E-Motorcycle Brake Upgrade Guide

Choose by your bike and by wheel position. Front and rear rotors use different mounting patterns on the Sur-Ron Light Bee, so plan each end on its own.

EP8-II for the Light Bee

Our EP8-II has eight pistons, four 14mm and four 17mm, and runs on DOT 5.1 from a large reservoir. It is CNC cut from 7075-T6 aluminum with independent cooling fins.

It comes with the adapter and rotor guard for the Light Bee. Fitting it is a setup job rather than a simple swap, so read the product page first.

Adapter, Guard and Handguards

Our adapter and rotor guard is CNC cut from 7075 aluminum for fitting the EP8+ rear brake on the Surron Light Bee. If you ride a Talaria, ask us before you order, because coverage depends on the model. It comes in silver and black.

Prosafe handguards are made for mountain bikes, dirt bikes and e-bikes, with a 7075 aluminum clamp and a composite guard. A set weighs 108g.
