3) Brake Lever

Located on the left side of handlebar. When
the brake lever is compressed, the front and
rear brakes are applied. When released, the
brake lever should automatically return to its
original position. Braking effect is proportional
to the force applied on the lever and to the
type and condition of the terrain.
NOTE: As on other wheeled vehicles, the ve-
hicle weight is transferred to the front wheels
when braking. To obtain greater stopping effi-
ciency, the brake system distributes more
braking force to the front wheels. This will af-
fect vehicle handling and steering control
when braking vigorously. Take it into account
when braking.
