DOs and DON'Ts while Riding
Braking Precautions
Maneuver the scooter upright before applying brakes. If the tyres lock and the scooter loses
steering ability due to excessive braking force, loosen grip on the brake lever and the tyres
will unlock helping the scooter to stabilize. Try to maintain a 1:1 ratio of front to rear
braking force on slippery roads. For your safety, do not exceed the speed limit, use the
brakes gently to maintain a safe speed while riding downhill.
Warning:
Using the front brake or rear brake only is dangerous because of possible loss of grip or
control of the scooter. Pay extra attention and use the brakes gently when riding on
damp, slippery roads, and around corners. Misuse of the brakes can cause a crash.
Attention:
I nexperienced riders tend to use the rear brake only. This will accelerate the wear of the
brake resulting in a longer braking distance.
