Stopping and braking (continued)
Warnings:
1.
Note that stopping and braking distance is affected by the speed of the product,
conditions of the riding surface, and variable environmental elements.
2.
DO NOT RIDE ON STEEP ASCENTS OR DESCENTS. However, if the rider happens
to be riding on a descending path and needs to stop, DO NOT SUDDENLY DEPRESS
THE BRAKE LEVER with full force. Instead, LIGHTLY depress the brake lever
SEVERAL TIMES in sequence until a safe, flat location is reached where the brake
lever can be fully depressed and the product comes to a safe and complete stop.
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 throttle 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.
