Operating your Scoota

Braking
To stop the Scoota, simply release
the control lever with your fingers,
(Fig. 24) keeping you hands on the
handlebar for stability. Two types of
braking will automatically operate:-
(i) Automatic regenerative braking
which slows the Scoota to a
standstill within 1 - 2 seconds.
(ii) Automatic disc braking which
comes in to effect about 2
seconds after releasing the
control lever and holds the
Scoota in position even if you
are on a hill.
Emergency stop
In the unlikely event of an
unwanted movement of the Scoota,
pressing the on/off button (Fig. 25),
or switching off at the key, will bring
the Scoota to an emergency stop.
Note: Whilst very effective,
emergency stopping is extremely
abrupt and not recommended in
normal use.
Switching off
The Scoota may be switched off
either at the on/off button or at the
key switch. For security purposes,
never leave the key in the Scoota if
unattended, since it can not be
operated without the key. Always
keep the spare key in a safe place.
