Driving with the handbrake on has the following effects on the vehicle: it accelerates the wear of the brake discs, and the brake pads may harden due to overheating, leading to reduced handbrake performance and elongation of the handbrake cable. The handbrake, also known as the auxiliary brake, is a crucial component of the vehicle's braking system. Proper use of the handbrake can effectively prevent the vehicle from rolling and reduce the danger of rolling when parked. The functions of the handbrake are: 1. When parking, pulling the handbrake keeps the vehicle stationary and prevents it from rolling downhill; 2. During driving, applying the handbrake while turning can create a drifting effect; 3. In emergency situations, the handbrake can be used as a brake.

How often should the air filter of a scooter be replaced?

The air filter of a scooter should be replaced every 2,000 kilometers. The air filter is a device that removes particulate impurities from the air. When piston machinery (such as internal combustion engines, reciprocating compressors, etc.) operates, inhaling air containing dust or other impurities will accelerate the wear of components, so an air filter is essential. Here is an introduction to air filters: Types: According to the filtration principle, air filters can be divided into several types, including filtration type, centrifugal type, oil bath type, and composite type. The commonly used air filters in engines mainly include inertial oil bath air filters, paper dry air filters, and polyurethane filter element air filters. Purpose: The air filter is a type of filter, also known as an air cartridge, air cleaner, or air element. It is mainly used for air filtration in engineering vehicles, motor vehicles, agricultural vehicles, laboratories, sterile operating rooms, and various precision operating rooms.
