Why do you need e-bike brakes?

An e-bike is heavier and faster than a regular bike. Good brakes are therefore not a luxury but a necessity. They ensure that you come to a stop in time, even if you have to brake suddenly. E-bike brakes are specially designed for the higher speed and extra weight of electric bicycles.
They wear less quickly than standard brakes. And they give you more braking power with less effort. This is especially important in wet weather or on inclines.
 

Different e-bike brakes

You can choose from various components for your e-bike's braking system. Each component has its own function and characteristics.
•    E-bike brake levers: These are the handles you use to operate the brakes. Some models have a built-in motor cut-off. This turns off the motor when you brake. This is safer and prevents wear on your drivetrain. They are available in aluminum or plastic. Aluminum is stronger and more durable.
•    E-bike brake discs: Brake discs work together with brake pads to provide the actual braking power. They come in different diameters such as 160 mm or 180 mm. The larger the disc, the more braking power. For an e-MTB or fast e-bike, you often need a larger disc. Most brake discs are made of stainless steel.
•    E-bike disc brake pads: These press against the brake disc. There are pads made of organic material (quiet and good in dry weather) and sintered metal (durable and better in wet conditions). Which pads you need depends on your riding style and type of bike.
•    E-bike V-brake pads: For e-bikes with rim brakes. These are easy to replace and lighter than disc brakes. Ideal for city bikes. Pay attention to the length of the pad and the type of attachment.
•    E-bike brake cables: Brake cables connect the brake lever to the brake itself. Choose stainless steel cables with a smooth outer casing. This prevents friction and makes it easier to pull your brake.

Are you riding an e-MTB or fast e-bike? Then hydraulic disc brakes are usually better. They provide more control and require less maintenance. For a city bike or e-trekking bike, V-brakes or mechanical disc brakes are often sufficient.
 

What to consider when buying e-bike brakes?

•    Type of braking system – Pay attention to the type of braking system on your bike: hydraulic or mechanical, disc brake or rim brake. Your brake components must match this precisely.
•    Brake disc size – The diameter is often marked on the old disc itself. A larger disc provides more braking power. Your frame and fork must be able to handle that.
•    Brake pads – Choose pads that fit your brake caliper and brake disc. Check the brand and type of braking system to find the right shape and material.

Maintenance & lifespan
Want to enjoy your e-bike braking system for a long time? Keep brake pads and discs clean, and do not use oil or grease on the brake parts. Regularly check for wear and replace parts on time.
Ride controlled and do not brake unnecessarily hard. Replace worn parts on time and adjust your brakes properly.

Frequently asked questions about e-bike brakes

How do I know if my brakes are worn out?

You hear a grinding noise or your braking distance is longer. With brake pads, you see less profile or they are thin.
 

Can I use regular bike brakes on an e-bike?

No. They are not designed for higher speeds and wear out faster. Choose brakes specifically for e-bikes.
 

How often should I replace my brakes?

Replace brake pads after 1000 to 3000 km. Brake discs last longer but check them every 6 months.
 

What is better: hydraulic or mechanical brakes?

Hydraulic provides more braking power and is low maintenance. Mechanical is cheaper and easier to replace yourself.
 

What does a set of e-bike brakes cost on average?

Between 15 and 80 euros per component. Depending on brand, type, and material.
