Perfect! I got a new scooter two days ago and the brake pad was rubbing on and off against the disc and this video he’ll me figured it out. Thank you!!
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! I just replaced the entire braking system on my TurboAnt V8 but the brake was rubbing, A LOT. Your video helped me make the adjustments needed, and now I feel like I CAN DO ANYTHING! (Related to brakes on scooters.)
Thanks for the help, I watched another tutorial and after following it my brake was looser than before. With your video in 1 minute my brake is better than it ever was. Thank you agajn😊
Thanks man, i finally got my brakes to work better. Before i repaired it i had to hold the break fully and it still wouldnt break that good, but now i hold the break halfly and it already brakes. Thank you! Subbed and Liked!
To replace my rear fender latch spring on my Hiboy S2 Pro, I had to remove my rear wheel. After reassembly, my rotor was rubbing. This video helped me fix it quickly, thanks!
I couldn't do the first method because the screws would not come undone. I thought I was doomed until I did method two and it worked!! Thanks, you saved my bacon. I have to ride this thing down a big hill that always has lots of traffic. I was fearing the worst if I wasn't able to get it fixed myself. This is my only transport to work!! Thank you thank you!!
This video was extremely helpful. It taught me exactly what I needed to know in order to align and adjust my brakes after changing the rear wheel. Thank you for the video.
this is the best tutor on youtube,,,,,my problem is finally solved thankyou.... it became kind of or fight or victory depending on how to find it after those other pointless movies or hard to find vids.....👍🤔🤔🤔
Unfortunately we haven’t tested either of those scooters, so I don’t know. Almost all electric scooters which use cable-driven disc brakes are very similar to what’s shown here. -Paul
Thanks was confused for months how to tighten my front disc brakes. All along wasn't using the correct screws to loosen the caliper full position, was instead using the screws to hold it into place LOL. After this video i finally understood this : D
Hi there! My electric scooter Gotrax Gxl V2 rear wheel is sometimes touching the brake disc even when im not pressing the brake handle, can you post a video about this fix?
if its new, might be from a bent disk. if its after adjustment, adjust your right pad while tire is turning as in 5:38, or it might happen because you tighten brake wire too much and left pad starts to touch disk.
I have 3 questions 1. I have the gotrax g4 and it says in the manual to inflate tires to 50PSI but tires say 36, what should I do? The main thing I want is that the tires should last for as long as possible, i don't care about comfort 2. Is there any way I can make it engage just the regenerative braking when I push breakes a bit, and when I push harder it also activates disc brake? 3. Tightening the brakes, will it decrease or increase range? And will it increase or decrease the lifespan of the breaks?
This is what youtubers in general need to learn, pedagogic, several logic steps, good close camera and... what seems to be a youtuber decease: Not talk like adhd-speed and almost shouting. /Thanks
I've adjusted my brother in laws scooter. The rear brake pads I can see have a gap on each side, but when I lift the scooter up and spin, it still feels like something is slowing the rear wheel down. I've released the wire. It still does it. I've checked the mud guard, and it feels close but still free. Are some electric scooters meant to have some friction?
Thankyou ,instantly fixed my brakes ,that were getting slightly loose this worked perfect,mine has a spring i pushed up and it tightened my brakes back to perfect, Perfectly aligned no grinding either
So there is a little silver power button looking thing underneath the battery carriage that I'm not 100 % sure what it does. It's not a Dulatron, but I'm guessing it's to cut off the main power? It pushes in and out like a power switch. It's in the left side ooo5of where the plug input is, and whatver the othe circular thing next to it does.
Could you PLEASE 🙏 do a guide on how to adjust breaks on the new Pro 4 model? I nearly died today going down hill. And how to adjust the stem on it as well, it already making that creaking sound after only 20 miles. Thank you.
Hi, the rear wheel of my Hiboy S2PRO only rub (sounds like metal on metal) when I am riding. It spins freely when off the ground which makes it very difficult to diagnose. Any insightful tips in this aspect?
The sound goes away when there isn't any weight on it? A certain amount of dragging noise is normal from disc brakes. Do you feel like it's dragging in addition to making noise? -Paul
Same problem. Brand new scooter makes a “metal on metal” sound coming from the front wheel. I think the disc brake is rubbing on something. Happens when I’m not on the scooter, too, and just rolling it forward. I’ll try the advice around the 3-min timestamp to fix this.
New scooter and I adjusted them as you show and they are still mushy and still need to be pulled basically all the way down. I can't take up any more slack without them rubbing. Thanks in advance for any advice.
I just bought a TIF Galop T-108 scooter with Hydraulic disk brakes and both front and rear grip to strongly. There is no sweet spot. It's all or nothing. ow do you get the brakes to be less grippy?

Hey! So recently a super small part of my E scooters disc brake has chipped, and I don’t know what to do since it’s metal and I can’t really fix it. It’s causing a ringing bell noise whenever I spin the wheel because of that chipped part. Does anyone know what I should do
Hi there. No brakes on electric scooter. I’ve tried adjusting the brake cable multiple times. After 2-3 applications of the brakes, they just loosen right up again. Any help would be truly appreciated. Thanks, Laurie
Is the cable getting loose? Check and make sure the cable clamp is getting a good grab on the cable. If you're using the adjusters (twisting them), you may have reached the end of travel of the adjusters. What model of scooter do you have? -Paul
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide i have no brakes in the front just a rear disc brake with 2 brake pads so the rear is the only one i use. Is ur reason still the same in my situation where i only have a brake in the rear
Let me know how it goes! Also check both ends of the cable to make sure it hasn't been pulled half way out of the socket. That can make your brakes drag too.
Really great video! The original video from the brand that i bought my scooter from, lacks all the details that you go through, and adding what tools to use, as they only give you 2 different size keys to it...
I got my Electric romobil and it isnt good, when I brake it turns tokyo drift mode but all my friends's romobiles brakes are Excellent and their brakes Instantly, please help
a solid advice for everyone, tightening brake tire too much seems a better idea to you if you think you dont need regenerative brake or tail lights; that causes brake wire to snap too early than it should. i snapped once in a downhill and thank god for those regenative break on motor. dont worry, when wire's life comes to end, you can feel the thinner-wrapped-wires snapping one by one when you breaking. when it happens, GET YOURSELF A SPARE WIRE ASAP!!! also dont worry x2: changing brake wire is the most easy one in this models. any other bicycle mtb wire do, but be sure they are no shorter than exactly 200mm long. loose wire from caliper, squeeze break and pull out the head of the wire from its slot, reverse process on new wire and you are good to go. shouldnt take more than 2 or 3 minutes.
May I suggest 2. My front wheel does a flap-flap-flap noise every revolution. It's not a metallic sound, sounds like something rubbery. But it's not the valve cap. When I tighten the bolts on the wheel, it reduces a bit. But it never did that in the begining. Perhaps knocking my wheel a few times a bit hard on cracks in the pavement did this? Second, how do you repair a tailight wire that was likely damaged by pressing the fender on the wheel to open the scooter? The front light turns on but not the tailight. XR Elite (Gotrax) scooter. Thought these issues might be common enough. :p
