ACTUATION AND USAGE
Actuating
Insert the ignition key into its slot and turn it to the on position.
Acceleration and Deceleration
• Turn the throttle lever downwards. In this case, your vehicle will move.
The speed can be increased or decreased with the throttle. Turn the throttle in
direction (a) to increase your speed, or (b) to decrease speed.
Braking
There are braking sensors in the brake lever. In this way, the brakes both
provide mechanical braking as well as cut the energy of the motor.
• Grasp the brake lever with your fingers and gently squeeze it towards you.
• Slowly loosen the brake lever to stop braking.
• Avoid sudden and hard braking. Otherwise, your vehicle may slip and cause
accidents.
• Be careful when braking on downhill descents.
Front and Rear Brake
The brake system of your vehicle is equipped with front and rear drum brake
system. The front and rear brake is activated with the brake lever on the handlebar.
For braking, the brake lever free travel distance should be 5-10 mm. After this
distance, the braking process should start.
CAUTION
• The throttle must be released while squeezing the brake levers.
• You can experience the brake sensitivity. For safer deceleration, front and rear brakes should be
used together.
• If the brakes are used for a long time, the brake kits get hot and their performance decreases.
This, in turn, can increase your braking distance and aect your safe braking.
• Brake pads should always be replaced with original products. Low quality parts can damage
other parts of the vehicle. It also aects the performance of your vehicle.
• The braking system is vital for your safety. Have regular checks and adjustments made at
authorized services at the intervals given in the periodic maintenance chart.
