Somebody who "rides" the brake is constantly applying pressure to the brake pedal with their foot. People who tailgate ride their brake alot. "Covering" the brake is a form of defensive driving. For example, while proceeding through a traffic light, you would want to take your foot off of the gas pedal and place it just above the brake pedal (without applying pressure) to decrease your reaction time in case you need to brake suddenly.

Does an mgp flex brake work when you step on it or is it like a fake brake?
It is a fake brake! If you are riding on a flat dry surface it works, but gets super hot. If you are riding on a hill or wet surface it just doesn't work. Wrote to MGP about this. They replied with a picture of the safety sticker which says the scooter should not be used in the wet or on hills. They also suggested I buy a new brake (which is the type they used before the flex brake). My advice. Do not get MGP with a flex brake.

Brakes adjusted to tightly, or the emergency brake lever is adjusted too tightly. Another possibility is you are riding the brake pedal, or the wheel cylinder is sticking.
