Discussion:
Should motor be running as soon as key is 'on' and pad is stepped on?

I'm not sure if this is correct but should should there be a motor running (not sure which motor it is) as soon as the key is 'on' and the pressure pad is stepped on? Or should there only be a motor running when an input is given on the control handle?

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
