automatically engaged. This is called "Failsafe
Braking". Also, if the batteries are flat, the brakes
are automatically applied. There may be occasions
where you may wish to move the vehicle without
power. To do this there is a Freewheel Device
fitted.
The Freewheel device (Fig.8) allows the vehicle to
be pushed without power. To activate, first locate
the lever. When standing behind the scooter, it is
located on the right-hand side of the rear of the
vehicle - See Illustration.
