Hydraulic disc brakes on an electric scooter: bleeding, DOT vs mineral oil, pads, common mistakes
How hydraulic brakes work on an electric scooter, why ALL common scooter brake brands (TRP/Tektro, Magura MT, Nutt, Zoom, Xtech) run on mineral oil rather than DOT, which symptoms mean it is time to bleed, how to two-syringe bleed Nutt/Zoom (15 ml, T10 at the lever, T15 at the caliper) and gravity-bleed Magura/Tektro, how to pick and bed-in organic / sintered / semi-metallic pads, the ~500 km pad life on Apollo, and which mistakes to avoid. Built on the Magura MT owner's manual (2017), Tektro's Bleed Procedure PDF, EScooterNerds, Fluid Free Ride, BikeRadar, RevRides, and Levy Electric.
