Usage Features
Height Adjustment
To adjust the handgrip height:
- Press the red release buttons on the handgrips.
- Pull the handgrip upwards at the same time.
- Release the button as the handle moves; it will automatically lock into the next possible height.

Braking and Locking

- Applying Locks (while stationary): Press both brake levers down to apply the locks.
