Operating your Scoota
Fig. 12
ESBS
Handbrake
Braking
To stop the Scoota simply release
the Wig-Wag control, whilst
keeping your hands on the
handlebar. Two types of braking
will automatically operate
(a) Automatic regenerative
braking, which slows the
Scoota to a standstill and
(b) Automatic braking which will
operate a short while after
releasing the control lever and
holds the Scoota in position,
even if you are on a hill.
This is not instantaneous and
will engage in approx. 1/2 a
wheel turn.
Emergency Braking
In the unlikely event of an
unwanted movement of the
Scoota, using the ESBS
handbrake or switching off at the
key will bring the Scoota to a stop.
The Emergency Secondary
Braking System (ESBS) is
operated by using the handbrake
on the tiller (Fig. 12) which will slow
the scoota to a controlled stop.
Though very effective,
emergency braking is extremely
abrupt and must never be used in
normal use.
Switching off
The Scoota must always be
switched off at the key.
Note: When the Scoota is not in
use for a long period of time
always disconnect the batteries
unless they are being charged.
