Riding: Slowing/Stopping the SE-3 Patroller

WARNING

Read and understand the SE-3 Patroller User Manual before attempting to

ride. Always wear a helmet when riding the SE-3 Patroller.

1. To slow or stop the SE-3 Patroller, always use both Front and Rear

brakes (p. 24).

NOTE

Activating both brakes at the same time will remove all torque

applied by the motors. Activating only one brake (either Front or

Rear) will still allow torque to be applied by the motors.

2. Activate the brakes smoothly and evenly by squeezing the levers,

adjusting the braking pressure as needed for the braking situation

(Figure 28). Shorter, more aggressive stops require more lever

pressure, longer, slower stops require less lever pressure.

3. Keep brake pressure applied until you have slowed to the desired

speed or come to a stop.

WARNING

Do not brake too aggressively for the surface you are riding on. The tires may

lose traction, increasing the risk of an accident. Over-aggressive braking while

turning may result in a tip-over.
