 At what speed does the parking brake cease to operate?
I realized the electronic parking brake is located in an easy to use area right next to other switches that you may use while in motion and I got to thinking, what happens if you accidentally hit the parking brake switch while moving?
I hit it at 1 or 2 MPH and it stopped the bike immediately. I tried it in the parking garage at work at 10 MPH and it did nothing. I assume that is a safety issue as if you were going at speed and the brakes all the sudden locked up you could lose control.
Curious if anyone knows the exact speed it ceases to operate?

According to MOM, the parking brake cannot be activated when the vehicle is above 10km/h (6mph).

Sorry! But I just can't help it... my parking brake operates at any speed if you put your foot on it...  Really leary of electronic devises controlling vital things, but it is the way of the future. Hope to be too old to know or gone when you can't operate your own vehicles....

On my 2023 F3-L, what would happen if I accidentally hit the parking brake button instead of the mode button while I'm traveling down the highway? The buttons are close together, and mistakes can happen. Has anyone tried this accidentally or on purpose? I didn't know if BRP what thoughtful on their programming, and disabled the parking brake at speed.

The Operators Guide for my 2024 Spyder RT has a PARKING BRAKE BUTTON section on Page 22.
There's a CAUTION box on the page that has this text:
To avoid personal injury or vehicle
damages, the parking brake cannot
be activated when the vehicle
is running above 10 km/h (6 mi/h).

Yes, it’s amazing how many questions can be answered via a simple thumb through of the operator’s guide, raccoon.

we live in age of internet now that requires a question on a forum rather than looking in operators guide or manual yourself to find the answer. Questions first before spending time to look it up

6 mph is (I believe!), the magic number... 
This one goes back to May/2014. Other than the four who posted today, the others are all gone from the site and the thread has been dormant since May of 2014.
