My ebike is not built for the mountains so it has small rim brakes. I'm not concerned about braking power or overheating problems, I knoe how to avoid both problems. What im concerned about is the wear. Even without getting hot, mountaindescents are a lot of energy for those brakes.

The question is Relevant for a vacation where I'm bringing my ebike.

How do I minimize the amount of braking needed on descents without doing anything dangerous?
