Anti-tip 
Mounted in the back of the scooter, this mechanism stops the scooter from tipping over backward.  Some scooters models require  anti - tip wheels to meet safety standards. Breeze scooters pass all international safety standards without the addition of anti -tip wheels. 

Shock Absorbers 
Installed in the Breeze is an advanced shock absorption system, as used in motorcycles. The system uses both spring and hydraulic absorbers for keeping your ride safe and smooth.

Automatic Brake 
An electro magnetic brake installed on the motor stops the vehicle automatically when the driver releases the throttle.

Battery Gauge 
Displays the status of your batteries at any given time. 

Power Unit 
Afi scooters use leading edge trans-axle technology with fewer moving parts. This ensures quiet, reliable safe operation.Some other makes and models use a lightweight noisy drive unit.

Advanced Steering System 
Afiscooters  have an advanced steering system similar to those used in the auto industry. Thus the vehicle is more stable, comfortable, easy to steer less tiring on your arms shoulders and back.

Turn Radius 
The smaller the radius is, the easier it is for the scooter to maneuver tight corners. The turning radius of a scooter is the radius of the smallest circular turn (i.e. U-turn) that the scooter is capable of making. It is commonly used to mean the full diameter of the smallest circle.  Not all manufactures us this as format.  Some manufacturers quote a measurement that is 50% of the turning circle.

Chassis 
A metal frame that contributes to the scooter's stability and safety.  AfiScooters manufacture to the highest standards.   The quality of the steel chassis varies considerably in other makes and models.  

Ergonomic Design 
AfiScooters have an ergonomic design, easily adapted to driver's physical condition and abilities. This is to ensure the driver can use the scooter easily and safely.

EMI 
Like any other electrical vehicle, the scooters electrical circuits create a minor, harmless radiation. For precise information, please see the user manual for your scooter.
