BRAKES & STOPPING
Coming to a stop in your scooter can simply be done by releasing the throttle. The throttle will
automatically return to the centre position, and the scooter will come to a stop.
ATTENTION
–
Quickly moving the throttle in the opposite direction of
travel will cause the scooter to come to an abrupt stop, and if held
continuously in the opposite direction may cause erratic movements if
you are unfamiliar with the controls.
Your scooter is equipped with two types of brake systems:
•
Regenerative brakes
–
when the throttle is returned to the centre position, or stop
neutral position, regenerative brakes use electricity to quickly decelerate the
vehicle.
•
Park brake
–
once the scooter comes to a complete stop the park brake
activates automatically locking the drive wheels.
