BRAKE LEVERS
The brake control levers are mounted on the handlebar. (Fig. 10)
Left (1) lever controls the rear wheel brake and regenerative braking.
Right (2) lever controls the front wheel brake.
REGENERATIVE BRAKE
The left brake lever not only controls the rear mechanical brake, but it also controls
the regen braking. To activate regen braking you only need to depress the lever
slightly to activate the switch. Regen is very eective in not only stopping the bike
but also recharging the battery. If you are able to use the regen brake to safely
stop the bike every time you can dramatically increase your range. The sensitivity
of this braking will be fully adjustable in the upcoming mobile application. Warning:
regenerative braking should not be used as a reliable means of stopping the bike.
While it works almost every time regen braking can stop working suddenly especially
if the battery is near a full charge because there is nowhere for the energy to go. Also
when applying regen your throttle will be killed. So when you release the regen brake
lever make sure you are not giving the throttle any power. For these reasons always
use regen braking with extreme caution.

GO FARTHER BY BRAKING
The key to going the farthest
the bike is capable of is using
regen braking. When able to
brake safely try using regen
braking only to recharge the
battery while you are riding. If
you are an absolute machine
you can try holding the regen
brake and pedal at the same
time to attempt to charge the
bike. Good Luck!
