Low deceleration values produce a gentle stop but increase the braking distance. High 
deceleration values produce a more aggressive stop but can be uncomfortable. Adjust this 
parameter to the preference of the user.  
 

 

Note: 

This parameter cannot be set higher than the value of the 

Deceleration Limit 

parameter (4.4.4.6) that has been set by the scooter manufacturer. 

 

Warning:
