Standard Brakes (User or Assistant)
The K2 comes with cable operated ratchet brakes as standard. These can be
mounted beside the front wheels for user operation, on the handlebars or on
handlebar extensions for assistant operation (as below).
These brakes operate exactly the same way as standard bike brakes. Pulling the
brake levers towards you, engages the brakes and releasing the brake levers
release the brakes. Each wheel is operated independently and we recommend the
smooth application of both brakes simultaneously for controlled stopping. Each
brake has a ratchet lock which can be used to lock the wheels in position. We
highly recommend engaging the lock when transferring in/out of the chair. To
engage the lock, pull the brake levers back then push the locking brackets
