ZERO 10X Magura MT4 MT5 MT7 Brake Install

Magura brakes from Germany (although they are made in Taiwan) are considered the luxury brakes of the e-scooter and electric bike world similar to how Brembo brakes are to the world of sports cars.
Fitting a set of Magura brakes onto the ZERO 10X isnt as straightforward as you might think. There are many adapters and washers you would have to play around with in order to get this performance brakes to align and tune properly.
Heres a detailed tutorial on how to install the Magura MT5, a dual piston brake onto the ZERO 10X. The same steps would apply to MT4 or MT7 brakes. Have fun!
You would need the following parts:
1. Magura brake set
2. Magura adapter to switch the left side mount to a right side mount
3. A 6mm Banjo bolt to switch the hose port
4. Royal blood bleeding oil
5. Clean Bleeding kit
6. Magura Hydraulic hose
7. Wrench
8. Compression nut, olive and needle insert for the lever
9. Needle driver to drive the needle into the hose
10. Rotor Spacer
The electric version of Magura MT4e and MT5e would just contain an extra step of connecting the electric brake wire which is not shown in this video.

If you used a 140mm rotor do you still need the adaptor IS mount? Also is that a stock Magura mtb rotor that you installed?

[@AddMeGamers]

very nice video as always :)

[@ronaldcastellanod7090]

So where did you get the banjo to fit the 6mm bolt? I have the brakes and the bolt you provided does not fit through the eye of the banjo bolt. Do i need a specific banjo? Thanks in advance

[@ianrice1778]

Very good instructions 👌

[@FalconpevSg]

Thank you! Cheers! hope it helps

[@Goodman-4525]

Also I should point out if you want to center your calipers you just leave the screws loose and squeeze the lever to clamp the pads down. Hydraulic brakes can center them selves just like that

[@cooperschiavo836]

Wow never thought of this 🤝

[@robertopagan5809]

could you tell me the name and description of the kit you used to switch the banjo bolt and hydraulic line over to the outside of the caliper? the one you have listed here is no longer valid.

Hello! Good job! One question: If I buy the Magura brakes for my 160mm brake discs for my converted Xiaomi 1s, then with the MAGURA brakes the brake hose is on the inside near the tires and that is very close to the distance to the tires. Can I, like you, unscrew this brake hose from the inside where it is originally on the brake hose, also on the inside and then clean and screw the small oil screw and then mount this oil brake hose on the outside on the brake? If I unscrew the oil screw on the outside and screw the oil hose in on the outside?? Does this work with the front and rear MAGURA 4 piston brakes? So take the oil pressure hose from the brake, which is on the inside of the tire, and screw it on the outside where the oil comes in? Because you have the hose on the outside but the original when you buy the MAGURA brakes, this oil pressure brake hose is mounted on the inside at the back and front! Can you do this without having to mount the hose on the outside? I'm ASKING you to answer this question and help me a lot! Because then I could buy the MAGURA brakes and get them tomorrow! I just need to know whether you can screw the oil hose away from the inside of the tires and onto the outside like you installed the brake hose at the rear of the outside brake. Kind regards. 👍

[@spencer2480]

Instead of moving the banjo bolt to the other side, is it possible to leave the banjo bolt as it and install it as is? Maybe with a spacer or two should lift it high enough to not effect the braking.

[@FalconpevSg]

It’s possible but the risk of tire rubbing against the hose is too high.

[@jakeb1778]

I am curious. Are there any pros/cons to the larger/thinner mtb rotor vs the stock smaller/thicker rotor. Is there a difference in pad thickness? For stock vs magura caliper/pads?

[@FalconpevSg]

very good questions. scooter hubs with their high rpms generate a ton of heat and heat is the enemy of metal as the rotors tend to get bent creating uneven braking feel. the larger/thicker rotors will prevent that.

Why does your hub motor wiring come out the end of your axle like that??

I guess for the same reason why its on the same side as brake disc so when you have to change disc, you have to disconnect cable etc. Poor design skills.

Thanks for the video, but change the camera angle while the technician is doing the install, so we can get a better visual. Again, thanks for the video.

Thanks for your feedback. Nutt brakes are actually considered the most value for money performance brakes set. Magura brakes require regular changing too as the brake pads wear out quite fast. Most high performance brake pads are like that unfortunately.
