Just a friendly pointer guys. Our boy Ginger made a great video here with alot of excellent points. I would just like to point out that the "Cotter pin" that holds your pads in the caliper, should "Always" be replaced when replacing the pads. When bent, these pins integrity is diminished and should "never" be reused unless its a quick fix to get home.. This is a standard practice when replacing castle nuts on automotive applications and should also be followed on any vehicle that carries your ass over 50kmh. Best of luck!

G’day Ginger, I just bought a brand new Mantis Pro and the front & rear brakes were making a scraping noise right out of the box.

Boss man Ginger love your vids as always bud just a little more realistic insight when replacing Brake Pads. Once you remove the Brake Pin from the Brake Caliper and remove the Brake Pad and Brake Shims (Metal piece that holds the Brake Pads together). You need to adjust the Brake Caliper-To-Brake Pad Tightness (at least with the NUTT Hydraulic Brake System in Solar Scooters). First you loosen the Brake Caliper-To-Brake Pad Tightness Screws so that way the Padding on the Brake Pad can fit with space to give. Once the Brake Pad & Shims are reinstalled successfully then you can adjust/tighten the Brake Caliper-To-Brake Pad Tightness to ensure that the Brake Pad has enough play between the surface of the Brake Pad and the surface of the Brake Disc so that when you squeeze on the Brake Lever the Brake Pad makes full contact with the Brake Disc.

One of the pistons was already pushing out on the my rear brake. I pushed it in flush with screwdriver pressing against it. You need to check each time the pads are off if the piston is flush or not, or you will get spongy brakes. Spongy brakes does not just mean air in the oil as I have noticed. Brake scraping is also dirt, foreign objects in the mechanism too.

Keep the 11x, its a great scooter on the streets and the transaction cost of getting a new scooter is going to be high. No scooter in the kaabo lineup has substantially more range or speed than the 11x, not worth the effort to swap.

@GingerOnWheels4 жыл бұрын
Zero issues with the Wolf asside from 1 broken screw and suspension loosing its springiness after a few thousand miles. I DID replace all the screws on the wolf with stainless hardware though so who knows what would've happened if I hadn't. The Zero 11x suspension coils can get compressed permanently if you hit large bumps too fast or land with too much weight on it, very unlikely though. Also with the Zero 11x, the model I had has 2 fuses between the battery and controllers and if you go full throttle for too long those fuse boxes can actually melt. I believe that Revrides and eWheels have fixed this by splicing out the fuses entirely, but if you plan on going full throttle for miles at a time then you may want to ask.

You probably already figured this out by now but it’s not always as simple as he makes it seem in the video. Sometimes it’s not perfect after just squeezing the handle and tightening the bolts. Sometimes you have to do small adjustments one screw at a time or torque them in a back and forth pattern so that your twisting force on the first bolt changes the angle of your calliper.

HOW TO FIX THE SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN BRAKING?
@JamiePineappleWyatt4 жыл бұрын
Oip Uyi clean your brakes and make sure there is no debris. Make sure your pads are not worn out and your rotors are true (straight, flat, not warped) These are the direct culprits of squeeling disks along with correct alignment covered in this video :)

I thought having a tire 1 inch wider than the rim was good engineering until it comes to brakes.

Try loosening the caliper from the scooter. Compare with old ones to make sure sizing is the same.

@@GingerOnWheels I took the caliper all the way off, they still wouldn’t fit. I ended up grinding them down to make them fit. Then I had brake rub, but finished Gingers helpful video and no longer have brake rub! Thanks!

Did you know the best way to stop the brakes rubbing is to make sure the screws aren't too tight the tighter it is the disc brake will have less room between the brake pads
