Stopping
Engage the brakes by squeezing the brake lever. Try to use even pressure to avoid
jarring stops. Under wet conditions, stopping distance is increased because tires do not
grip as well. Ride more slowly and brake earlier in wet or icy conditions.
Parking
Remember to always engage the parking brake and turn the wheels toward curb when
parking the ELF. The parking brake should aid in immobilizing your ELF, but additional
steps may need to be taken to prevent rolling, particularly on steep or slippery terrain.
Always make sure your ELF is securely parked before leaving.
The parking brake is a simple loop on the end of the right-side handgrip. To activate
the parking brake, squeeze the brake lever, then slide the loop around the end of the
brake lever to keep the brakes engaged.
