Brake Pedal
The brake pedal is the wider black pedal on the left. Depress the pedal to apply the brakes.
The amount of pedal pressure directly correlates to the amount of vehicle braking. The
vehicle will also slightly “brake” due to a regenerative braking when the vehicle is at speed
and the accelerator is not depressed. No brake pedal input is required. This applies only to
the rear wheels and is more prominent on the standard DC drive system than the optional AC
system. This can also slightly recharge the battery pack, which can help to extend vehicle’s
range.
*Note:
The optional AC drive vehicles are equipped with electronic assist braking which
adds extra regenerative braking power when the brake pedal is depressed and as a result does
not take as much brake pedal force to stop the vehicle.
