I don't think you have to sand down the new pads.The caliper has adjustment screws

[@jongiedruta]

Totally agree lots of room for adjusting

[@tomwatson7475]

After watching this I'm going to fit my new tyre myself, so much easier than I thought. Cheers for the video bro.

[@richardamoah9222]

Thanks for the review-scooter saver. I thought something was wrong when I went down a hill and couldn’t brake

[@BosseBrakskit]

You may very well have saved my life thanks to this video 😊

[@lovegaming619]

I had the issue where the inner brake pad was to tight and on the disc from factory, i had no idea you could move it until i saw this video. Thanks!

[@maggievada4797]

You saved the day man thanks a lot!

[@jacobstalman940]

Thanks a lot every time I learning a little bit more about your videos 👍

[@photocornish]

Thanks. Clear and to the point

[@DanutDumitru]

good and clear instructions, worked like a charm.. thanks ;)

[@EbikeRyder]

Thanks for this video man, I wouldn't have had a clue how to do this without it.

[@JonathanOpsomer]

Yout should be able to easily allign them by pressing the break down then locking them in, this will make sure on both sides u have even as much space and no rubbing on either, cheers

[@joco118]

You have to tighten the inner pad to the rotor if you don't do that it won't alighn right it's not like on hydraulic brakes only one pad goes in

[@dustintravis8791]

My inner brake pad shipped way out of spec, meaning the outer pad is pushing inward because there's such a big gap on the inner side. It actually bends the disc because there's so much play. Thank you for the video, I'll have to tackle this soon.

[@Dailydeen_365]

Very well explained

[@Onealmightypod]

Thank you for sharing this very interesting and informative clip 👍

[@jackmenino9654]

Hey man!! Today I decided to take all apart the hub and battery compartment notice water in side, I pulled everything out cleaned the water dry it with hair blow dryer. Put all back together now runs good again. It seem that water seeps down the colum were it folds. And it wasn't raining that much. I'm going to load some pics on my comments when you have a chance take a look. Thanks.

[@DougHnut]

Will do! I'm glad you figured it out. The water could be also coming in from where the cables go into. The silicone grommets may not be seating properly.

[@joco118]

You can center them mutch easyer just tighten the inet pad till it's touching the rotor squeeze te brake lever while holding the lever tighten the caliper bolts then unscrew the inner pad and tighten the cable as needed

[@waynestevenson8890]

same as a bike lol

[@joshuapang9528]

Hi Doug Hnut! I really appreciate all the high quality content you publish regarding the features of the xiaomi m365! It has really helped me in my purchase, but i am wondering if i could what kind of locking mechanism you would suggest for this scooter? Its been a little difficult finding further information. Appreciate all that you do!

[@DougHnut]

i personally dont use a lock, but i would recommend a "u" shaped lock used like the one like this www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Xiaomi-Mijia-M365-Electric-Scooter-Skateboard-Wheels-Hub-Lock-Security-Anti-Theft-Cable-Tyre-Tire-U/2500012_32888213797.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.18.47f442bbjzCkRH&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_5_10152_10151_10065_10344_10068_10130_10342_10547_10343_10340_10548_10341_10696_10084_5724015_10083_10618_10139_5724315_10307_5724215_5724115_10059_100031_5725015_10103_5724915_10624_10623_10622_10621_10620,searchweb201603_2,ppcSwitch_7&algo_expid=2083bad3-78e4-4bb5-91b7-42967c1f5789-2&algo_pvid=2083bad3-78e4-4bb5-91b7-42967c1f5789&transAbTest=ae803_2&priceBeautifyAB=0

Hi Doug! I only use my scooter two day maybe 15km on it, today I was taking it for a spin and hub motor wasn making really loud sound like vibration felt like a old rusty wheel that has been left outside for years, than stops completely, kick started again same thing. Doesn't run. One of day I driven it was some small puddles. Don't know if water got in anywhere. I just posted a video with the motor making that sound.

[@DougHnut]

Sounds like some dirt got inside the motor. Or there was something already inside the motor is loose. Nothing should be able to get inside the motor from regular riding, including puddles up to 2 inches deep. I took apart a clone m365 motor because it made similar noises. And found 2 tiny pieces of a broken zip tie inside it. But haven't tried the motor since to confirm noise is gone or not

[@oliverstoys8411]

Another great video, do you have any estimated miles before you replaced your brake pads?

[@Dylan-qk8ss]

same

[@proxyhx2075]

@@Dylan-qk8ss same what?

[@StreetyKing]

Thanks for making these videos, I know they will be useful In the future. Can you let us know roughly how long you had your scooter and how much mileage you did so we know roughly when to change the pads. Or is there any indication on when to change? Sorry for the dumb question.

[@DougHnut]

No problem!. I have about 1200 km on it when i changed the pads. periodically i would tighten the cable, and then i eventually ran out of adjustment. so that was my indication

[@TheMichealaw]

@@DougHnut thank you

[@mohamadsinno7787]

@@DougHnut i have around 4500km on it and just now thinking of changing the pads, i do use the engine break to the max

[@luiscortes577]

Fantastic , thank you for your help !

[@xd_darth2510]

Hello! i was wondering where you got the "backplate" i lost mine today and i can't find one online. Please can you like where i can buy.

[@jackmenino9654]

Hey man, sorry haven't download the pictures I tried to use Google pictures but no success lol. On the other hand I toke it for a ride today did close 20km and no issues.

[@krisey6060]

Sanding down brake pads I've seen it all lmao. Please never do this 🤦‍♂️

[@leonpiagkos]

where did you find that rear fender

[@jackmenino9654]

Got it to work again! 😁...today manage to take it all apart, again found some water in battery compartment but not water either on battery or the board. I'm assuming its humidity that's causing it. Do you think if I use just some saran wrap to wrap the electric board would be ok ? Thanks

[@DougHnut]

If it's humidity then saran wrap don't help. Maybe those desiccant packs will help humidity . But best thing to do if try and find out where this water is coming in from. This other day I ran through a puddle at least 4 inches deep. No problems. Pants, jacket and face wet.

[@vampiszon6620]

Thanks, but you don't need to sand it. You have to adjust by how far you turn the threaded part.

[@allenfsanchez9572]

how long do the brake pads normally last? do they make a noise when they are finished or do they just not break? how do you inspect for this? scratched disk? thanks

[@biggdutch3235]

I have the G4 from Gotrax. What brake pads do you suggest I buy? I think their brakes are the same as the one in this video

[@alessiopumpo1394]

What happen if i change the breake pads at for example 1mm thickness or less ? Can i still remove the second pad with the tool.? Yours was 4mm. Hope to receive an answer. Thanks

[@Loomesy55]

Hi does the front wheel break at all because there is only one handle for the rear break? Does the rear wheel only break? Thanks

[@DougHnut]

yes, the front wheel brakes by using regenerative braking through the motor. it is quite strong and can be adjusted through the MI home app. most of the stopping power comes from the front brake.

[@Loomesy55]

Doug Hnut thanks Doug 👍

[@TheMichealaw]

How would you know your pads need replace

[@fleebleflam]

I just purchased my scooter from Ali Express, and the disc brake is really rubbing and making a real bad noise on first use! What do you suggest, as it's new?

[@jackmenino9654]

Hey man! Wondering if you are familiar with this scooter, Zero 9? And if so what's your take ? Thanks .

[@johnfoster2592]

Thank YOU!

[@blcsfo]

My M365 has a squeaking noise from the rear wheel. How would I lube the squeak so it goes away? Is the squeaking from the wheel bearings.

[@philz033]

Good video, but I didn't have to sand te pads.

[@Kamka_PL89]

Good Job!

[@Throneos]

Cant you just slam the break and then tighten the bolts?

[@jackmenino9654]

Hi Doug! I had fully charge the battery didn't use for a few days, realized now its totally with no charge, any advice!? Thanks. And now it doesn't even charge, turn it on beeps and turns off , the charger light Indicates its charged .

[@DougHnut]

you are going to have to take the battery cover off and measure the voltage. there is a reset button on the bms . you can see it through the clear plastic. just press and hold it for a few seconds, that might work if the battery is ok

[@DougHnut]

also, it should hold charge for a lot longer than a few weeks if the batteries are in good shape.

[@Neo1983m]

The brake disc often bend while Slow down. The Material from the wheel of the disc is inferior. It is a Problem with the material. You will always have a grind of you driving. It is normal.

[@sandwaves5642]

But - what 4 did u grind the pads ? U can adjust the space ☝🏼🤓

[@maciej_sliv]

Wipe off the brake disc with rubbing alc

[@meriaogundigie1459]

I cant even move the screws

[@mastorakakis]

I found some full metal pads on ebay. Does anyone know if metal is better than fiber?

[@DougHnut]

metal pads bite harder, but wear the rotor faster

O its a DOUGHNUT!!! 😆🤭😁

[@funky6954]

Mine cant even fit in hole cuz they are bigger im gonna give it to somebody to make them like original ones

[@alandurden1826]

your brake disc is warped.

[@adamkamali]

so you actually need someone to help you by spinning the tire while you work on adjusting the brakes! this way you don't keep on adjusting it.

[@RoyalAdTek]

no, it's necessary to adjust again and again after installing the new pads or discs.

[@finophile]

err ... there was nothing wrong with your pads man

[@jackmenino9654]

Sorry don't know how to load pictures here. Notice that my scooter has totally different things base on what I see from everyone here.

[@DougHnut]

Is your scooter a clone of the m365?. You can share pic with Google photos.

[@Foxyboy-iv5cf]

A little bit of rubbing is not fine lol

[@aragorn318]

Unfortunately, I think most M365's come with bent brake disks. See video at 11:10 below on how to fix this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4O8n32BmKiaeac&lc=z22wfpcarxqeubo2qacdp430osrcbzac3qcwwkj5qx5w03c010c.1530704996977188

[@pillowpants1324]

I was thinking, would it be possible to buy some Mountain biking Hydrolic brakes and use that system instead of cable?
