Our Story

Innovation, safety, and seamless control — redefining the way you tow.

The elecbrakes story so far...

Transforming Towing, One Innovation at a Time

Elecbrakes began with a simple yet powerful vision: to make towing safer, smarter, and easier for everyone. Founded by Craig and Katrina, the journey started with a deep understanding of the challenges faced by everyday Australians towing caravans, trailers, and more. They saw a clear problem—traditional electric brake controllers were complicated, time-consuming to install, and often required vehicle modifications. This sparked the idea for Elecbrakes, a game-changing solution designed to revolutionise towing safety and convenience.

Pioneering Australian Innovation

Proudly designed and manufactured in Australia, Elecbrakes has been redefining towing technology since 2016.

It began with the launch of the ELBC2000, our first trailer-mounted brake controller and a game-changer for the industry. Since then, we’ve continued to innovate – introducing the trailer-mounted EB2 as the next evolution, and expanding our range with the vehicle-mounted VM1 system. Grounded in engineering excellence and driven by relentless R&D, we’re committed to pushing the boundaries of performance, safety, and reliability.
