Not familiar with that setup, mine are either foot or arm activated, but seems like a good setup. In any event, constantly turning with brakes and sometimes forgetting which tractor's which. Stomp the foot, no peddle, has lever. Grab for a lever, is no lever, has peddle. Works out in the end though. If I reached for the lever and wasn't one, then stomped for the peddle and wasn't one, would probably get so confused that would just fall off and get run over.

Try an old pre-oil pump Harley sometime. Clutch is left peddle, shifter on the tank, and pump handle on the other half of the tank which is the oil resevoir have to hand pump the gravity fed oil from the crank case back up into. Then cruise into a toll booth and forget that's the scooter you're on as reach back for the wallet, miss neutral, lift foot off the clutch to set on the ground, and scooter either takes off through the gate as you twist the throttle, or you fall over like that guy on the tricycle on the '60's show "Laugh In". Been there, done that too. Ahh, all just part of life.
