Braking Correctly The Mantis scooter has dual front and rear disc brakes. For braking, use the rear brake first for decelerating (the left braking lever on the handle bar) before engaging the front brake (the right lever) to come to a full stop. When travelling at higher speeds, exercise caution when braking as the brakes are sensitive. This is especially true for the front brake as you risk falling over the handle bar if your center of gravity is too high while performing a hard stop with the front brake alone. Mechanical Disc Brake Check – Mantis 17.5Ah Pull the brake lever and ensure there is sufficient tension on the disc brake before riding. Check frequently to ensure brakes are working properly. In case there is not sufficient tension on the brake, you can tighten it a little with the barrel adjuster (the plastic turning bolt at the end of the brake cable, just before it enters the caliper): - To increase brake tension, turn the barrel adjuster backwards so that the caliper arm moves closer to the barrel adjuster. - Don’t forget to tighten the nut afterwards so that the barrel adjuster stays safely in place. If this does not do the trick or you have any doubts or concerns, please contact a local bike shop for help or reach out to your place of purchase. Hydraulic Disc Brake Check – Mantis PRO 24.5Ah Pull the brake lever and ensure there is sufficient tension on the disc brake before riding. Check integrity of hydraulic systems frequently (no leakage of oil) to ensure brakes are working properly. 13
