SHIQINHA Brake Pads for Super 73 S1 S2 Z1 ZX R K1D — Front & Rear Sintered, High-Friction

SHIQINHA front and rear brake pads are a sintered semi-metallic replacement kit engineered to restore strong, consistent stopping power for Super 73 and many popular electric-bike models.

If your e-bike feels less responsive when braking or you want a reliable spare set built to handle higher weight and speed, these pads are formulated for electric-bike demands. The kit fits a wide range of models—from Super 73 series to several mainstream e-bike brands—and replaces common Shimano and Tektro pad types. They combine a high-friction compound with improved heat dissipation to deliver predictable braking across varied terrain and weather.

Which electric bikes and brake calipers will these pads fit?

The SHIQINHA kit is designed to be broadly compatible with Super 73 S1, S2, Z1, ZX, R, K1D and related Adventure and Miami variants, plus many other makes and models. It’s a direct replacement for Shimano B01S/B03S/B05S and fits several TEKTRO caliper part numbers, making it a versatile option for owners seeking a drop-in swap.

• Super 73: S1, S2, S2X Indian, Z1, ZX, Z Miami, Adventure series, R, R Brooklyn, K1D
• Lectric: XP 1.0/2.0, Lite 1.0, XP Step-Thru 1.0/2.0
• Other brands: Rad Power, Velotric, Juiced RipRace*, Cowbo* C1, Ride1Up, Aventon Aventure 2 (front/rear universal)
• Direct replacements: Shimano B01S/B03S/B05S and TEKTRO F10XS/E10.11/P20.11/A10.1

How do these pads perform compared to stock pads?

These sintered semi-metallic pads are matched to the higher loads and speeds typical of electric bikes, so you can expect stronger initial bite and consistent performance under heavy use. Their compound emphasizes heat management and wear resistance, which helps maintain braking feel during long descents or frequent stop-start rides.

• High-friction formula for reliable stopping power
• Improved heat dissipation to reduce fade during extended braking
• Durable wear resistance for longer service life on heavier bikes

Is installation difficult and what tools are needed?

Installation is straightforward and largely tool-free: the pads slide into the caliper and are secured with cotter pins supplied in the kit. Most users can complete front and rear pad changes in minutes without specialized tools, though a basic set of allen keys and pliers helps for wheel removal and pin handling.

• Insert pads into caliper slots and align backing plates
• Secure with cotter pins included in the package
• Optional: quick rotor check and bed-in rides after installation

What are the maintenance tips and expected lifespan?

Keep rotors clean and avoid contamination from oils or cleaners to get the most life from the pads. Lifespan varies with riding style, terrain, and load, but sintered semi-metallic compounds generally last longer than organic pads when used on heavy, high-speed e-bikes.

• Inspect pads and rotors regularly for wear and glazing
• Bed in new pads with a series of controlled stops to optimize contact
• Replace sooner if metal backing becomes visible or braking weakens

Who is this for: This SHIQINHA brake-pad kit is aimed at e-bike riders who need a durable, high-friction replacement for Super 73 models and many other popular electric bikes. It’s ideal for commuters, cargo riders, and anyone who wants a reliable, drop-in pad option that copes with heavier loads and more frequent braking without complicated installation.
