Adjusting Brakes
EVOLV Pro / Pro Plus
Small adjustments can be made at the barrel adjuster on the brake lever, but all major
adjustments should be made at the opposite end of the cable at the brake caliper.
With the barrel adjuster on the brake lever threaded almost all the way in, adjustments
can then be made to the front or rear caliper. If your brakes are too loose, you will
need to increase tension on the brake cable.
To do this, using a 5mm hex tool, loosen the screw holding down the cable near the
caliper. While holding the cable, rotate the brake arm in the direction of the scooter
until it can’t go any further, making sure to keep tension on the brake cable. Once the
arm stops rotating, rotate in the opposite direction a small amount and tighten down
the screw.
If your brakes are too tight, check that nothing is interfering with the brake cable
between the handlebars and the caliper. Follow the directions listed above, only
remove tension on the brake cable instead of introducing it.

Hydraulic brake systems require less maintenance, but do need to be bled from time
to time in order to stay at peak performance levels. Bleeding the system involves
removing any built up air in the hoses and topping off the hydraulic fluid and requires a
hydraulic brake bleeding kit.
If you are not comfortable doing this yourself, reach out to your dealer for further
directions.
