How to stop
Step 1
Use of rear drum brake + Electric ABS Electric ABS function is designed into
all MINIMOTORS products. Before using the scooter, please check if the ABS
function turns on or not. It’s available to select the function on or off by
yourself.
Step2
Use of rear drum brake + Electric ABS Attention to using the brake gently
first, don’t brake suddenly. When you brake gently, the ABS function starts.
This will be very effective in reducing speed. After the speed drops, the
brakes are finally applied to stop the scooter.
Tip
Check for safe braking
For safe braking, check whether the brake lever and drum brake connection are
damaged before and after driving(wire damage, external breakage, etc). And
check brake wear and looseness of brake inner core liner wire). In the case of
hydraulic brakes, it is also necessary to check the oil leakage or deficiency
and always check that the braking force is sufficient. Due to various factors
such as road surface condition and speed, the brake can’t stop the scooter as
expected. The electric ABS function is an auxiliary function to further
increase the braking force. The user should understand the electric ABS and
consider the braking time when riding.

sure to check and operate this device. When the battery runs out, the
electronic brake will operate normally.
ABS function setting guide
All electric motorcycles are subject to sudden braking, causing the wheels to
stop spinning. As a result, the slip of the tyre causes the driver to fall,
which can cause accidents. This product is equipped with an ABS brake function
to hold the tyre lock, enabling more secure braking.
ABS function ON
Set the ABS function part Pd of the dashboard to 1.
ABS function OFF
Set the ABS function part Pd of the dashboard to 0. Pd – When the ABS function
is ON, the PA – electronic brake function is cancelled. ABS brake is an
abbreviation for the Anti-Lock Brake System. It uses the principle that
maximum static friction force is larger than kinetic friction, so the braking
distance from breaking to stopping) is shorter than that of the normal brake.
It has the advantage that the vehicle does not slip well when the wheel is
rotating. it is a brake assist system that can stop more safely without a
wheel lock and slip.
Precautions when using the ABS function
ABS has the advantage of being able to stop at the shortest braking distance
that can be
Caution
obtained from the tyres and road conditions. However, due to the principle of
repeatedly holding and releasing the brake several times in a second, a lot of
vibration occurs in the motor and the body. Repetitive vibration caused by
this may cause frequent loosening of the motor, rim, fixing part and body
fixing bolt.

Safety guidelines before driving Required checking before use
DUFLTRON mn
- Check throttle and handle
- Operate the accelerator throttle lever about 2-3 times to check whether it returns to the home position.
- Be careful that excessive throttle leaning and manipulation of tne throttle can cause malfunction due to internal parts damage.
- Check the fastening condition and clearance of the QR lever on the handle.
- Check brake and cable
- The brake braking force is sufficient to check the operating condition. If the braking force is significantly lowered, use it immediately after inspection and action.
- Check that the brake pad is not worn, that the cable is not loose, and that the cable is not damaged.
- If there is an unusual feeling or noise during operation, check for breakage, wear and deformation of the inner wire of the brake cable.
- Check that the bolts and nuts of the brake fixing parts are not loose.
- Check tyre pressure and uniaxial condition
- Check the front and rear tires for wear and punctures and check the proper air pressure (45 to 50 psi) for the tire. When the shortage of air is shortened, the possibility of puncture increases, So check away.
- It is necessary to judge the replacement time by observing the appearance of the tyre such as tyre damage, and uneven wear.
- Tightening checks such as folding part and handle part Make sure that the bolts and nuts of all parts of the product are tight and free from loosening.
- Check the fastening condition and clearance of the folding and fixing parts of the handle (folding locking pin, plastic knob indexing plunger).
In this case, stop driving immediately. If you encounter any of the following
situations while driving, stop driving immediately and contact your nearest
branch or service centre for proper measures. If you provide pictures and
videos to get an accurate diagnosis, professional counselling is available.
Unusual heating of the motor Brake braking status error Error messages on the
