Can i use my shimano bike brakes on this?

[alexg]

actually I think you missed the biggest point with the brake sensor, it cuts up the power of the motors, because electric scooter components are low quality (like the display trigger) many of them fail and go full throttle (magnet snaps out of place, plastic holder brakes etc), pressing the break will avoid any danger that might happen to you by taking hold of situation and stop without a problem... and not the (almost) useless breaking blinking lights...

Mechanical breaks are less of a headache in my opinion. Easier to adjust and more straight forward. These zoom breaks can become a headache

I just purchased a Shimano MT200 hydraulic brake for my Halo M4 electric scooter but it didnt fit?? any ideas why?

[TeamLurxOfficial]

How did you feed the wire through the base ???

Mechanical to hydraulic is a great start... But 140mm to 160mm rotors is where the better braking modulation takes effect. It's Essentially adding almost 20% more braking torque. I made a tutorial on. I would definitely give it a try if I were you. Nice video btw!

This makes me confident in my choice to order scooter I really want but only comes with mechanical brakes…. The Kukirin G2 Master!

Hi is the shimano brake caliper mounting holes same length as the electric scooter brake caliper holes ?

[oliveraidoo]

Hello, how well does this zoom hydraulic brakes work in wet conditions, like rain?

[Kassplaylist]

Arent those semi hydraulic since they use a cable?

[JustinFilmer]

Can you provide the exact model of the Zoom brakes you used as a replacement. I have an Apollo City and would like to upgrade the brakes.

[antoniosantana]

Is possible to do this upgrade on the Emove Cruiser

[danny-FL]

How does the Varla Eagle One compare to the Mantis? How is the high speed stability and comfort?

[FRNIKULA-KLIKER]

My zoom calipers dont fit on my original mounting on Zero 10x? Why

[cvey]

im thinking about adding hydrolic brakes on my scooter.i have an apollo city and im wandering if i dont reconect the brake light cables will the rest off the scooter still function because if heard of error codes that can come up on some scooters due to that

[scalemodelstudio]

hi. im from the Philippines. im having a hard time looking for a right mounted brake disc. and i saw your video. can i ask what brand was your hydraulic brakes?

[perpeual]

Always enjoy the videos 👍🏼

I’m hoping the MTB manufacturers get involved more and start producing parts and upgrades for eScooters. Would love better fixings, bolts parts etc.
Tyre manufacturers also!!
