Brake Release / Freewheel Operation  
 

The brake release lever is situated at the right rear of the scooter. This lever allows you to 
disengage the drive mechanism and push the scooter in ‘freewheel’ mode. To 
disengage the drive, push the lever down (1) and toward (2) to the front of the scooter 

as shown in the image below. The scooter can now be pushed. 
Simply push the lever toward the back of the scooter to re-engage the drive 

mechanism (the scooter can now be driven). The scooter will not operate when the 
lever is in the disengaged position. The scooter must be turned off and on by the key 

switch to reset the circuits before it will resume normal operation. The status led will flash 
continually if the brake is disengaged when it is switched on. 

Caution! Never leave the scooter unattended 
whilst in freewheel mode as it will roll away down 
an incline. ‘Freewheel’ mode should only be used 
in an emergency to move the scooter due to 
power failure. NEVER move the scooter in this 
mode whilst it is occupied. NEVER tow the scooter. 

When in freewheel mode the scooter may be 
pushed on level ground at a walking pace. The 
scooter will ‘auto-brake’ if this speed is exceeded. 
 
 
 
NEVER sit on the scooter and freewheel down a hill as this can cause permanent 
damage to the motor, brake and controller due to excessive regenerative braking. As 
above the scooter can only be moved at a walking pace when in freewheel mode.
