Default brake pad life

how long should a pair of brake pads generally last on on HAH 05?

and everyone how many miles do you have on your ride now?

im pushing 27,000 miles on my ride, the more miles i put on it the better the gas mileage seems to get. i have changed my oil every 4 to 5k miles, is there any other maintanace i should be doing here soon?

thanks,
Todd

Well... On my HCH, the brake pads lasted 4.5 years and 107,500 miles! Since the HAH uses the same regenerative braking, you should go quite a long time before you need a replacement.

.

Hope is like a candle held against the night.

Dependent on the dust/pollen/whatever in your area, I change my engine air filter and cabin air filter (CAF) out every 15K. But I believe the manual says every 30K under normal conditions. I live in the desert.

I also do my oil around every 5K and rotate my tires every 10K. They're nice and easy round numbers, so it's easy to remember when you last changed them and when the next service is due.
