How Long Does It Take to Stop on Your E-Moto?

If you’re riding an E-Moto at 28 miles per hour, that’s fast — even faster than most cars go in a neighborhood! But going that fast means you need a LOT of room to stop safely.

Here’s what you should know:
At 28 mph, you might travel almost 100 feet in just 2.5 seconds before you even react and touch the brakes.
After that, depending on how good you are at braking, it could take up to 200 feet to fully stop. That’s more than half a football field!
If you only use your back brake or don’t know how to brake properly, it takes even longer to stop, and you could crash.

Why this matters:
E-Motos are heavier and faster than regular bikes.
The faster you go, the harder it is to stop in time.
You might not have enough space to stop if a car, person, or dog crosses your path.

Tips for you:
Slow down when you ride, especially near people or cars.
Practice braking with both brakes.
Always look ahead so you have time to react.

Stay safe and give yourself plenty of space to stop — even on an E-Moto!
