Electric Scooter Brake Pads by Model

The Levy Light and Levy Plus use disc brakes: a 120 mm rear rotor with a caliper and a $8.99 pad set. The Segway Ninebot Max pads Levy stocks are drum brake pads at $22.50. Disc and drum pads are not interchangeable and do not look alike, so the first job is identifying which your scooter has — the test takes ten seconds and is below.

Which pad does your scooter take?

Fitment and prices on this page were checked against the live product pages at shop.levyelectric.com on August 25, 2026. Prices change; the product page is always the authority. Compatibility that Levy has not confirmed is marked as unconfirmed rather than guessed.

The ten-second disc-or-drum test

Crouch down and look at the rear wheel from the side.

  • You can see a thin metal disc bolted to the hub, with a small clamp straddling it — that is a disc brake. The pads live inside the clamp.
  • You see a smooth, sealed hub with a brake cable disappearing into it and no visible disc — that is a drum brake. The pads live inside the hub.

Every part on this page is a rear-brake part. Many scooters, including the Levy Light and Levy Plus, use regenerative braking on the front wheel and a mechanical brake at the rear, so the rear is where the friction wear happens.

One part we tell you not to buy

Levy stocks the Zoom HB-100 Brake Caliper for Electric Scooters, and its own product page states that it is not compatible with the Levy or Levy Plus. It shows up in searches for scooter brake upgrades, so it is worth saying clearly: if you ride a Levy, this is not your part.

If your Levy is not stopping well, the order of operations is fresh pads, then a fresh inner and outer brake cable, then lever adjustment. A worn cable is a far more common cause of a soft lever than worn pads, and it costs less to fix.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my scooter has disc or drum brakes?

Look at the wheel. A disc brake has a visible metal rotor, a slotted circle bolted to the hub, with a caliper gripping it. A drum brake has none of that — the braking happens inside a sealed hub, so you see a smooth hub with a cable running into it. The Levy Light and Levy Plus use a disc brake with a 120 mm rotor. The Segway Ninebot Max pads Levy stocks are drum brake pads.

When do brake pads need replacing?

When the lever pulls closer to the grip than it used to and adjusting the cable no longer fixes it, when braking gets noisy or grabby, or when you can see that the friction material is down to the backing plate. On a scooter carrying an adult at 18 to 20 mph, this is not a job to defer; brakes are the part where "I will do it next month" is a genuinely bad decision.

Do I need a new rotor as well as pads?

Usually not. A rotor is replaced when it is scored, warped, or worn thin, which takes far longer than a set of pads. If the old pads were run down to the backing plate, inspect the rotor for grooves before reusing it. Levy sells the 120 mm rear rotor separately for exactly this case.

Can I fit the Zoom HB-100 hydraulic caliper to a Levy?

No. Levy stocks the Zoom HB-100 for other builds and its product page states plainly that it is not compatible with the Levy or Levy Plus. We publish that rather than let people find out after fitting. If you want more stopping power on a Levy, start with fresh pads, a fresh cable and a correctly adjusted lever.

Does Levy stock brake pads for other brands?

Only Levy and Segway Ninebot Max. We do not carry pads for Xiaomi, GoTrax, Hiboy, Turboant, NIU, Apollo, Unagi, Razor, Varla, Kaabo or Dualtron. Brakes are the last part anyone should be guessing about, so we do not publish likely fitments.
