AMDifficulty 3/5

On a long descent with a moped or light quadricycle that has selectable gears, what is advisable for controlling speed?

Correct answer

Control speed with a suitable gear

Select a gear appropriate for the descent and use brakes as needed without overloading them. Do not coast in neutral or wait until the end to brake abruptly. The question assumes selectable gears: operate an automatic or CVT vehicle according to manufacturer guidance rather than inventing a gear selection it does not have.
