As an important means of transportation for modern people's daily travel, the safety performance of electric bicycles has always attracted much attention.
However, in the actual use process, the braking system of some electric bicycles will be too loose, resulting in easy failure to brake the car when braking, which brings potential safety hazards to riders.
So, what are the reasons why the brakes of electric bicycles are too loose and easy to brake? This article will analyze from multiple aspects.
The braking system of an e-bike usually consists of components such as brake cables, brake calipers, and brake discs. During long-term use, the brake line may be loosened or deteriorated, resulting in a decrease in braking effect.
Loose brake lines can make the braking distance longer, while aging can cause the brake line to break, making the brake system completely ineffective.
Brake calipers are an important part of the braking system, and its role is to slow down or stop by rubbing the brake discs.
However, after a long period of use, the friction surface of the brake caliper will gradually wear out, resulting in a decrease in braking force and an increase in braking distance. If the brake calipers are badly worn, the car will not be able to brake.
The brake disc is the part that is in direct contact with the brake caliper, and its surface condition directly affects the braking effect. If there is oil, water or other dirt on the surface of the brake disc, it will reduce the friction between the brake disc and the brake caliper, resulting in poor braking effect.
In addition, brake discs can wear out after long-term use, and severe wear can also lead to a decrease in braking force.
During the installation or maintenance of the braking system of an electric bicycle, if it is not properly adjusted, it will also lead to poor braking effect. For example, the brake cord is too tight or too loose, and the gap between the brake caliper and the brake disc is too large or too small, etc., which will affect the braking effect.
The rider's usage habits will also affect the braking effect. For example, behaviors such as frequent and sudden braking, long-term continuous braking, etc., will accelerate the wear and tear of the braking system, resulting in a decrease in braking effect.
To sum up, the main reasons for the loose brakes of electric bicycles and the easy failure to brake the car are loose or aging brake cables, worn brake calipers, dirt or wear of brake discs, improper adjustment of the brake system, and the use habits of riders.
In order to ensure riding safety, cyclists should regularly check the working condition of the brake system, replace badly worn parts in time, and develop good riding habits.
At the same time, electric bicycle manufacturers and maintenance personnel should also pay attention to the quality and adjustment accuracy of the braking system to ensure that every electric bicycle that leaves the factory has good braking performance.
