Braking
WARNING

(especially when leaning over to
one side), otherwise the motor-

●
Keep in mind that braking on
wet surfaces is much more diffi-
cult.
●
Ride slowly down a hill, as brak-
ing downhill can be very diffi-
cult.

2. Apply both front and rear brakes
simultaneously while gradually in-
creasing the pressure.
