26 VECTRIX ZEV OWNER’S MANUAL
The Vectrix Zero-Emission Vehicle includes a
patented regenerative (regen) braking throttle
which is easy to use and will improve your riding
experience. In the regen mode the motor acts as a
generator to apply a load/braking to the rear wheel
while returning energy into the battery pack.
FRONT BRAKE LEVER
To operate the front brake, pull the right hand
brake lever towards the twist grip. The braking is
hydraulically operated, so you need not pull hard on
the lever. Instead squeeze steadily and smoothly.
REAR BRAKE LEVER
To operate the rear brake, pull the left hand brake lever
towards the twist grip. The braking is hydraulically
operated, so you need not pull hard on the lever.
Instead squeeze steadily and smoothly.
BRAKING
PROPER BRAKING
Always ‘cover’ the front brake lever with the index
and middle fingers of your right hand when using
regenerative braking to slow the vehicle. This will
ensure that you are ready to apply the front brake
if it becomes necessary to slow the vehicle more
quickly. Never use the rear brake lever (on the left
handlebar) by itself or with regenerative braking
without also using the front brake lever (on the right
handlebar). Using only the rear brake may result in
the rear tire sliding, particularly when regen is used.
Be ready to pull both the front and rear brake levers
(which actuate the front and rear disc brakes) at all
times while riding, including while using regenerative
braking. See the REGEN section of this Manual on
Page 14 for proper use of regenerative braking.
