B. Headlight High/Low Beam
Switch
When the switch is pushed, the
headlight will change from low
beam to high beam. It will stay
in the selected position until it is
switched back. When in high
beam position, the high beam indicator on the
instrument panel will illuminate.
C. Front Brake Lever
The front brake lever controls the front brake when
the lever is squeezed. When braking, the throttle
should be in the closed position. The brake light will
also illuminate.
A. High Beam Flash-to-Pass
When the headlight is in the low beam position, push
the flash-to-pass switch and the high beam will
illuminate and will stay illuminated until the switch is
released. When released, this switch will default back
to the low beam position. The high beam indicator
will also illuminate.
D. Throttle Control
Twist the throttle in a counter-clockwise rotation (A) to
energize the motor and start the motorcycle in a
forward direction. Release the throttle and it will snap
back to the closed position (B), de-energizing the
motor, and regenerative braking will begin.
When the motorcycle is moving and the throttle
control is in the fully closed position, the regenerative
braking feature will activate. Regenerative braking
takes some of the energy from the moving motorcycle
and turns it back into electrical energy. This energy is
then stored back into the power pack, contributing to
increased energy efficiency. A slight drag is felt when
the regenerative braking is activated. If you want to
coast without the regenerative braking, hold the
throttle just off of the fully closed position.
