When the electric vehicle is used for a period of time, as the brake pads wear out, you will find that the brake is not as sensitive as before, and if the electric vehicle brake is adjusted improperly, it will bring some dangers.

If the stroke of the brake lever is too large, the braking effect is poor, and the car cannot be stopped in an emergency, and the stroke of the brake lever needs to be adjusted. The method is: loosen the fixing screw of the brake cable, readjust the length of the brake cable, and tighten the brake cable to adjust to the appropriate braking force.

When the brakes of an electric vehicle are adjusted improperly, it will produce many unfavorable effects. The braking effect is good, but it consumes electricity.

The reason is that the brake adjustment is too tight, and the brake pads and brake pot have been in a slight braking state. The second is the poor braking effect, which is not safe for motorbike throttle cable.

In addition, if the brakes are adjusted too loosely, the brake pads and brake pots are slightly braked after the brakes, that is, the car cannot be stopped. Therefore, adjusting the brakes of electric vehicles is a guarantee for safe travel. Next, Huafeng will show you how to adjust the brakes of electric vehicles.

The tool we use is usually 10-12 wrenches. First, check the stroke of the brake lever. If the stroke is too large, the braking effect will be poor and you will not be able to stop in an emergency. You need to adjust the stroke of the brake lever. The stroke of the brake lever should be reduced within the normal range.

The second step requires the brake cable fixing screws. The brake cable fixing screw is used to fasten the brake cable and adjust the stroke of the brake lever. When adjusting the brake cable fixing screws, you need to loosen them slightly, but not all of them. If it is completely loosened, the brake cable may fall off.

Step 3: Adjust the motorized bicycle throttle cable and the fixing screws of the brake cable. Use wrenches No. 10-12, preferably No. 10, to loosen the screws on the adjustment brake cable. You can pull the brake cable at an angle that requires turning the wrench counterclockwise to loosen it. It is more appropriate to loosen 1 to 3 turns.

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

Step 5: Tighten the fixing screw of the brake cable, or use a No. 10 wrench to tighten and adjust the brake cable screw. Note that you need to turn the wrench clockwise to tighten, but don't damage it by tightening the screw too tightly.

Step 6: Check whether the stroke of the brake lever is correct. Hold the brake handle with your left hand and turn the rear wheel of the electric car with your right hand. Just adjust the stroke of the brake lever within the normal range.
