After using the electric vehicle for a period of time, with the wear of the brake pads, you will find that the brakes are not as sensitive as before, and if you adjust the brakes of the electric vehicle improperly, it will bring some danger. Today, I will teach you how to adjust the brakes of the electric vehicle. Follow the little butler to learn about the specific detailed steps.

Influence of Improper Adjustment of Electric Vehicle Brakes

When the brakes of electric vehicles are not adjusted properly, the following reasons will occur.

First: the braking effect is good, but it costs electricity.

The reason is that the brakes are adjusted too tightly, and the brake pads and brake pot have been in a light braking state.

Second: the braking effect is poor and unsafe.

The reason is that the brake adjustment is too loose, and the brake pads and brake pot are in a slight braking state after braking, that is, the car cannot be braked. Therefore, adjusting the brakes of electric vehicles is a guarantee for safe travel.

Detailed explanation of the step-by-step tutorial for adjusting the brakes of electric vehicles:

Step 1: Check the stroke of the brake handle. If the stroke is too large, the braking effect is poor and the car cannot be braked in an emergency. You need to adjust the stroke of the brake handle. The brake lever travel should be reduced to within the normal range.

Step 2: Brake cable fixing screws. The brake cable fixing screw is used to tighten the brake cable and adjust the stroke of the brake handle. When adjusting the brake cable fixing screw, it should be loosened a little, not all of it. If it is fully loosened, the brake cable may be disengaged.

Step 3: Adjust the fixing screw of the brake line, use the No. 10 of the No. 10-12 wrench to loosen the adjusting brake line screw, just a little bit can pull the brake line (the wrench should be rotated counterclockwise to loosen), loosen it for one to three turns That's it.

Step 4: Pull the brake cable, loosen the adjustment brake cable screw, hold the brake cable with your right hand and pull it back a little.

Step 5: Tighten the fixing screw of the brake wire, and use the No. 10 wrench of No. 10-12 to tighten and adjust the brake wire screw (the wrench should be rotated clockwise for tightening), and tighten it, but the screw should not be damaged.

Step 6: Check whether the stroke of the brake handle is qualified. You should hold the brake handle with your left hand and turn the rear wheel of the electric vehicle with your right hand. Adjust the brake lever travel within the normal range.

Step 7: Check the stroke of the brake handle. If the stroke is too small, the braking effect is good but it costs electricity, and the stroke of the brake handle needs to be adjusted. The brake lever travel should be increased to within the normal range.

Step 8: Brake cable fixing screws. The brake cable fixing screw is used to tighten the brake cable and adjust the stroke of the brake handle. When adjusting the brake cable fixing screw, it should be loosened a little, not all of it. If it is fully loosened, the brake cable may be disengaged.

The ninth step: adjust the brake cable fixing screw, loosen the adjustment brake cable screw with the No. 10 of the 10-12 wrench, and the brake cable can be pulled a little (the wrench should be rotated counterclockwise to loosen), and loosen it one to three turns. That's it.

Step 10: Tighten the brake cable, loosen the adjustment brake cable screw, and gently hold the brake handle with your left hand to let the brake cable come back.

Step 11: Tighten the brake wire fixing screw, use the No. 10 wrench of No. 10-12 to tighten and adjust the brake wire screw (the wrench should be rotated clockwise for tightening), just tighten it, and do not tighten the screw.

Step 12: Check whether the stroke of the brake handle is qualified. You should hold the brake handle with your left hand and turn the rear wheel of the electric vehicle with your right hand. Adjust the brake lever travel within the normal range.
