BRAKING SYSTEM
The electric scooter uses a hub braking system on the rear wheel. A hand brake lever on the left
side of the handlebar activates the brakes. Squeezing the hand brake lever with your left hand will
activate the rear brake. Make sure to release the hand throttle grip when engaging the brakes.
Practice braking on a smooth, dry surface to get used to the feel of the braking system. Braking
distance is affected by wet conditions and loose and uneven riding surfaces.
If your scooter loses power or does not go to its maximum speed, it means that the battery is
discharged.
Adjusting the Brakes
The brakes on the electric scooter should come fully adjusted from the factory.
However, it may be necessary to adjust the brakes from time to time.
To adjust the rear brakes :
For brakes that are adjusted too tight :
•
Loosen the tension screw on the left-hand brake
lever by rotating it counter-clockwise until the wheel spins
freely.
For brakes that are adjusted too loose :
•
Tighten the tension screw on the left-hand brake le-
ver by rotating it clockwise until the wheel has a slight drag.
For further adjustment, Locate the adjustment screw on the
rear brake hub located on the rear wheel.
Squeaky Brakes
The brakes may squeak before they are broken in. This is normal and will not affect the function or
performance of the brakes. With continued use the squeak should go away.
