H. Throttle Control
Twist the throttle in a counter-clockwise (backward)
rotation (A) to energize the motor and start the
scooter in a forward direction. Release the throttle
and it will snap back to the neutral position, de-
energizing the motor.
When the scooter is moving, twisting the throttle
control in a clockwise rotation (B) will engage the
regen braking feature. Use regen braking, whenever
safely possible, to increase your range. Regen
braking takes some of the energy from the moving
scooter and turns it back into electrical energy.
This energy is then transferred to the battery,
contributing to increased energy efficiency. A slight
drag is felt when regen braking is activated.

Switch
When the red switch
is pressed up (A),
it will stop power to
the motor. The motor
will remain in this
state until the switch
is pressed down (B).
The switch does not
turn off all electrical
circuits, just the
operation of the motor.
This switch is a fast,
convenient method of
shutting down the scooter in an emergency or under
normal operation.
