My brake wheel is not turning. One turns very hard, and the other hardly turns at all. Can I adjust the brake pressure?

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

Try wiggling the wheel on the back, but if recommend returning it. I hated mine.

sounds like the push pull thingy on the bottom needs to be reset. the part im talking about is the thing that contacts the stop ramp and stops the wheels from turning.

Same problem here. Sorry to say we've had no luck getting the wheel(s) to stay on. Keep reattaching, but still no luck.

I agree with dgminer; you have to snap it into place. It felt like I was forcing it, and then I gave it a little more elbow grease and it snapped on. You might to rotate it slowly as you try to snap it on.

If it is not broke you just turn it to the right one number at a time. It may be very tight. Mine was tight and I just loosened it up a bit. It will turn easily and feels like it wo't turn but it will. Just turn it to 2 and ride it to see if the adjustment was made. I ride at 3 most of the time unless I am training for a race then I ride on 4. I am 66 so I am not into making my legs that much stronger. It may be broke but I doubt it if it is new. I love my unit and I have over 5,000 miles on it.

flip the wheel to the other side and that should be the free wheel side. make sure that your bike has 2 gears 1 on each side.

You could use rim brakes. You could just take the arm of the hub and the brakes would not work. Doug

Sorry, I don't really know. If yours is a Power Wheels, might give it a try. If not, I'd try something else.

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.

It is normal to have a little increased resistance compared to a normal wheel. You should still be able to ride it, but it will feel very slow. If the wheel doesn't turn at all, then it is either defective or installed wrong.

There are "handle squeeze brakes" that only lock the wheels when squeezed till you hear a click. You an slow your pace, if that is your question.

Not sure, but it sounds like cable needs to be shortened slightly. This is usually done by adjusting the fittings where the cable attaches to the brake handle.

You can apply the brakes independently with the slider switch on the bottom. Mr. Foley, have you tried to increase the brake power (voltage) on the controller. You might have a unique circumstance with your trailer. This video on youtube, is how I did it. I assume that every time you change the weight of the trailer significantly, you'll need to readjust the brake power (voltage) setting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCKveEGHVgYIf the link doesn't work just go to youtube and type in "Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller - Setting the power output".

Try holding the screen next to the sensor and spin the wheel. Then put it back on the bars an do it again, this worked for me.

My local bike shop ( River City Bike ) adjusted the brakes and it helped a lot. The rims being painted doesn't help. But the adjustment was enough to be acceptable. You just can't use too much rear brake. Hope this helps!

I took the old one off, laying the parts in a line; then put new one on. The most difficulty is doing the front wheel with the brake. It just takes more time.
