Brake caliper

A brake caliper on a scooter is an important part of the braking system. It's on the front wheel and helps to slow down or stop the scooter when you use the brake lever on the handlebars. The brake caliper squeezes a disc (or sometimes drum) to create friction, which stops the scooter. It's important to keep the brake caliper in good condition and regularly check for wear so you can drive safely and stop in time when necessary.
