14. IMPORTANT COMPONENTS
14.1 BRAKES
To adjust the brake lever throw, turn the brake cable adjuster in or out until
the desired brake adjustment is attained. The adjuster for the front brake
is located on the brake cable guide (noodle) and for the rear brake it is
located on the brake caliper. As seen on the images below. If the brakes
require further adjustment, visit a qualified service specialist to do so.
Your Stigo scooter is equipped with a disc brake for maximum reliability
and efficiency. Applying hand pressure to the brake lever will cause the
brake pads to apply friction against the brake rotor, slowing down the
wheel. The more pressure applied, the faster it will come to a stop. Once
you have eased off the throttle, pull the brake lever towards you to slow
down and stop. The rear brake is capable of locking the wheel and throwing
an unsuspecting rider off balance. Practice in an open area free from
obstacles until you are familiar with the brake functions. Avoid skidding the
tires, as this can cause you to lose control and/or damage the tires.
In the event that an emergency stop is required, apply both brakes in a safe
and controlled way until you have brought the Stigo to a complete stop. Do
not release the brakes until it is safe to do so.
