STOPPING & BRAKING
To brake, release the THROTTLE GRIP and depress the BRAKE LEVERS (on the
left/right side of the handlebars. Depressing the brake will disengage power to the motor.
When the unit feels like it is loosing power or not accelerating to full speed, the scooter is
ready to be re-charged.
BRAKING SYSTEM
The XP-707 uses a front and rear caliper braking system. A hand brake lever on the left
and right side of the handlebar activates them both. Squeezing the hand brake lever with
your left hand activates the rear brake. Squeezing the hand brake lever with your right
hand activates the front 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.
ADJUSTING THE BRAKES
The Brakes on the XP-707 should come fully adjusted from the factory.
However, it may be necessary to adjust the brakes from time to time.

To adjust the brakes:
For brakes that are adjusted too tight:
1. Loosen the tension screw on the
left right hand brake lever by
rotating it counter-clockwise until
the wheel spins freely. (Fig. 7
For brakes that are adjusted too loose:
2. Tighten the tension screw on the
left hand brake lever by rotating it
clockwise until the wheel has a
slight drag. (Fig. 7)
For further adjustment, locate the
caliper mounted at the front and rear
wheels and perform the following
procedure:
1. With one hand, depress the brake
caliper using your thumb and
forefinger (Fig.8).
2. With the other hand, adjust the
tension screw on the brake line until
the desired tensions is obtained.
