Elecbrakes specializes in wireless electric brake controllers designed to offer a superior, plug-and-play solution for towing trailers without vehicle modifications.
Elecbrakes revolutionized the towing industry by introducing a wireless electric brake controller that mounts directly to the trailer rather than the tow vehicle. This innovative, plug-and-play system allows any capable vehicle to tow a trailer with electric brakes without the need for hardwired, car-specific controllers.
Ideal for multiple-vehicle owners, hire businesses, and casual towers, Elecbrakes offers complete flexibility and ease of use. The device connects via Bluetooth to an intuitive smartphone app or an optional remote, offering precision braking control, multiple custom programs, and an integrated SwayControl feature for maximum safety on the road.
