MotoE and Formula E: balance comes from Brembo brakes

​It was the introduction of Spark Racing Technology's Gen2s, the new-generation single-seaters, that led to Brembo brakes being used. Much more powerful and high performing than those that had competed in previous years, the new single seaters can go from a top speed of 225 km/h to 280 km/h and the battery capacity has increased from 28 kWh to 54 kWh.

The e-races are a very interesting development platform for Brembo which can test and develop specific technical solutions. The idea is to then transfer the new technologies onto cars and motorcycles destined for road use.

In both categories, the organizers want a brake system that is the same for everyone so as not to affect the sports results and avoid an escalation of costs. Following this logic, it is the driver who is most capable of using the brakes, among other things, who wins. ​
