Everything about brakes for maxi scooters
- at SIP Scootershop
With high-performance maxi scooters, good brakes are of course the be-all and end-all for a safe and relaxed ride. Worn-in or corroded drums, just like glassy or even oily pads, are an extremely high safety risk for maxi scooters as well. Here you will find everything you need to know about brake pads, brake shoes, brake master cylinders, brake callipers and seating, and much more. We explain how you can narrow down the display of articles to your maxi scooter model and which manufacturers offer the best products.
How do I find the right brake parts for my Maxiscooter?
You are in the general section for brakes and maxi scooters with over 300 different products. Under "Select vehicle type" you can select the exact model for which you are looking for brakes, for example "Maxiscooter 100-250 4T AC". You can refine your selection using the category. If you are looking for a brake disc, select "Brake discs & adaptors" and have the items displayed that are suitable for you. The filters in the left-hand navigation allow you to sort by "brand", "use" and other criteria. If you select the vehicle type filter, e.g. "Maxiscooter 100-250 4T AC", the entire range for the vehicle will be displayed the entire range for the vehicle category Maxiscooter is displayed. This is always helpful if you are not sure which vehicle type the scooter you are riding is in.
The different models of maxi scooters
Maxiscooter 100-180 2T AC/LC
2T maxi scooters are almost a rarity these days. They are particularly popular because of their durability, performance and, above all, tuning possibilities. The PIAGGIO AC/LC engines are a must here.
Maxiscooter 100-250 4T AC
Four-stroke engines with air cooling require little maintenance and are easy to look after. Just sit on it and ride off is the motto here. The most common models are equipped with PIAGGIO engines, but HONDA, YAMAHA and others also play a very important role here.
Maxiscooter 100-850 4T LC
Powerful 4-stroke engines with water cooling almost promise motorbike feeling. HONDA, YAMAHA, KYMCO and PIAGGIO are the most popular manufacturers.
The range of brakes for maxi scooters at SIP Scootershop
Brake pads & brake shoes
We distinguish between brake pads for disc brakes and brake shoes for drum brakes. To make it easier to distinguish, we have divided the brake pads into types, such as S10, S11, based on their dimensions. Brake shoes are installed on the cheaper scooters or on the rear wheel.
Brake hoses & replacement parts
The original brake hoses are usually only made of rubber. The steel braided brake hoses are high-tech and the ones from SPIEGLER even have TÜV approval. The scooter can be customised with different colours for the lines and connections.
Brake discs & adaptors
Along with brake pads and brake shoes, brake discs are the wear parts par excellence. They come in many diameters, hole patterns and shapes. The more holes, recesses or corrugated shape, the better the cooling. Floating bearings ensure even better braking performance. Oversize brake discs also have a super braking effect and are usually supplied with a matching adaptor. Many brake discs are also available with homologation.
Brake callipers & seating
Everything your heart desires: whether original brake calipers, CNC-manufactured radial brakes or mighty BREMBO pliers - you'll find it all here.
Brake master cylinder & adaptor
Braking performance also depends on the respective brake master cylinder. If it is not really compatible with the brake calliper and line, the biggest brake calliper will be of no use. We have brake master cylinders for every application.

Customers ask - SIP answers
"How often do I need to service my hydraulic brake?"
The hydraulic brake system should be serviced approximately every two years in the form of a brake fluid change. Brake fluid is hygroscopic and absorbs water over time, which changes the braking effect - in the worst case, there is even a risk of total failure. We recommend changing the brake fluid every two years at the latest and checking it regularly.
