary depend-
ing on terrain, wind conditions, and the weight of the rider.
Steering Adjustment
You will need to periodically check the steering adjustment nuts for tightness. This can be
adjusted by turning nut clockwise and locking the hex nut with a wrench.
