Freewheel Mode
Your Golden Companion is equipped with a
freewheel lever that can set your scooter in or
out of freewheel mode. The freewheel lever
engages your park brake.
To disengage the brake and put your scooter
in freewheel mode:
Push the brake handle in the direction of
“disengage” on the label. See figure 11.
To engage the brake and take your scooter
out of freewheel mode:
Push the brake handle in the direction of
“engage” on the label. See figure 10.
Pushing the scooter too quickly in freewheel
will cause the motor to act as a generator
causing the scooter to become difficult to
push. Freewheel slowly.
