8. When slowing down the scooter
coordination of the throttle (3), front brake (4)
and rear brake (Incase of Activa
Standard)/combi brake (Incase of Activa
Deluxe) (5) is most important.
Both front and rear brake (Incase of Activa
Standard) /combi (Incase of Activa
Deluxe) brakes should be applied together.
Independent use of only the front or rear brake
reduces stopping performance.
Excessive brake application may cause
either wheels to lock, or loss of control
on scooter.
Do not accelerate while applying
brakes. This may result severe
damage of the related parts
