FAQs

Are these brake pads sold as a pair or individually?

EBC Brakes SFAC Carbon Series Scooter Brake Pads are sold individually per caliper. You will need to order the correct quantity based on how many pads your scooter's caliper requires.

What type of compound are these brake pads made from?

These brake pads are made from a carbon organic compound, which is eco-friendly and offers a balance of performance, durability, and a smooth riding feel.

How long do these brake pads typically last compared to standard pads?

The specially developed compound significantly outlasts standard brake pads, offering enhanced lifetime and reducing the frequency of replacements.

Are these pads suitable for all types of scooters?

These pads are designed for versatility and are tailored for optimal performance across a range of scooter types, including both lightweight and heavyweight models.

What is the benefit of the carbon impregnation?

The carbon impregnation enhances the strength and endurance of the brake pads, making them highly durable and ideal for frequent stopping, especially in urban environments.

How should I bed in new brake pads?

While specific procedures can vary, generally bedding involves a series of moderate stops from increasing speeds, followed by a period of cooling. Consult your scooter's manual or a professional mechanic for the recommended bedding-in procedure for these pads.

What maintenance is required for these brake pads?

Periodically inspect the pads for wear and ensure the brake caliper area is clean. Proper brake fluid maintenance is also essential for optimal braking performance.

Troubleshooting

Brake fade or reduced effectiveness

Ensure the pads are properly bedded in according to manufacturer recommendations. Check for brake fluid leaks or low fluid levels. Verify that the pads are not contaminated with oil or grease.

Squealing or noise during braking

This can sometimes occur with new pads during the bedding-in process. Ensure the caliper is clean and the pads are seated correctly. Anti-squeal shims, if applicable, should be installed correctly. Persistent noise may require professional inspection.

Uneven braking performance

Check for warped rotors or uneven wear on the brake disc. Ensure the brake caliper is functioning correctly and not sticking. The brake pads should be replaced in pairs on the same axle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Durable construction suitable for heavy use and urban environments.
Represents superior value for money due to extended longevity.

Cons

Pads are sold individually per caliper, requiring careful ordering.
May require professional installation for optimal fit and function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation of brake pads should ideally be performed by a qualified mechanic to ensure proper fitment and function. Always refer to your scooter's service manual for specific instructions regarding brake system maintenance. It is crucial to clean the caliper and mounting points before installing new pads.

Compatibility: These pads are designed for mid to heavy scooters. Important: All brake pads are sold individually per caliper. Please verify your scooter's specific brake caliper requirements and the number of pads needed per caliper before ordering to ensure you purchase the correct quantity.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, periodically inspect the brake pads for wear. Clean the brake caliper area to prevent debris buildup. Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the pads themselves; a light wipe with a damp cloth is usually sufficient for external cleaning. Ensure the brake fluid is at the correct level and in good condition, as this also affects braking performance.
