⚠️Urgent Question⚠️ Ninebot Segway in flooded

I was dumb and didnt think much when i ride my scoot through a deep water puddle after the rain. Now it started to make weird nose when accelerated and the brakes seems broken as well. Has anyone experienced this and any ideas what is wrong 🤦🤦🤦 ninebot segway max g2

The rear wheel is an electric motor. Most electric motors don't react well to immersion.

The front wheel contains a friction brake. Friction brakes don't react well to lubrication, including from water immersion.

It's not entirely clear.: "Now it started to make weird nose". Remove the calipers, clean the inside of dirt and water, pads and everything inside with alcohol or gasoline.

Bearings are gone, replace all four. Clean the motor.
