THE ELECBRAKES STORY
From a humble garage on the NSW Central Coast to becoming Australia’s leader in intelligent towing technology.
TRANSFORMING TOWING
— One Innovation at a Time
The idea for Elecbrakes came from a frustratingly common issue. Founder Craig de Leon wanted to borrow his in-laws' caravan, but his vehicle didn't have an electric brake controller. Fitting one meant modifying the dashboard, complex wiring, and significant time and cost.
That experience sparked a question: why wasn't there a smarter, more flexible solution? Together with his wife Katrina, Craig set out to reimagine what a brake controller could be, and Elecbrakes was born.
After nearly a decade of innovation, our vision remains strong: to deliver world-class towing technology, made in Australia, for all roads and drivers.

POWERING AUSTRALIAN INNOVATION
Proudly designed and manufactured in Australia, Elecbrakes has been redefining towing technology since 2016, delivering innovative solutions for safer, smarter and smoother towing.
ELBC2000 (Legacy)
Our first concept becomes a reality: a trailer-mounted brake controller that doesn't require permanent vehicle modifications.
EB2
Built on that foundation of the ELBC with plug & play installation, customisable braking profiles, IP67-rated durability and over-the-air updates, delivering greater convenience, control and reliability.
Apple CarPlay & Android Auto™
Elecbrakes is the first to offer an electric brake controller with seamless compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™.
VM1
Answered the call for a vehicle-mounted solution, built on the same advanced technology as the EB2 for drivers who tow multiple trailers with a single vehicle.
elecConnect™
Developed over three years, elecConnect™ is a locally engineered adaptor, designed and manufactured in-house and available in three configurations for maximum compatibility.
SwayControl
Our game changing patent-pending technology that controls trailer sway. Fully integrated into the EB2 and the VM1 at no extra cost, delivering a world-first all-in-one solution and setting the benchmark for what a brake controller should be.
