B. HANDLEBAR HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Adjustable Fit – Handlebar height adjusts from 34" – 40" to fit most riders over 4 feet tall. Most riders will find the fit
comfortable with the handlebar height in the range of the rider’s hips when standing on the scooter deck.
HEIGHT ADJUST QUICK RELEASE
Your scooter is equipped with a Height Adjust Quick Release that allows you to quickly change the height of your handlebar.
See Section 4,“Operator Fit,” for details.
C. BRAKES
Your scooter is equipped with front and rear brakes. Be sure that you understand how your scooter’s brakes work before you take
your first ride. Reading and understanding the information below will assist you.
WARNING: Sudden or excessive application of the front brake may throw the rider over the handlebar,
causing serious injury. For the most effective braking, use both brakes and apply them at the same time.
1. HOW THE BRAKES WORK
It’s important for your safety that you instinctively know which brake lever controls which brake on your scooter. On your
scooter, the right brake lever controls the rear brake, and the left brake lever controls the front brake.
The braking action of a scooter is a function of the friction between the brake surfaces – usually the brake shoes to the wheel
rim or a band brake to a wheel/hub assembly. Regardless, you need to make sure that you have maximum friction available.
Keep your wheel rims and brake shoes clean and free of lubricants, waxes or polishes.
Make sure that your hands can reach and squeeze the brake levers comfortably. If your hands are too small to operate the
levers comfortably,
do not ride the scooter.
Brakes are designed to control your speed, not just to stop the scooter. Maximum braking force for each wheel occurs at the
point just before the wheel “locks up” (stops rotating) and starts to skid. Once the tire skids, you actually lose most of your
stopping force and all directional control.You need to practice slowing and stopping smoothly without locking up a wheel.
