FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Brakes

Foot Brake

The foot brake (1) is a

mechanical rear wheel brake.

The foot brake is located on

the inside of the right

footrest. Apply the brake

with your right foot. This is

identical to squeezing the left

brake lever on the handlebar.

NOTE: If the rear wheels

slide while using the

foot brake, reduce

brake pedal pressure to

brake the rear wheels without skidding.

WARNING

Aggressively applying the rear brake when backing down a hill

may cause rear tipover, which could result in serious injury or

death.
Use caution when applying the rear brake. Do not aggressively

apply the rear brake when going forward. The rear wheels may

skid and slide sideways, causing loss of control and serious injury

or death.
