To apply the hand brake on a scooter, you first have to press the left brake lever completely. After this, you have to lift the small lever given in front of the brake lever upwards with the help of one of your fingers. After doing this, the brake gets applied to the rear wheel of the scooter. This is done to lock the wheels of the scooter, because they do not have a manual gear box. With its help, the movement of the vehicle can be locked without applying the brake.

In recent times, clip systems are being seen in place of hand brake levers in many scooters. Their function is also similar to that of a hand brake lever. You can use it by pressing the left brake and applying the brake in the same direction.
