UsingtheBrakeswhiledriving.
The brake's main function is to slow down or to stop the e-Scooter in an emergency. The e-
Scooter has front and rear disc brakes which are the very best available for e-Scooters.
The Front brake lever is on the Right-hand Side of the handle bar, while the Rear brake lever
is on the Left Hand side of the handlebar (see figure 14)
Figure14:RearBrakeLeverandFrontBrakeLever
• It is recommended to always use both Front and Rear Brakes together (By pulling the
Rear and Front Brake levers) for the best stopping experience. The front brake will
provide the majority of the e-Scooter's stopping power.
• Experiment with usage of the brakes whilst driving slowly first, sudden aggressive use of
only the rear brake may cause the tail of the e-Scooter to slip whilst sudden aggressive use
of only the front brake may cause the driver to tilt over the handlebar.
• Avoid accelerating or braking whilst executing a turn.
• The front wheel brake is controlled by the lever on the right - hand side of the handlebar
when seated.
• The rear wheel brake is controlled by the lever on the left - hand side of the handlebar
when seated.
• The control system automatically cuts power to the motor when either brake is being
used.
During the first 40 to 50 Full stops, the brakes will wear down in a “settling in” period and for
optimal brake efficiency, an adjustment must be required at this point.
ChangingthePowerMode
The power mode lever (shifter) is located on the right side of the handlebar when seated
(See figure 12).
