Why do they always brake

Ours has been excellent - very sturdy. Our kids have lost it out the window of a moving car, dropped it numerous times, and tossed it between themselves. It is a bit scratched up, but it takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. Good, solid phone.

We had two, and experienced constant issues with the phones shutting down. They would shut down like as not any time you snapped them shut, were trying to text, or twisted/ bumped them in any way. I read that LG had issues with the battery connectors on this phone, and I think normal use of the phone, like opening/ closing the cover caused the battery to briefly disconnect. Great other than it shut off constantly, and if you did not notice it off, you missed calls. Maybe they eventually fixed it, but Verizon just gave us some BS when we brought it to their attention( no longer with them!)

tes... they come with a adapter that prevents the pedals from moving back and forth allowing you to use the toe brakes as a gas/brake pedals

The hand brakes do not lock. They are also not very good. You will need to use your good foot/leg on an incline, either way, to stop your momentum. Also, the 'seat' is very hard and uncomfortable with the split and required significant cushioning. My husband had to fix squeaky wheels numerous times as well.

There is cable adjustment for each handle. You will need to loosen the cable and relax the tension just a little. If you loosen them too much you will lose your brakes all together. adjustment on each brake handle. You will need to loosen the

There are no brakes......you simply stop peddling. Don't worry about bumping into anything ;)

You must squeeze the brake hard then push the button to keep the break on. You then squeeze again to release the brake. Seems to work all right for us.

You cannot stop....there is no brake. It's like a skateboard...you have to slow down or jump off. Your foot can get "caught" if you fall forward. It's not an easy device....if you get the hang of the balance, you dont really have an issue with your foot getting caught, but it happens while learning.You don't want your foot jammed into it...the front of you ankle should NOT touch when you put your feet in...you "balance" on it. Only the soles of your feet should touch the skate cycle....if that makes sense.

They are plug an play. Just plug them in to a USB port and if you're flying FSX they take over the function of turning and braking. You push down with each foot in the direction you want your plane to go, and you press down with your toes to apply brakes. It's really very simple. If you have any further problem you may be able to find a video on Youtube or you can call the manufacturer for assistance. Good flying.

For the most part. If going downhill at high speed, there is a delay in stopping. Normal, everyday stopping and slopped downhill works fine .

I haven't had any problems with my brakes at all, I had mine installed probably about a year or so ago and no complaints at all. I'm guessing it could only be one of two things, either the pads were bad or the disc themselves are bad. Best of luck. I'd maybe call Power Stop to see what they say.

Yes they do. I don't know where everyone else got their answers. There is a little silver button on the brake grip. Just pull the brake grip, push down the button and slowly release the brake grip. The pin will hold the brake in place and lock the back tire.

I own several Gazelles. I have to buy a new one every time something brakes that I have already robbed off of one of the old machines. I don't know why the manufacturer does not offer spare/repair parts. It is possible that they do but if so, it is kept a very tight secret. I've never had a cable break or the frame fail but some of the plastic pieces fail regularly. The lubrication system is a pain also.

Hand brakes and loxking brakes are independant. You only engage the handle brKes to stop not to go.

Sometime the wheels need to be loosened. Try taking them to the skating center and see if they can loosen them with a special tool they have. If they can't loosen them, send them back.

Are you using both brakes? or the brakes may need tightening. Using both brakes should keep the walker from moving

My brakes DO NOT hold when the button is pressed to hold. What can I do ot make the brakes hold?

They might, but the problem is they brake so easy, many times it brakes when iron make contact becuase of the big impact.
