Core Product Highlights

1. Ergonomic Forged Aluminum Alloy Brake Lever with Split Oil Pipe Design

Independently developed by NUTT, the brake lever retains the reliable structural design of classic four-piston brake products. The streamlined ergonomic shape brings comfortable gripping experience during long-time high-speed riding. The practical split oil pipe structure helps lower the possibility of hydraulic oil leakage during transportation and internal wiring installation, which can help prolong the service life of your brake system. Equipped with a 2-pin waterproof power-off interface, it can maintain stable signal transmission in rainy, dusty and humid outdoor environments, delivering reliable safety performance for daily riding.

2. Bilateral 4-Piston Synchronous Drive Brake Caliper

Upgraded on the basis of mature four-piston brake technology, this product adopts bilateral four-piston synchronous clamping structure, which delivers balanced steady braking performance for heavy-load and high-speed riding scenarios. The four pistons squeeze the brake pads at the same time to make the brake pads fit closely with the brake rotor, enabling even force distribution on the rotor surface and can lower the chance of uneven rotor wear during frequent braking. The precision machined aluminum alloy caliper can resist erosion from mud, sand and rainwater, helping maintain stable braking performance across various road conditions. Matched with multiple IS standard conversion adapters, this brake can be installed on most mainstream electric scooter frames and front forks.

3. Built-In Waterproof Power-Off Sensor for Riding Safety

Consistent with the mature safety design of mainstream electric vehicle hydraulic brakes, each brake set is equipped with an integrated power cut-off sensor customized for electric two-wheelers. When you squeeze the brake lever, the waterproof sensor will send a synchronous signal to cut off the motor power immediately. This linkage design helps shorten braking distance and provides extra safeguard for your vehicle's power system during emergency stops. With optimized leverage ratio, riders can achieve smooth brake modulation without applying excessive finger force, bringing controllable riding experience in busy urban traffic and steep downhill sections.

4. Wide Compatibility & Practical Upgraded Details

This brake is professionally engineered for mainstream electric scooters and electric bicycles including KUGOO, Dualtron and Kaabo series. It supports three common rotor sizes and multiple IS mounting adapters to fit different vehicle frame layouts. Each brake set is pre-filled with dedicated mineral hydraulic oil before delivery, equipped with complete installation bolts, conversion seats and high wear-resistant metal brake pads. Riders can finish brake replacement quickly without professional hydraulic maintenance skills, which lowers the daily installation and maintenance difficulty of your brake kit. Optimized on caliper mounting structure and oil pipe connection mode, it adapts to more modified electric vehicles.
