Braking system
The product uses a rear drum braking system.
The brake is activated by the brake lever on the left side of the handlebar.
When the rider releases the accelerator lever with their right thumb and depresses the
brake lever with their left hand, the brake is immediately engaged and the motor is
immediately disengaged.
Adjusting the brakes:
The brakes on your product should come fully adjusted from the factory. However, it may be
necessary to adjust the brakes from time to time.
For brakes that are too loose:
Locate the metal tension nut and tension knob connecting the brake lever to the brake cable.
Turn the tension nut inward (counterclockwise) continuously with your hand until it touches
the tension knob.
Turn the tension knob inwards (counterclockwise) until you have achieved the desired brake lever
tightness. Depress the brake lever to confirm tightness.
Turn ONLY the tension nut (not the tension knob) outward (clockwise) until it sits tightly against
the brake lever again.
Braking system (continued)
For brakes that are too tight:
Locate the metal tension nut and tension knob connecting the brake lever to the brake cable.
Turn the tension nut inward (counterclockwise) continuously with your hand until it touches the
tension knob.
Turn the tension knob outward (clockwise) until you have achieved the desired brake lever looseness.
Depress the brake lever to confirm looseness.
Turn ONLY the tension screw (not the tension knob) outward (clockwise) until it sits tightly against the
brake lever again.
For any major adjustments needed on the rear drum brake, it is recommended that you locate
a nearby license bike repair shop to assist you in properly adjusting it.

Squeaky brakes:
The brakes may squeak before they are broken in. This is normal and will not affect the function or
performance of the brakes. With continued use, the squeak should go away. If it does not, please
contact customer support for further instructions.
