Stopping/Braking
To brake, release the THROTTLE GRIP and depress the BRAKE LEVER on
the LEFT side of the handlebar. Depressing the brake will disengage power
to the motor. When the unit feels like it is loosing power or not accelerating to
full speed, the scooter is ready to be re-charged.
BRAKING SYSTEM
The X-370 uses a hub brake system on the rear wheel of the scooter activated
by a hand brake lever on the left side of the handlebar. Squeezing the hand
brake lever with your left hand activates the rear brake. Make sure to release
the HAND THROTTLE GRIP when engaging the brake.
Practice braking on a smooth, dry surface to get used to the feel of the braking
system. Braking distance is affected by wet conditions and loose and uneven
riding surfaces.
Adjusting the Brakes
The Brakes on the X-370 should come fully adjusted from the factory.
However, it may be necessary to adjust the brakes and from time to time.
