B RAKES 

 

Your R8-S scooter is equipped with two powerful braking systems:  

Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns 
to the center/stop position.

Park Brake: Activates automatically after regenerative braking slows 

the vehicle to a near stop, or when power is removed from the system for any reason.  

CLI MB I NG  I N CLI N ES 

Maximum Recommended Incline Angles 

 

 

When driving up an incline, try to keep your R8-S moving. If you must stop, start up

again 

slowly, and then accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, set the speed switch to 
MIN and drive forward only. If your R8-S starts to move down the incline faster than you want, 
allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control lever, then push the throttle 
control lever forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent.  

WARNING! When on any incline, never place the R8-S in freewheel mode while seated on it or 
standing next to it.  

WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive up at an angle. Always drive your 
R8-S scooter straight up the incline. Crossing an incline greatly increases the possibility of 
tipping.
