- Braking and parking
Good coordination between the throttle and the FRONT and
REAR brakes is very important.
- Reduce your speed by allowing the throttle to return
- Pull on the rear and front brakes
Braking is less efficient if you only use one brake.
Excessive braking may lock a wheel and make you lose
control of your vehicle!
When descending a steep gradient, cut back the
throttle completely and use both brakes to reduce
your speed and maintain control of your machine.
Avoid using the brakes continuously, overheating will
reduce braking efficiency and may cause an accident.
