Tektro HD-E350 Hydraulic E-Bike Brakes
The workhorse e-bike brake. Hydraulic power with a built-in motor cutoff switch, found on countless factory bikes and a reliable, affordable upgrade.
The HD-E350 is Tektro's e-bike-specific hydraulic brake: strong, consistent, and fitted with a motor-inhibitor switch so power cuts the instant you brake. It's the brake on a huge number of factory e-bikes because it delivers real hydraulic stopping at a sane price.
For a heavier e-bike, hydraulic discs aren't a luxury — they're a safety necessity. Upgrading mechanical discs to the HD-E350 (with a larger rotor up front) transforms stopping power on a loaded or fast bike.
Where to buy

Pro tips from our test team
- Run a bigger front rotor (180–203mm) for heavier or faster bikes.
- The motor-cutoff switch is a real safety feature — keep it wired in.
- Bed in new pads and rotors before relying on full stopping power.
