Motor Braking System
Your scooter is equipped with a system that uses the motor to aid in braking. This Motor
Brake system is designed to work when the key is in either the On position or the Off position.
When the key is in the On position, the freewheel is in the engaged position, and the scooter
is under power, the motor will help slow down the scooter as soon as you take your hand off
of the throttle lever.
