The Avid BB7 is an industry standard caliper around for many years. fluidfreeride fitted it to work with the WideWheel including a custom adapter.
The inner and outer brake pads are adjustable by hand while the caliper is mounted which makes this easier to maintain vs the standard caliper coming with the WideWheel. Due to larger brake pad size it should also increase brake performance. If you are unhappy with your current caliper, try this upgrade.
Comes with WideWheel custom mount, mounting bolts, and cable end cap.
fluidfreeride WW customers use code AVID4WWSAVE40 to get it for $39.
Requires you to open the WideWheel bottom cover. Have a look at our installation instructions before you buy!

Avid BB7 Brake Caliper for Mercane WideWheel
I had a crack develop early on the handlebars of my widewheel. Peter, from Fluid Freeride very quickly responded to my request for help and immediately shipped a replacement handlbar. This might have been the easiest warranty response I've received on any product at any time. Thank you for your great service, Fluid Freeride! I will be a return customer.
It works great. The caliber that came with the unit was horrible, dangerous and in my opinion defective. This unit solved my problems but I had to pay 90.00 to stop correctly. But I feel confident and it was very simple to install and adjust.
Worth every penny
so I bought my mercane widewheel on the second hand market and no one had told me that the factory caliper was recalled. it explained A LOT when I found out because my stock caliper had been failing on me for several months now so I was thrilled when I found this solution from fluidfreeride. since i am not a customer of FFR, i was a little sad I had to pay the full price of $80 but honestly the money was well worth it considering how good the braking performance is now. the installation was very simple and believe it or not I didn't even have to remove the cover on the underside (I did it anyways, but the only thing I learned from doing is that my unit for whatever reason had more slack in the brake line than the unit shown in fluidfreeride's tutorial).
all in all, the brake feels AMAZING now and is significantly better than stock. I can fly down the steep hills of Seattle with full confidence again.
This caliper is the best upgrade you can do for your widewheel. Especially if it’s a non-pro model. After a few hard stops from top speed the original brake becomes spongy, weak, and in need of adjustment. After adjusting it, it took me just a few stops downhill to make it perform subpar again.
The new caliper fixed all that!!! The brake is A LOT more powerful now and I haven’t needed to adjust it yet.
The install is very straight forward, requiring just the basic tools (Allen keys even came with the scooter). Follow the video linked to the sale page and you’re good to go.
This is the most important upgrade to the scooter I’ve done so far.
