Frequently asked questions

Are hydraulic brakes worth it on an e-bike?

For faster or heavier e-bikes, yes. They offer stronger, more consistent stopping with less hand effort than mechanical brakes.

Can any scooter be converted to hydraulic brakes?

Many can if there is mounting space and compatible parts. A shop checks the frame and caliper mounts before recommending the conversion.
