Stopping
Your mobility scooter has two sets of brakes, at the front and at the rear. The levers at-
tached to the handlebars, on the left and right, activate the brakes. Pull the levers toward
you to activate the brakes.
You can use both brakes to come to a stop more quickly, or you can use one of the brakes
to come to a gentle stop, depending on your riding needs at the moment.
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.
Safety Tips
• When you are traveling in wet weather, water may cause your brakes to function
less efficiently 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 significant use will have
to be replaced.
The Horn
The mobility scooter has a horn. There are horn buttons on the left side of the function
switches on the handlebar. Simply press it to activate the horn.
Turning Signal Lights
Your mobility scooter has turn signal lights. The turn signal activator is on the left handle-
bar. Push it left or right to activate it to indicate that you are turning in the appropriate
direction, and press the middle of the button to turn it off.
Lights
The headlight and taillight are useful features when you are riding at night or in dark ar-
eas. They radically improve your safety in mixed traffic. The switch is located on the right
handlebar. The lights on your mobility scooter consume some electricity. Keeping them on
may reduce the maximum distance you can travel on one charge by about 5%.
