I only touched one brake drum, and my wife only saw the one I touched because of where she was standing. I'd guess they were both hot--on.]]> Sat, 09 Jun 2018 19:03:13 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11696&PID=110449#110449 Brakes Stock On : Glad you found that issue, so... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11696&PID=110448#110448 Author: mcarter

Glad you found that issue, so you had one locked brake? I could be wrong but I don't think the ebrake locks one brake. I need to check.]]> Sat, 09 Jun 2018 18:14:48 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11696&PID=110448#110448 Brakes Stock On : Originally posted by Pete... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11696&PID=110442#110442 Author: Tom A

One side? The Ebrake switch should engage both sides. Unless there is a wiring issue at hub that only allows one brake engagement. Checking switch is easy. After that look at locked side.]]> Sat, 09 Jun 2018 15:37:10 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11696&PID=110438#110438 Brakes Stock On : Check your emergency breakaway... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11696&PID=110437#110437 Author: Pete Brayton

I have a new Pod that has been on one short trip so far.  It has been parked for the past six weeks on my inclined driveway.  I got a new TV and hauled the Pod two blocks away to a parking lot so I could measure the the receiver height level.  After I got my measurement and got reattached I noticed it felt kind sluggish to pull and I heard soft brake squeal even when my brakes were not applied.  I suppose it's possible that it was the same when I towed it to the lot, but I wasn't aware of it.  When I got parked at home again my wife said the wheel was smoking-- sure enough the brake drum was hot to the touch.

Now what do I do?

Is it possible that the brakes got rusted and stuck in the past six weeks?
