Brake disc

A brake disc on a scooter is a round metal disc attached to the wheel. It helps to slow down or stop the scooter when you use the brakes. When you press the brake lever on the handlebar, a brake pad rubs against the brake disc, creating friction and slowing down the scooter. It is important to keep the brake disc in good condition and regularly check for wear, so you can drive safely and stop in time when necessary.
