Stopping/Braking

To brake, release the THROTTLE GRIP and depress the BRAKE LEVER on
the left side of the handlebar. Depressing the brake will disengage power to
the motor. When the unit feels like it is loosing power or not accelerating to
full speed, the scooter is ready to be re-charged.

BRAKING SYSTEM

The EW-700 uses a hub brake system on the rear wheel of the scooter
activated by a hand brake lever on the left side of the handlebar. Squeezing
the hand brake lever with your left hand activates the rear brake. Make sure
to release the HAND THROTTLE GRIP when engaging the brake.
Practice braking on a smooth, dry surface to get used to the feel of the braking
system. Braking distance is affected by wet conditions and loose and uneven
riding surfaces.
Adjusting the Brakes
The Brakes on the EW-700 should come fully adjusted from the factory.
However, it may be necessary to adjust the brakes from time to time.
