Hey guys!
I just signed up and I am already writing my first thread. So first things first: Please don't judge me by my language. I'm from Germany, and my writings might not be at the same quality level than you are used to.
Now that we have cleared that up, back to the original topic. As the title tells, I got one of these Currie Technologies 1000W E-scooters. I'm driving it for more than three years now and besides that every few 100 miles the next thing breaks apart - I'm pretty happy beeing electric! There is only one major issue with the scooter. and that is the brakes. I already had an accident induced by insufficient stopping power and it happened again last week. I was lucky in both cases but nevertheless my wrist will hurt for a few more weeks.
I already tried some standard ISO mount hydraulic bike brakes. They didn't fit. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder which pushes the inner pad outwards. It's too big and would mount were the arm section of the rim is. It's not impossible by principle. I just need the right brake which fits as perfectly as the old one. With the advantage of some braking power - of course.
Has anyone changed the brakes of this scooter before and can give me an advice?
