Is the front brake of an electric vehicle on the left or right hand?
1 Answers
For electric vehicles, the right side is the front brake, and the left side is the rear brake. The rear brake of an electric vehicle is on the left, while the front brake is on the right. Generally, using the rear brake is sufficient for normal braking. In emergency situations, it is best to use both brakes. Before riding, always check whether the braking performance of both the front and rear brakes is good. Slow down when driving in rainy weather or on downhill slopes, and brake in advance if necessary to prevent excessive speed. The lifespan of electric vehicle brakes is typically only two to three years, so regular maintenance is essential. Unlike motorcycles and cars, electric vehicles do not undergo annual inspections. If the rider does not pay attention to maintenance, the brakes can become a safety hazard. Tips for checking the brakes: Hold the handlebars with both hands and apply the left and right brakes separately while pushing and pulling the electric vehicle back and forth. The wheels should not rotate during this test. When the brake levers are released, the braking system should quickly reset. After turning the throttle and starting the motor, applying the brakes should immediately cut off power to the motor.
