    Got a new EBike, Anyone familiar with hydraulic Brake systems, Rotor Sizes etc.

    This is the adapter for the ecotric seagull 1000w, I say that because other people have the same issue, I noticed.

    Fixed the rear brakes, they had wrong adapter on the rear rotor. And seemingly had the stock adapter turned around. Bought a 160mm rear IS Shimano rear adapter. Problem solved. Just in case anyone gets the same issue, thats the fix

    These are Shimano adapters and my adapter on the rear of the bike is for a 180mm Rotor. They are the same shape and most likely size. I think that this is the issue, wrong adapter.

    Hmm, not sure I will try to loosen up the nuts and reseat it, There is no quick release off the back wheel unless I am misunderstanding you. That wheel is bolted on. I can loosen give it a try. Here is a picture of the axle on both sides. I would be surprised if that wasn't seated correctly. I...

    See thats what I think... but I have to box it back up and resend it, and that is a major pain in the ass. Honestly I think I would rather have them just tell me what to do. So far they have given me the cold shoulder, on this issue. They have tech support and I know they know what they are...

    Well my bad Jerry, I just figured that the original post was in the newbie introductory section. And I have about 6 days to make a decision on this bike. And I really need some expertise quickly. So I figured I would ask the question in its proper forum. I should have just said hello in the...

    Here is the new bike, But My rear rotors are squealing like a pig, and as you can see they are only being halfway utilized. Do you think the rotors are 1 size to small? Its an Ecotric Seagull 1000w... Just got it, it came like this, I didn't touch the back side. But there is no way in gods green...

    Just joined up got myself a new bike.

    This is how it came from manufacturer, it looks fine and rides good but the rotors are not fully contacting only half. The front rotors are fully in contact. And the rear brakes are the squeaky ones

    Just joined up got myself a new bike.

    The orange circles are for caliper adjustments, and the Green is for adapter adjustment? I used the orange to adjust the calipers and brake pads, I have not touched the adapters yet.

    Just joined up got myself a new bike.

    So here is the pic of the rear rotors is this normal? I emailed the manufacturer and they said its fine. But to me this looks like the rotors are to small for the adapter/calipers. The Brake pads are only half way clamping the rotor. Any suggestions. its a 160mm rotor in the back but I am...
