BRAKING SYSTEM
Regenerative Braking System: When you release the accelerator grip, for
example when travelling down slopes or up hills, the motor provides a reverse
pull effect, rapidly bringing your vehicle to a stop.
Electro Magnetic Brake: This is an automatic safety device, which locks the
motor once the vehicle has stopped moving, it prevents it from rolling even if
the power is switched off.
The brake lifts off as the accelerator is turned to move forward and re-applies
when the accelerator returns to its resting position.
To enable the vehicle to be pushed without battery power there is a free wheel
device fitted to your vehicle. By removing the battery cover you will see a lever
at the top of each of the two electric drive motors (see below), turn them
clockwise as far as they will go, you are now able to push your vehicle. There
will however still be some resistance against the motor.
Note: Ensure you return the brake release levers to there original
position, by turning the levers fully counter-clockwise, before
driving the vehicle.
