Brake disc
Initially, only drum brakes were installed on scooters. A few years have not passed, and engineers had to invent something new, "adult" in order to compete. From here, disc brakes from older motorcycle brothers migrated to scooters.

Disc brakes on the first scooters.
Disc brakes on the first copies were very primitive, with a small disc and a single-piston caliper. They were installed only on the front wheel, but even this was considered chic, and the device with such an innovation became very popular.
Disc brakes on modern scooters.
But there is a tribute to fashion, and now almost all fifty-kopecks are produced with a front disc brake. Both on a motorcycle and on a scooter, braking with the front wheel is much more effective than with the rear.

But due to its low weight and low speed, which it can develop, the benefits of such an innovation are insignificant. I'm talking about 50 cc scooters, on more powerful versions, a disc brake is undoubtedly mandatory. The drum brake is more than enough for fifty kopecks.

But there is a tribute to fashion, and now almost all fifty-kopecks are produced with a front disc brake. Both on a motorcycle and on a scooter, braking with the front wheel is much more effective than with the rear.
This is due to the fact that disc brakes have a completely different force transmission system than drum brakes, in which the brake pads are decompressed by a cable. In disc brakes, this role is performed by a special brake fluid that does not compress under any weather conditions.
The principle of operation of the disc brake on a scooter.
When you press the brake handle, the latter moves a special piston, which begins to displace the liquid. At the other end of the brake hose, which is filled with liquid, there is another piston, much larger. This piston, in turn, is pushed out under fluid pressure and presses on the pads that cover the brake disc. At this moment, a very large pressure is exerted on the pads, capable of stopping the scooter under any conditions.
However, under such loads, the brake pads themselves, or rather the pads, play a very important role. Without high-quality linings made with the addition of soft metal shavings, effective braking is in principle impossible.
The brake disc itself is made of durable steel. It has ventilation holes that also act as a disk cleaner. It should be noted that the larger the brake disc, the more effective and informative it will be to cope with its task.
