Do I need a remote? – For users who prefer not to use a smartphone, we offer a remote alternative to the Elecbrakes App. The remote provides a simple way of adjusting your braking responses and access to Manual Override. For the best user experience and system visibility, we recommend using the Elecbrakes App. The remote is powered by a USB cable (included) and connected via Bluetooth, allowing you to easily adjust braking response with the push of a button.
