How important do you give to the brakes of your e-bike? How often do you change them?

The brakes of a bicycle and specifically of an electric bicycle are a fundamental part of its safety.

The fact that an e-bike is equipped with batteries and motors that boost speed , makes the choice of the braking system especially important to guarantee the safety of its use and therefore the use of specific components for electric bicycles is essential.

At Bewatt we are aware of the importance that brakes imply in our e-bike, we wanted to entrust this part to SHIMANO. Japanese multinational, famous for manufacturing components for bicycles that are over 100 years old.

Our alliance with SHIMANO extends to our three categories of electric bicycles: mountain, road and urban and not only to the part braking.

In the ELITE and PRO electric mountain bike models, the brakes used were SHIMANO Saint 4-piston and Shimano XT 4-piston, respectively specific brakes for e-bikes, as well as being Shimano's most powerful model. In both cases, we have not wanted to provide only this part of the e-bike with SHIMANO, but also stems, handlebars, pedals, seatposts and saddle belong to the Japanese multinational. The choice of SHIMANO and specifically the Saint model to our E-MTB models provide greater resistance and quality, as well as the best technology to our e-bikes.

In the case of our electric road bike model, we have gone further, equipping this e-bike not only with the brakes of the Shimano Ultegra group, but also the transmission, handlebars and chain. Giving this e-bike an ultra-fast continuous gearbox, one of the best transmissions in the world and absolute braking control.

In our urban electric bicycle model, we did not want to make an exception and for this model, the brakes used are Shimano GRX. Once again, the use of the brand's components is not only reduced to the brakes, but also the levers, calipers, derailleur, push button, grips and saddle carry the Shimano brand.

The change of the brakes, in addition Apart from fundamentally depending on the qualities of the components, the kilometers traveled and the weight of the cyclist also influence. Our alliance with Shimano, like the rest of the brands and components, elevates our products by providing them with the best technologies on the market to ensure fun, quality and safety.
