Use this guide if your scooter has the mechanical cable brake shown below. Switch the scooter off and support it securely.
1. Try the lever adjuster: Loosen the lockring beside the brake lever. Turn the barrel adjuster out a little to remove cable slack, then tighten the lockring. Keep the adjuster securely threaded into the lever; do not unscrew it completely.
2. Check the rear adjuster: The photo below shows the adjuster where the cable enters the brake caliper. It can also take up a little cable slack. Secure its lockring after adjustment. Cable tension does not fix worn pads or a bent disc.
3. Reset the cable if needed: If the adjusters cannot remove the slack, turn them back in. Loosen the cable-clamp bolt shown below, pull the cable just enough to remove slack while keeping the brake arm in its resting position, then secure the clamp bolt. Use the tightening specification for your fitted brake if one is provided.
4. Test the brake: Squeeze and release the lever several times. The cable must stay secure, the brake must engage firmly before the lever reaches the handlebar, and the wheel must turn freely when released. Test at walking speed in a clear area before normal riding.
Need help: If the cable is frayed, parts are damaged, the brake still works poorly or your brake differs from the photos, send us the model and a clear photo in the chat. We can help you with the next step. This guide does not cover Augment 360 hydraulic brakes.
