How often should the brake pads of an electric vehicle be replaced?
1 Answers
There is no specific regulation on how often the brake pads of an electric vehicle with drum brakes should be replaced. Generally, they need to be replaced only when the brakes are ineffective or malfunctioning. Depending on the distance traveled by the electric vehicle, the wear rate of the brake pads varies. Those who use the brake pads more frequently will experience faster wear. Below is more related information: 1. Service life of brake pads: The service life of brake pads is closely related to actual usage conditions. The brake pads of electric bicycles are different from those of motorcycles but similar to those of bicycles (this is because the vehicle's center of gravity tilts forward when braking). Under normal circumstances, the typical usage cycle for brake pads is one year, depending on individual riding habits. 2. Precautions: When braking, try to listen to the sound of the brakes. If you hear a sharp sound similar to metal grinding against metal, pay attention to the condition of the brakes. After prolonged use of an electric vehicle, various components and connections may dry out, leading to noise. The rear shock absorber is also a common source of noise. Solution: Apply a few drops of engine oil for lubrication. If the inner core is severely deformed, it needs to be replaced.
