Thanks was confused for months how to tighten my front disc brakes. All along wasn't using the correct screws to loosen the caliper full position, was instead using the screws to hold it into place LOL. After this video i finally understood this : D
Great video guys, thank you so much. Have great day
Thank you! You too! -Paul

Hey team would love to see what is the easiest method to fit a solid tire on the rear.
Thanks man it helped
Thanks for watching
Very helpful
Thanks for watching
thank you
I couldn't do the first method because the screws would not come undone. I thought I was doomed until I did method two and it worked!! Thanks, you saved my bacon. I have to ride this thing down a big hill that always has lots of traffic. I was fearing the worst if I wasn't able to get it fixed myself. This is my only transport to work!! Thank you thank you!!
Awesome! Thanks for watching. -Vosk
Ty for help
Our pleasure! -Vosk
Thanks!

Thanks Paul for the video...very detailed! Where did you get your scooter stand?
I copied David Vosk on this one. I love this thing. It's my second desk, my coffee table, an extra monitor stand during the live show, and of course a grear scooter stand.

Thx
Really great video! The original video from the brand that i bought my scooter from, lacks all the details that you go through, and adding what tools to use, as they only give you 2 different size keys to it...
I agree with you all, it took 2 secs to adjust the caliper. Had no clue of that &^%#$ screw !!! Thanks
In my case I got the brake malfunction light on but there's no evident failure and it brakes just fine, what do you think it could be the problem?
Thank u
Great knowledge to have. You're a RoCK StaR Paul.
Thanks so much Rusty! -Paul
Very good indeed - thanks Paul.
thank you so much, took me 30 seconds to fix
Thanks for watching
actually helped me in reverse lol my tires were super sticky and would prety much stop me when i would let go of throttle
:: Can adjusting the brakes effect the mileage?
Where did you get the scooter repair stand that you have the scooter on I’m looking for something like that

I fixed my scooter thx to you
Awesome! Glad to hear. -Vosk
Hey team would love to see what is the easiest method to fit a solid rear tire.
Good idea. Thank you! -Paul
Could you PLEASE 🙏 do a guide on how to adjust breaks on the new Pro 4 model? I nearly died today going down hill. And how to adjust the stem on it as well, it already making that creaking sound after only 20 miles. Thank you.
We will try our best thank you! -Vosk
I'm going to try to fix it I'll be back
Watching this again with my new Scoot Air Wide Board 😇
Keep us posted
It’s been 6 months bro did u fix it?
@@sean6809 rider guide channel has a very thorough video
@@sean6809prob not
Thank you so much for this idiot proof description. Top class teacher!👏👏👏
Controller and motor diagnostics and replace if needed
Yesssss
Do you have a dedicated youtube channel just for these repairs? (ESG labs) If not can we suggest and request one please!
We will be including ESG Labs videos on this channel and will be releasing more VERY SOON! Thanks for watching! -Trina
Hi, the rear wheel of my Hiboy S2PRO only rub (sounds like metal on metal) when I am riding. It spins freely when off the ground which makes it very difficult to diagnose. Any insightful tips in this aspect?
The sound goes away when there isn't any weight on it? A certain amount of dragging noise is normal from disc brakes. Do you feel like it's dragging in addition to making noise? -Paul
New scooter and I adjusted them as you show and they are still mushy and still need to be pulled basically all the way down. I can't take up any more slack without them rubbing. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Thanks! Sorry it didn’t help.
Hi there! My electric scooter Gotrax Gxl V2 rear wheel is sometimes touching the brake disc even when im not pressing the brake handle, can you post a video about this fix?
Possibly in the future! Thanks for the suggestion. -Vosk
if its new, might be from a bent disk. if its after adjustment, adjust your right pad while tire is turning as in 5:38, or it might happen because you tighten brake wire too much and left pad starts to touch disk.
I have 3 questions
1. I have the gotrax g4 and it says in the manual to inflate tires to 50PSI but tires say 36, what should I do? The main thing I want is that the tires should last for as long as possible, i don't care about comfort
2. Is there any way I can make it engage just the regenerative braking when I push breakes a bit, and when I push harder it also activates disc brake?
3. Tightening the brakes, will it decrease or increase range? And will it increase or decrease the lifespan of the breaks?
45 PSI is recommended
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide I did 50, should I decrease?
I've adjusted my brother in laws scooter. The rear brake pads I can see have a gap on each side, but when I lift the scooter up and spin, it still feels like something is slowing the rear wheel down.
I've released the wire. It still does it. I've checked the mud guard, and it feels close but still free. Are some electric scooters meant to have some friction?
Each scooter is different!
What is a good upgrade to this caliper you show adjusting? I want to stay with a mechanical one? Thanks
These are generic ones!
Thanks
If you feel like you need to squeeze really hard to stop, would that maybe mean that the braking caliper needs replaced or the disk?
Yes you shouldn’t be squeezing that hard! Thanks for watching. -Vosk
Que vídeo incrível! Aplaudi por R$ 2,00 👏
Muito obrigado! -Paul
how do you take the whole caliper off and swap it
I have a Vision A9 Scooter that needs maintenance... you guys got one in the warehouse?
No we have not tried that one! -Vosk
The Rosen Meents in Israel has an Oddball of Electric Scooters 👀
So there is a little silver power button looking thing underneath the battery carriage that I'm not 100 % sure what it does. It's not a Dulatron, but I'm guessing it's to cut off the main power? It pushes in and out like a power switch. It's in the left side ooo5of where the plug input is, and whatver the othe circular thing next to it does.
I just purchased the Aovo Pro es80. The brakes make a weird noise. What should I do to make the noises go away?
Contact the dealer for assistance! -Vosk
This is what youtubers in general need to learn, pedagogic, several logic steps, good close camera and... what seems to be a youtuber decease:
Not talk like adhd-speed and almost shouting.
/Thanks
Cool! Thanks for sharing. -Vosk
May I suggest 2. My front wheel does a flap-flap-flap noise every revolution. It's not a metallic sound, sounds like something rubbery. But it's not the valve cap. When I tighten the bolts on the wheel, it reduces a bit.
But it never did that in the begining. Perhaps knocking my wheel a few times a bit hard on cracks in the pavement did this?
Second, how do you repair a tailight wire that was likely damaged by pressing the fender on the wheel to open the scooter?
The front light turns on but not the tailight. XR Elite (Gotrax) scooter.
Thought these issues might be common enough. :p
Hi there.
No brakes on electric scooter.
I’ve tried adjusting the brake cable multiple times.
After 2-3 applications of the brakes, they just loosen right up again.
Any help would be truly appreciated.
Thanks, Laurie
Is the cable getting loose? Check and make sure the cable clamp is getting a good grab on the cable. If you're using the adjusters (twisting them), you may have reached the end of travel of the adjusters.
What model of scooter do you have? -Paul
I just bought a TIF Galop T-108 scooter with Hydraulic disk brakes and both front and rear grip to strongly. There is no sweet spot. It's all or nothing. ow do you get the brakes to be less grippy?
some scooters parts like brakes are just less quality then others!
Where did you get those tools ?? Please answer
Plenty on amazon! Thank You.
✅💯💯
I fell off my scooter earlier today and now the rear wheel drags hard. I hope its just one of these things i have to readjust
Let me know how it goes!
Also check both ends of the cable to make sure it hasn't been pulled half way out of the socket. That can make your brakes drag too.
👍🏻
Wow
Hey! So recently a super small part of my E scooters disc brake has chipped, and I don’t know what to do since it’s metal and I can’t really fix it. It’s causing a ringing bell noise whenever I spin the wheel because of that chipped part. Does anyone know what I should do
There might be a tool on Amazon to straighten bent rotors.
will this fix my back wheel not moving when i’m spinning it and slowing down the scooter ??
Give it a try!
a solid advice for everyone, tightening brake tire too much seems a better idea to you if you think you dont need regenerative brake or tail lights; that causes brake wire to snap too early than it should. i snapped once in a downhill and thank god for those regenative break on motor.
dont worry, when wire's life comes to end, you can feel the thinner-wrapped-wires snapping one by one when you breaking. when it happens, GET YOURSELF A SPARE WIRE ASAP!!! also dont worry x2: changing brake wire is the most easy one in this models. any other bicycle mtb wire do, but be sure they are no shorter than exactly 200mm long. loose wire from caliper, squeeze break and pull out the head of the wire from its slot, reverse process on new wire and you are good to go. shouldnt take more than 2 or 3 minutes.
Very insightful! Thanks for sharing. Vosk
How do I fix red light , break mode on how do I fix that please help thanks
We will try to make a video!
Where can I buy the tools
Should be plenty on Amazon! -Vosk
I think I have dirt of some sort in the area where the break pads meet the disk break. How do I remove that????
Try an air duster!
Fixing a flat with tubeless and tubes. There isn’t any good videos on this common fix.
Thanks! It’s near the top of the list! -Paul
For tubeless look up how to do it on motorcycles
how do you adjust the caliper with a rear motor?
We will try to make a video in the future!
For me its hard to pull the brake lever with my hand, so what would i need to adjust? Please help
Which scooter do you have ?
The brake caliper screws are so tight on mine , can’t unscrew it
I got my Electric romobil and it isnt good, when I brake it turns tokyo drift mode but all my friends's romobiles brakes are Excellent and their brakes Instantly, please help
Try to call the dealer for assistance!
-Vosk
I’ve noticed one of my break pads are wearing faster than the other. What causes this?
Most people brake most with their rear brake so that would be the reason why it gets worn quicker! -Vosk
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide i have no brakes in the front just a rear disc brake with 2 brake pads so the rear is the only one i use. Is ur reason still the same in my situation where i only have a brake in the rear
I bent my back disc brake and now it won’t line up with the calipers to where it won’t scrape. Help!
Take it to a local bike shop! They will assist you. -Vosk
How do u adjust the front brakes. All videos show back brakes
Hopefully we will make a video in the future! Thanks for stopping by. -Vosk
I did the first adjustment and the break is waaay better but I can’t make the break light work anymore
Is it still under warranty ?
@@ESG-ElectricScooterGuide no, I have it for 3years… I don’t think the light is working at all actually, not even when it’s charging
I completed ruined my brakes i couldn't do the full calipar adjustment because my stupid allen key wouldn't reach there and i think my plate was bent because it rubbed of at a perticular place
Sorry about that! Hope you sort it out.
