Combined brake and regenerative brake
This scooter is equipped with a combined braking system that works as follows:
The right brake mechanically brakes the front wheel (with the disc brake), while the left brake mechanically brakes the front and rear wheels (by applying force
to both discs, thanks to a braking distribution system). Both sides electronically activate the regenerative brake of the rear wheel. Both levers are adjustable
(see “Adjusting the brake lever” section).
With regards to the regenerative brake, it can be activated by lightly pressing each lever, using it without needing to apply the mechanical brake. Then both
brakes are activated together. Using the regenerative brake helps braking while maintaining battery charge.
The regenerative brake applied depends on the driving mode selected, (see “DRIVING MODES”):
o The regenerative brake is activated when either of the two levers is pressed.
This system brakes the rear wheel electronically and regenerates energy in the battery:
o If you continue to press the brake lever, the mechanical brake on the front wheel will also be engaged (or both, if you press the left lever); the greater
the pressure applied, the greater the mechanical braking power.
o The regenerative brake is also applied, to a lesser extent, when you stop accelerating (depending on the selected mode).
