Guys, this is the best brake bleed/fill video. Perfect procedure, Filling from the bottom to the top is the best method to ensure there are no trapped or entrained air bubbles. Well done.
Thanks so much!
Did this procedure 4x. Made a big mess of brake fluid. I finished doing it in the reverse way it says from the top to the bottom. Worked 1st go around.
@@roberturso9654same. This video lacks some crucial tips to work this way
I thought it would be much more complicated but you made it look very very simple and easy. Thank you for taking the time brother.
My pleasure bro
I used this video to perfectly, easily, and cleanly bleed Nutt brakes on a Rad Rover 6 plus e-bike. After seeing so many posts on how difficult this process has been for others, I was reluctant to even try, but I'm glad I did. Did this job in under an hour and for $25 for kit and oil. Thank You!!!!!
I’m glad you found this video helpful! 🙏
Like others have said, this video is 100% I bled the nutt rear brake on my Mukata 10+ just yesterday for the first time and I've never bled brakes before. Made a mess for sure and had to wipe down the whole caliper with iso but for the first time doing this, it worked great! I certainly wont worry about bleeding in the future. Great video hands down, nice and short and straight to the point. Hats off to you sir.
Glad you found this video of value.
NUTT and ZOOM are gaining traction in the bicycle market and have some excellent components on offer....👍👍👍
Great demo 😃 thanks for sharing
Thank you for this man I bought my scooter for so much money and those scooter dealers although I know how to do my things myself but I just need the instructions and they charging me so much money to do it for me and my money have a lot of responsibility bro but thank you so much man for showing this instruction is very clear and there's no bull crap you don't hide anything you make it very clear so thank you bro appreciate it get some more things like that going you know what I mean I'll be watching I'm a friend now
Thank you - just successfully did my brakes. :)
Thanks for great and usefull content .
I've learnt alot watching this done here & it's the best I've been in terms of the best breakdown I've seen so far..👍🏽
Great vid! Which bleeding kit did you use in this demo? Wondered if you could provide a link to it
Just followed your amazing and easy video to put the oil back into my nutt hydrollic brakes and the kit I picked up very cheap on Amazon and worked flawlessly and now my brake's are full of oil and air free and such a happy chappy. You have taught me a simple easy method and took me less then 20 mins and now I can ride my Nanrobot D6+ without air and soft breaking and saved my life ❤️❤️❤️ thanks brother and I take my hat off to you. Best video on CZcams and video is perfect 1080p quality 👍👍👍👍 you smashed it 👌👌👊
Thanks brother 🤝 glad we could get you back out there safely
@@SolarScootersuk 👊👊👊👊
Everything worked flawlessly but my brake pads are worn down. I bought X2 brand new ones for front and rear put them both on and front works perfectly but rear pads won't close together to touch the disk. I haven't tried to bleed again but will do tomorrow. Got no brake at all. I've tried to push in pistons and everything in the book no joy. If I bleed it and still no joy what would you think that might caused it ??? There no stiffness in the brake leave it's dead and I've even tried to adjust it no joy. It do feel tho it's lost a lot of oil and loads of air. Somebody said I might have taminated the piston but no oil leak while I changed the pads. Very strange. I'm fuming 😡 it's the exact same hydraulic oiled brakes in this video for my Nanrobot D6+ scooter. Fuming fuming 😡 not your fault mate. Not sure if it's the brakes or lever taminated or what. Wired just from replacement brake pads which are the right ones 😡😡😡😡
You made that look easy
Give us a handle bar change on the p1 and the p1 pro pls it will make all the difference.
Mucho gracious, mi hermano!
🤝 de nada
Hello sir! I'm from Austria and have completely converted my scooter Xiaomi 1S (see my last short) and yesterday I bought very expensive Nutt brakes in the scooter shop for €175! But because I removed the oil hoses for the front and rear of all 2 brakes so that I could put the oil hoses in the holes in the scooter and lay them nicely, a little oil came out of the front and rear brakes! I have to bleed the brakes now! I saw your great video 👍 and did the same thing with the rear brake as in your video. Problem: the rear brake pads which I bled just like in your video, when I press the brake levers the brake pads come together but they don't go all the way back to their original position! 🤔 But just like in the video, I pressed the brake lever a lot at the end until there was no more air coming in and then I closed this little screw at the top again. I did it a second time but there was enough oil in the rear brake of the scooter motor! Question: Since there is enough oil in the rear brake, I only need to do it at the top of the brake lever so that the pistons go all the way back! Should I just open the small screw at the top and connect the short hose with the 20mm syringe and press the brake lever often until no more air comes out? But could that be the problem because I didn't screw the front brake onto the handlebars and didn't straighten it when bleeding! I screwed the upper brake on diagonally towards the ground and bled it because I can no longer get the upper brake lever open. Does the position of the brake lever at the top of the handlebars necessarily have to be screwed on and placed in a straight position? Could this be the problem why my pistons don't go all the way back in the NUTT brake because I had the upper brake lever towards the ground and not in a straight position like in the video?? Kind regards 🙂
Can you send me the link on Amazon to this specific bleed kit please and thanks.
Thanks for your video.
Before bleeding, can I empty the oil out of the hose and caliper and fill those with whole new oil?
No worries!
Yes the oil seen in the video is the new oil which is transferred into the brakes, old oil should be transferred into the empty syringe at the top at the same time.
Very helpful video bro. Also, where could I purchase one of these break bleeding kits from? I am located in the US
Thanks man! I just got mine off Amazon.
Do you do the same procedure with the front wheel?
I can't find a syringe/reservoir attachment that can reach my Dualtron Thunder 3 brake lever opening to do it :(... any recommendation is very much appreciated (I bought two kits and non of them work for the brake lever.
Was going to do a full bleed and change my pads but before I did so just wanted to know a few extra things
Would I be able to remove the pads and just put the block into the calliper without the old pads do the bleed and replace with new pads after? Or should I replace the pads first then do the bleed
Last thing on my rear break I had an issue and had to realign my calliper with the adjustment screws on the top (that allow the calliper to move back and forth) when I replace the pads should I unscrew them and hold the break down and tighten them to align the breaks? Or is that not how it’s done
Thank you a lot if you get back with a reply :)
HI man great veasy video can you pls tell me where do you get ur NUTT BREAK KIT because they are so many on AMAZON but none of those fit nutt break .
Just any Amazon one! That’s where I got mine
hello, it was a very useful video, thank you Where can I buy the equipment you use?
You’re most welcome. I bought that particular kit from my local bike shop, but you could likely get the same from Amazon.
@@SolarScootersuk can you link it?
I have a kaabo GT pro will this method work ??
How much ml of oil do you put in the syringe ?
Hey, i have a problem, I don't have any screws on my handle!
Hi would this be the same way on an ebike ..thanks good video
be the same on anything with that brand setup.
How much oil do I put in the syringe?
Do you think this Brakes are compatible for mtb bikes?
I was bleeding and put new oil IN my dualtron but when brake it Comes smoke fro the brake . What is this i noticed it direktly
Ciao. Che marca di olio è quello così verde?
Tbh I did it the lazy man way. I left the brakes as is level the lever then attached the plunger and started pumping the lever to pump out the bubbles. Yes it’s easier but it does take longer. It’s not the proper way at but it still works and you get about the same results. I would only bleed if my oil too old like let’s say after a year.
Hello my p1 pro just came in and I’m new to this. 1) when and why would one need to replace the oil? 2) if I set my regen brake level at 5, how long would the brake pads last? Thanks!!!
Bleeding you would only need to do when you feel your brakes are really spongy. With regen at max your pads should last several 100s of miles.
Were can I buy this syringe
gm i would like to kno what kit u used i have a nami burn 2 nutt break

Hello bro, can you please tell me the quality of nutt oil brake, because in our country everyone use shimano oil brake.
Buy DEXRON
the brakes on the solar FF 2.0 are different can you do a video on how to bleed the brakes on that scooter please?
Its the same process, bleed from the bottom to the top.
Is there a fast charger available for the standard P1, or is it exclusively for the P1 Pro?
Also sorry for asking again but, realistically if I was going 35mph on dual motors without eco mode how far would I go, heavy rider 90kg
It can be purchased separately on our website, only comes standard with the Pro.
Again it’s really tough to answer as so many factors come into it. But in the summer you can expect the rated range of 30 miles for the normal P1 at those settings you mentioned.
Hope that clarifies
@@SolarScootersuk Thank you very much.
edit: I can not seem to find the fast charger for the P1 but only a replacement standard charger
Can u share what kit for changing ur using pls?
First brake bleeding kit that comes up on Amazon
bruh.. I thought I had to take the cable off on the caliper that needs a star tork lol. Thats why I put m scooter way last night and thought id take it to my friend at a car shop, guess i can actually finish this job before work on my death trap lmao
I heard its best to remove the brake pads before bleeding the brakes because the oil can severely ruin your brake pads and you'll need to replace them
You can do… but as long as your careful and make sure you don’t contaminate them you’re fine.
I bled my nutt brakes exactly how you have shown it but it now has very little pressure and stopping distance is way to long. What can I do to pressurise it?
you may need more oil
Usually, do new hydraulic Disc brakes (NUTT BRAND) come with brake pads already installed? Do new hydraulic brakes need to be bleed before first use ? Thanks
Yeah it all comes ready to go! Need to bleed or anything. Should work straight out of the box.
@@SolarScootersuk do you know where you can order the nutt brakes from? A realiable site?
Is this the same for dualtron thunder brake bleeding?
I imagine so. Most hydraulic brakes work the same way :)
Hi I'm a little confused. I see you put mineral oil and but were does the old mineral oil get extracted from? In other words, how did you get the old fluid out of the system. (Sorry I'm totally new to all of this)
In the video there are 2 syringes, one that’s full and one that’s empty. As you squeeze the new stuff in, the old stuff gets put into the empty syringe
@@SolarScootersuk To be clear... The old oil goes through the system and out the syringe at the handlebar lever?
@@fpvflyer4758 yes 👍🏽
@@SolarScootersuk Many thanks! 🙏
which bleed screw attachments did u use?
Any would be good as they have different size fitting attachments, but something like the link below would be good.
www.amazon.co.uk/UIYU-Bicycle-Hydraulic-Mineral-Shimano/dp/B07M944ZQ5/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=bLEED+KIT&qid=1641661966&sr=8-8
How to adjust the pressure of the brake after all air is removed? I always got the feeling it's not tight enough. Less tension.
You might need to adjust yours at the pads
@@SolarScootersuk sorry, my bad. There was still too much air left. I had to do it once again slowly and now it feels firm. So far so good.
I do appreciate this video, I honestly do. It's well shot, descriptive & tells you what you'll need beforehand.
What I don't understand is, why must every command be prefaced with "go ahead and..."?
("Go ahead and loosen the brake lever...", "Next, you'll want to go ahead and remove the bolts for the caliper..."). I realize the problem here is me, but it's like an epidemic now, a verbal tick that's spread throughout the entire English speaking world. Now that I'm noticing it, it's like nails on a chalkboard.
Suppose I'll "go ahead and piss off" now.
I know I know…. I cringe at that every time I watch this. I was new to presenting on camera and was nervous, sorry.
@@SolarScootersuk Well now I hate myself, lol. Thanks for being cool about it.
How good is the solar p1 on range, I know it says 30 but if I was riding dual motors with max power going 30-35 how many miles would I be able to go
About 25 - 30 miles in the summer, half that in winter. But it all depends on so many factors, it isn’t a one answer question.
Ride style, weight, temperature, elevation, tyre PSI, wind all make a difference in how much or how little mileage you get out of a charge.
Hope that helps.
@@SolarScootersuk Thank you for the help, probably going to buy this very soon!
@@chad6243 my pleasure. Take care☺️
@@SolarScootersuk You too.
Chad,. There is no way you are getting 30miles with max power doing 35 mph. no chance more like half that. But if u ride slower and don't do high speeds then u can definitely eek it out. I would guess on normal riding I get about 20miles and that's mixed speeds I would say. But if u go fast more like 15 and if u are slowish then more like 25 maybe even 30 miles
how many miles would it get if on max settings
50 miles in summer, half that in winter
How do I align the disk break on the rear tire. It scrapes when it spins
You need a disk calliper bender tool, you can pick on up from Amazon.
Bro you wana be using locktite on them break calliper bolts
I do, just wasn’t in the video👍🏽
realistically how far would i go if i was going 30mph and heavy rider weighing around 90 kg
Realistically 50 miles in summer, half that in winter
Would this be the same process for p1 pro
Yes
Can I remove air bubbles without putting in new oil?
i tried without, worked for few mins. so i say not really lol. guess depends how bad it is. if u just got 1 bubble, and its comes up quick. u may get lucky. i know i tried lastnight and i not so lucky. i need to get a set and add oil.... on brand new machine cant ride it cause it has 0 fing brakes. really upset about it. legit flew into 4 lane intersection because brakes just were gone. luckily no car was coming.......
Can you bleed in reverse like inserting the oil from the top syringe?
You can - but you don't want to do that because any air bubbles in the system wont be forced out. So it's best to insert the oil from the bottom to force air out the system
@@SolarScootersukonly if you are pushing. If you are pulling oil from the bottom the oil on the top will get into the system. Pulling makes more bubbles put than pushing. Your method didnt work for me and for many people here sadly.
@@maciekprokop3780 This has worked for thousands of people, so not sure where you went wrong? If you need more help please be sure to contact our team, they can assist!
hello@solarscooters.co.uk
Is it recommended to remove the pads first?
You don’t have to but make sure not to contaminate them with the oil.
I did all of this, and my breaks are still easy to squeeze the the handle grips. Any ideas what is wrong?
Same with me
The system was empty before u fill the new oil ? or was filled with old oil and refilled ? Because i didnt saw that u empty the system before u fill ...
ill happy for answer to let me know how to do 🙏
It’s full before 🙌🏽 hence why you have two syringes. One filled new oil, one that collects the old…
@@SolarScootersuk aa ok thanksss 😊
And if the brake is fully empty i still doing the same procces ?
@@spicymayo4278 yes 👍🏽
Where can one get this kit?
Amazon
When will I need to do this
If you’re brakes ever start feeling week and the pads are still ok…
@@SolarScootersuk thx
Do you have to bleed both brakes ?
Yes but only if that particular break needs it.
Are most kits universal?
Yes
hi if i was going 30 or 40mph on dual motor and no eco mode how far will i be able to go on 1 charge
On the P1 Pro - around 50 miles in the summer, half that in the winter.
@@SolarScootersuk how about the p1, keep in mind not eco mode using as much power as possible.
@@manman-hp1qq 25 - 30 miles in the summer! Half in winter.
Using dual motor is actually MORE efficient than using the single motor... this spreads the load between the motors rather than forcing one to do all the work.
Using the Regen braking also helps recharge the battery.
@@SolarScootersuk Oh okay, thanks very much I was considering this scooter but the miles pushed me away, thanks for telling me definitely buying this soon.
I just assumed that if I was going max speed the battery wouldnt last as long.
What did you do when you put the syringe in the break leaver?
Nothing - it’s just a vessel to collect the old brake fluid. When you pump from the syringe at the bottom
So does the whole break system need to be filled completely to the top with oil without any air in it?
@@SolarScootersuk thank you
@@GavinGrewal-np9sq yes, as the new oil is being put in, the old stuff gets put in the top syringe like in the video
@@SolarScootersuk excellent I had a crash on my Apollo phantom ludo and hurt my Nutt leavers and have got replacements so just needed to know how to re bleed the breaks. Thanks 😊
Hi, ive done this but my regain break isn't working now. Any idea's?
Did you fix it?

Thank you so much!!
Are these brakes good?
Very!
Are these nutt breaks perform well ????pls rply
Yes they perform well
@@SolarScootersuk thanks! im buying them for mn mtb.how is the breaks are they powerful?
@@supermotomadness7666 yes as they are hydraulic brakes they stop on a dime
@@SolarScootersuk thanks for the help
Just curious I got the same breaks and adjusted them but for some reason they still squeak when I hit the breaks… can seem to figure the reason why
Seems pretty easy
It is 👍🏽
What's the purpose of the brake block??
If you fill the brake tubes full while brake pads are engaged (no brake block) they won’t open again, they’ll be engaged constantly.
So you have to fill the brake’s with fluid with brake block inserted to keep it from engaging.
Hope that explains
@@SolarScootersuk Ohhh right! I totally got you now thanks mate 👍
@@SolarScootersuk 1 more thing sorry, I'm looking for a brake bleed kit, I'm only seeing kits for shimano, don't suppose you have any links? Thanks

I bled mine and the brake lever is still spongy
did you fix it?
Yes I did, took a little longer but everything is stellar now.
@@CyborgNS6NL What did you do
@@revrush.productions Replaced the break pads and bled the breaks until there were absolutely no more bubbles. It took a little while.
Why on earth did you not remove the brake pads?You could have easily contaminated those brake pads and the rotor ?
It is recommended. But I did say in the video to be careful not to contaminate them.
Great vid but you left out one of the most important things….what oil to use 😫
There’s probably thousands of different mineral oils in the world
