I’ve been putting a lot of miles on my Lectric Xpedition as I do Uber Eats deliveries in my local suburbs. That means a ton of braking at higher speeds 20 – 28 MPH. After just a few hundred miles of riding those brakes began to screech. Eventually that turned into full on finger nail on chalkboard like sounds.
Most ebikes come with Metallic or Semi-Metallic brake pads. But I thought I’d try to quell the noise with Ceramic Brake pads and it worked like a charm. Replacing brake pads is very easy, check out the video below.
