Stay in Control: Your Guide to E-Bike Braking Maintenance

Electric cycles are heavier and faster than traditional bikes, which means your brakes work harder. Regular checks and timely replacement of braking spares are vital for your safety.

Signs You Need New Brake Pads

If you hear a high-pitched squeal or notice that your stopping distance has increased, it's time for new pads. Pull out your brake assembly and check the pad thickness. If it's less than 1.5mm, replace them immediately.

Why Choose Original Braking Spares?

Not all brake pads are created equal. Original Voltebyk spare pads are engineered to handle the specific heat and friction generated by our high-performance models. They offer longer life and more consistent stopping power than generic alternatives.

DIY Brake Pad Replacement

Replacing pads is a simple task that you can do at home with basic tools. Ensure the rotor is clean before installing new pads. After installation, 'bed-in' the brakes by making several controlled stops at moderate speed to ensure optimal performance.

Stop Safely Every Time

Keep your stopping power at 100%. Shop our range of high-performance brake pads and assemblies.
