The best replacement pad is the one that fits your exact brake caliper. Use this guide to identify your brake, compare friction materials, and avoid ordering pads that look right but do not fit.
Start with the exact brake caliper and the shape of your current pads. These replacement listings are organized by the scooter families named by their sellers; model-name matches alone do not guarantee fit. Check the pad outline, dimensions and mounting hardware before ordering.
A four-pad semi-metallic replacement set marketed for the M365 rear disc brake. Compare the existing pad profile and the scooter’s production-era caliper before buying.
Fit check: M365 pad set; generation fit must be confirmed.

A two-piece semi-metallic replacement listing for the Xiaomi M365. Match the pad outline, retaining features and old caliper before ordering; M365-family parts can differ by production era.
Fit check: M365 pad set; verify caliper and pad outline.

A larger replacement set marketed specifically for the Kugoo G2 Pro rear disc brake. Confirm your scooter generation and the fitted caliper; G2 Pro, G2 Max and G2 Master parts are not interchangeable by name.
Fit check: Kugoo G2 Pro listing; check scooter revision.

A listing naming Kugoo M4, M4 Pro and certain KuKirin variants. Mixed model-family claims need special scrutiny: use caliper markings and the removed pad as your deciding reference.
Fit check: M4/M4 Pro candidate; verify exact generation.
View on Amazon ↗Use the photos and exact dimensions in the Amazon listing to confirm the pad shape before purchasing. Product listings and available variations can change.
Small friction blocks sit inside a caliper and squeeze against a metal rotor. Match the backing-plate outline, retention method and thickness.
Measure the original backing plate and inspect the clips. Similar-looking pads may differ by just a few millimeters—enough to prevent safe installation.
Record the caliper brand or model and inspect the rotor for scoring, discoloration, warping, or insufficient thickness.
Drum systems use internal friction shoes or linings. Their replacement procedure and parts are different from a disc-brake pad swap.
Confirm the exact caliper and compare old pad outline; variants exist across generations.
Before ordering: Inspect the shape of both pads and the retaining clip.
Official KuKirin parts support these models, but the seller also requests verification for production batches.
Before ordering: Compare serial number and caliper before purchase.
These models use drum-brake hardware rather than a conventional exposed bicycle-style disc pad.
Before ordering: Buy the correct drum assembly/shoe components, not a disc-pad listing.
NIU brake arrangements vary by model. Never choose pads from a broad “fits NIU” claim alone.
Before ordering: Identify exact model, wheel position, caliper, and part number.
Use these as a brake-system identification guide, not as a substitute for matching the removed pads and your caliper part number.
Uses a disc brake plus electronic braking. Identify the rear caliper and check the old pad outline before ordering. Similar-looking Xiaomi calipers can use different friction pads.
Uses disc-brake hardware, but configuration varies by Sport, Pro and Max model. Confirm your exact model and front/rear assembly before selecting a pad.
Front drum brake and rear electronic brake: ordinary disc brake pads do not fit this brake system. Look for the correct drum-brake service part instead.
| Material | Typical characteristics | Check before choosing |
|---|---|---|
| Resin / organic | Often quieter with good initial feel | Heat tolerance and rotor approval |
| Semi-metallic | Balanced wear and performance | Caliper and rotor compatibility |
| Sintered / metallic | Usually better resistance to prolonged heat | Rotor must explicitly support metallic pads |
Choose a listing that specifies the exact caliper and scooter variant, shows clear dimensions and retaining hardware, and provides a return route if the fit is wrong. Amazon listings for different scooters often reuse photographs or broad “universal” compatibility claims.
No. Even visually similar disc pads can have different dimensions or retention features. Drum brake parts are a separate category.
No. Some rotors are restricted to resin pads. Follow the rotor and brake manufacturer's specifications.
No. Noise can also come from contamination, rotor issues, alignment, or loose hardware. Diagnose the cause before buying parts.
