Drum Brake for Electric Scooter

What is an electric scooter drum brake?

And drum brake is a braking system which uses a rubber wheel or brake shoe. This rubs against a metal drum to create friction to stop your product.

• How does an electric scooter brake drum work?

Typically, the drum is located inside the wheel and is driven by the movement of the wheel. When you press the brake handle, the brake shoe or rubber wheel is pressed against the drum, which creates friction and slows or stops the product.
