!Move the tiller to the center position to drive straight ahead.
!To stop, slowly release the throttle control lever. After you release the throttle control lever, gently squeeze the handbrake (if equipped) to come to a complete stop. The electronic brakes will automatically engage when your scooter comes to a stop.
NOTE: Your scooter’s reverse speed is slower than that of the forward speed you preset with the speed adjustment dial.
