When you have a motor that is both high-powered and high-torque, it’s crucial to be able to stop quickly when necessary. Amigo is equipped with TEKTRO hydraulic disc brakes which allow you to do just that.
Hydraulic brakes are superior to most other types of brakes because they offer improved stopping power, more precise control, and better durability with much less maintenance required to maintain them ongoing.
When you squeeze the brake lever on your Amigo the hydraulic fluid transfers the force from the lever to the caliper, resulting in a more immediate and powerful braking force. This allows for more precise control over your speed, particularly in challenging terrain or when traveling at high speeds.
Hydraulic brakes are much less prone to wear and tear compared to mechanical brakes too. They require little ongoing maintenance to maintain their performance. To explain this a little, hydraulic brakes auto-adjust ongoing as the brake pads wear down meaning you maintain top stopping power and safety ongoing. Mechanical brakes on the other hand require you to manually re-adjust and reset the position of the brake pads every 2-4 weeks as the brake pads wear to maintain top performance and safety.
