The electric city bike requires an efficient braking system to manage their speed and their weight, which is often greater than that of conventional bikes. Here is a complete guide to the types, features, and best brands of E-bike brakes.
Types of E-bike brakes
1. Hydraulic disc brakes
Features :Use a hydraulic system with brake fluid for optimal stopping power.
Offer excellent modulation and responsiveness, even in difficult conditions.
Advantages: High power, great durability, consistent operation in rain or mud.
Disadvantages: Technical maintenance and higher initial cost.
2. Mechanical disc brakes
Features :Use cables to operate the calipers.
Less expensive than hydraulic systems, but require frequent adjustments.
Advantages: Simple to maintain, affordable cost.
Disadvantages: Less power and modulation than a hydraulic system.
3. Pad brakes (on rim)
Features :Operate by friction on the rim.
Not very suitable for electric bikes due to the additional weight of the eBike.
Advantages: Lightweight, simple to maintain, inexpensive.
Disadvantages: Poor performance in the rain, rapid wear of the rims.
4. Coaster brakes
Features :
Braking activated when pedaling backwards.Mainly used on electric urban bikes.
Advantages: Ease of use, low maintenance.
Disadvantages: Less suitable for steep slopes or sports use.

Prolonged descents generate a lot of heat. Systems with ventilated discs or heat resistant pads are recommended.Maintenance
