Brakes
There are 3 braking systems. The first works with the finger controls. When the finger control is released the
scooter will automatically brake and bring the scooter to a stop. When the scooter stops the automatic parking
brake will engage. This will stop the vehicle rolling forward or backward. When you start the brake will automatically
disengage. If the battery should go flat the brakes automatically engage. Note that even when freewheel is
selected, a secondary regenerative braking system is applied automatically to limit the maximum speed. You
may notice this system causing drag when moving the scooter in freewheel mode.
The third braking system is a is a mechanical brake that can be used in
emergencies. This braking system is controlled by pulling/compressing the
lever on the right hand side of the handle bars/ tiller (see Fig.5). The more
pressure you apply to the lever the heavier the braking effect will be.
Tip:
If you wish to lock this braking system on permanently to act as a
supplementary parking brake, you may do this by first pulling/
compressing the lever and then by pushing down on the latch pin.
Release the lever and the brake will stay engaged. (Fig.6). Remember to
always disengage the locking latch before use by compressing the lever
fully. The latch pin will automatically disengage.
