Brake pads and discs: check wear and replace pads

Check your brakes and follow the ES210 brake-pad replacement video when it matches your scooter.

Written by Lise Augment

You can replace worn brake pads yourself if you have the right parts, tools and experience. First identify your model and brake assembly; pads for Alturo, Agaru, ES210 and Augment 360 are not interchangeable just because they look similar.

Check the brakes

Let the brakes cool. Look for worn pads, a damaged disc and loose parts. Use the wear limits specified for your exact brake; mileage alone does not tell you whether it is safe. Keep oil and grease away from the pads and disc, and do not blow brake dust with compressed air.

Do not ride with weak or inconsistent braking, a lever that reaches the grip, a cracked disc, a loose brake or a hydraulic leak. Repair and check the brake before riding again.

Replace ES210 brake pads

Use this video only if your ES210 brake matches the assembly shown. Watch it through first. Switch off and support the scooter securely. You will need the correct pads, a 5 mm Allen key and needle-nose pliers.

1. Remove the caliper

Release the brake-cable clamp and remove the two caliper mounting bolts. Back off the inner pad adjuster to clear the disc, then lift off the caliper as shown.

2. Replace the pads

Remove the old pads from the underside with the pliers. Fit the new pads with the friction surfaces facing the disc. Keep the friction surfaces clean. Refit and align the caliper, then secure the brake cable.

3. Adjust and test

Adjust the inner pad close to the disc without rubbing, then fine-tune the cable with the barrel adjuster. Check that the cable and caliper are secure, the wheel turns freely and the brake engages before the lever reaches the grip.

Before riding: Test the brake at walking speed in a clear area. Do not resume normal riding until it stops reliably.
