How should you brake if you ride a moped in a mountainous area?

How should you brake if you ride a moped in a mountainous area?
Explanation

Correct answer: By using both brakes and braking with the engine.

Driving in mountainous terrain, as shown in the picture, is characterised by long descents that require constant speed control. Using engine braking reduces the load on the braking system, preventing it from overheating and losing its effectiveness. The simultaneous, skilful use of both brakes (front and rear), however, provides the greatest braking force and vehicle stability on steep and winding sections of road.
