E-Moto Brake Upgrades: Ultra Bee Brakes vs Formula E-Moto Brake
Emirali MazanovStock brakes are usually the first thing riders outgrow on a light e-moto. You go faster, ride harder, and suddenly the lever comes back further than you'd like. We sell two main brake upgrades: Sur-Ron Ultra Bee brakes with our mounts, and the Formula E-Moto Brake. Here's how they compare and which one fits your bike.
Option 1: Ultra Bee brake conversion
The most common brake upgrade for the Talaria XXX, Talaria Sting and Sur-Ron Light Bee X is fitting the brakes from the bigger Sur-Ron Ultra Bee. Our Ultra Bee brake kit comes with:
- A pre-bled, genuine factory-spec Sur-Ron Ultra Bee rear brake: caliper, hose and master cylinder
- Our 6061-T6 aluminum mount with an integrated rotor guard, in black or silver
- A thick 240mm stainless steel rotor
It arrives pre-bled, so it bolts on ready to ride with no bleeding needed. Choose the version for your bike: Talaria XXX / XXX Pro / Sting MX3 / MX4, or Sur-Ron Light Bee X / E-Ride Pro S, SS / Segway X160, X260. You can add our upgraded brake lever and reservoir cap at checkout.
Riding a Yozma or Tuttio? There are kits made for those bikes too: the Yozma IN10 / Tuttio Soleil Ultra Bee brake kit and the Yozma IN10 Pro kit. Both come pre-bled with an aluminum mount and work with your stock rotor.
Option 2: Formula E-Moto Brake
The Formula E-Moto Brake is a complete brake system built for the lightweight e-moto category:
- Motorcycle-style master cylinder with more oil capacity and a larger piston, paired with a motorcycle lever for progressive, precise control
- Four-piston calipers in a compact size that suits light e-motos
- Sintered brake pads included
- DOT 4 oil to help keep brake temperature and performance consistent under heavy use
- Forged, anodized aluminum parts
It comes as a rear brake, a front brake, or a full front and rear set. Fitment: Talaria MX3 / MX4 / XXX, Sur-Ron LBX, LBS and L1E, Segway X-260 / X-160, E-Ride Pro S / SS 1.0 and 2.0, Rawrr Mantis, 79Bike Falcon M, Ventus One, RFN Apollo and Rerode R1. It mounts to the stock fork with a PM6 mount and fits rotors up to 3mm thick. Post-mount adapter kits are sold separately for discs up to 230mm.
Important: it doesn't fit bikes that come with DOT brakes from the factory, such as the E-Ride Pro 3.0 / SR, Talaria MX5 and Altis Sigma.
Which one should I get?
- Talaria XXX, Sting or Light Bee X, upgrading the rear brake: the Ultra Bee brake kit is our most popular choice and arrives pre-bled.
- Front and rear, from one system: the Formula E-Moto Brake full set.
- Yozma IN10 or Tuttio Soleil: the Ultra Bee kit for your bike.
