Stock brakes are usually the first thing that holds a fast electric dirt bike back. The motor pulls hard, the bike is heavier than a mountain bike, and most factory brakes are bicycle-style parts doing a motorcycle's job. If your lever comes back to the bar on a long downhill, or the brakes fade after a few hard stops, it's time.
This is our model-by-model shortlist of brake upgrades we carry and run ourselves. If you want the background on pads, rotors, calipers and fluid first, read our guide on how to improve e-moto stopping power, then come back here to pick parts.
The four upgrade paths
- Pads – cheapest fix, and often the biggest improvement per dollar.
- Bigger rotors – more leverage and more metal to soak up heat. Usually needs a caliper adapter.
- Complete hydraulic brake systems – Formula and TRP four-piston systems built for lightweight e-motos.
- Moto brake conversions – "Ultra Bee brakes": a real motorcycle-style caliper and master cylinder, plus optional foot brake kits.
E-Ride Pro
SS 3.0 and SR
These already run larger moto-style brakes, so the upgrades are about feel and heat:
- Formula EB9 E-Moto Brakes for E-Ride Pro SS 3.0/SR – a complete system swap if you want the best lever feel.
- Warp 9 Upgraded Rotors for E-Ride Pro SS 3.0/SR
- Project 9 Upgraded Brake Pads for MX5, 3.0, SR, Tork, Sigma
- EBIKE Garage Foot Brake Kit for E-Ride Pro SS 3.0 / SR – moves the rear brake to your right foot like a real dirt bike.
- ASV F4-E Break Away Levers – check whether your bike has Type 1 or Type 2 brakes before ordering.
S and SS 2.0
- Formula EB7 E-Moto Brakes – plug-and-play on the 74.2 mm mount used by the SS 2.0.
- EBike Garage Moto Brake Conversion Kit for E-Ride Pro S, SS 2.0
- EBIKE Garage Foot Brake Kit for E-Ride Pro S, SS 2.0
- ASV F3-E Break Away Levers for E-Ride Pro 1.0/2.0/Mini
Sur-Ron
Light Bee X
- EBike Garage Moto Brake Conversion Kit ("Ultra Bee Brakes") for Surron LBX – the most popular big-brake swap for the LBX.
- Formula EB7 or Formula E-Moto Brakes – both list the Light Bee as a direct fit.
- TRP DH-R EVO – sold per side; buy left and right for a full set.
- Warp 9 220mm Upgraded Brake Rotors – the LBX needs a 220 mm caliper adapter.

Ultra Bee
- EBIKE Garage Floating Brake Rotor for Ultra Bee or Warp 9 Ultra Bee 240mm and 260mm Rotors
- EBMX Competition Brake Pads for Ultra Bee

Talaria
Sting R MX4, Sting MX3 and XXX
- EBike Garage Moto Brake Conversion Kit for Talaria MX4 / XXX
- Formula EB7 – lists the Sting MX3/MX4 as plug-and-play.
- Rippin Moto 250mm Race Spec Rotor (front) – needs a 250 mm caliper adapter.
- ASV F3-E Break Away Levers for Talaria/Surron
Sting MX5
The MX5 shares its larger caliper, pad and lever family with the E-Ride Pro SS 3.0/SR, so a lot of parts cross over:
- Formula EB9 E-Moto Brakes for Talaria Sting MX5 / Altis Sigma
- Warp 9 Upgraded Brake Rotor for Talaria Sting MX5
- EBIKE Garage Foot Brake Kit for Talaria Sting MX5
Yozma and other pit bikes
The Ultra Bee Brake Upgrade Kit for Yozma, Tuttio, Strike, Valtinsu, Tasaca, Villain swaps the small stock rear brake for an Ultra Bee V2-style caliper and master cylinder. It uses your stock rotor and comes pre-bled. Check the axle size (12 mm or 15 mm) and bracket version listed on the product page.
79Bike, Rerode and Ventus
EBike Garage also makes moto brake conversions and foot brake kits for 79Bike and Ventus One. The TRP DH-R EVO lists the 79Bike Falcon M/Pro/GT and Rerode R1/R1+ as fits.
Where to start
- Pads first. If your brakes feel weak but don't fade, fresh performance pads may be all you need.
- Rotors next. A bigger rotor gives more bite and resists fade. Don't forget the adapter.
- Full system or moto conversion if you're fast, heavy or ride steep terrain.
