Maguras MT5’s are 100% worth their hype and price tag
After 200 miles on my Magura MT5s, these calipers feel like they could stop a moving train. Hydraulic brakes, in general, are a significant improvement over mechanical brakes and will transform the way you ride with renewed confidence.
Dualtron Magura Resources

At $130 per caliper, excluding time, effort, royal blood, sweat, and tears, this modification is not cheap.
Magura installations can cost between $500 and $1000 in New York City. When compared to a bicycle, Magura’s are a pain in the butt to install. Unlike bikes, you’ll need to strip down your Dualtron and rerun a bunch of wires. Removing the handlebar components and old brakes, running the cables through the stem, neck, soldering, bleeding, etc., could take a beginner between 6 and 14+ hours. This upgrade is not for the faint of heart. Some of the steps can get pretty tedious.

Jak VS Zoom VS Magura
The Dualtron Eagle Pro comes with single piston Jak calipers, decent for lower speeds (up to 25 mph) but not suitable for sustained high rates or long-range group rides. After 400 miles with the Jak brakes, I upgraded to the Zoom Xtech, semi-hydraulic brake calipers. These two-piston semi-hydraulic brake calipers were a nice upgrade but didn’t have the stopping power I was looking for. I still noticed strains in my wrists from pulling the levers aggressively during group rides. After 1400 miles on the Eagle Pro, I finally decided to buy Magura MT5 calipers and take on the elusive Magura installation challenge.

While I have a pair of 160mm rotors, I’m planning to save those for a different project down the line. I also found that the 140mm rotors were fine for my daily usage and average speed. The idea behind Magura’s mighty stopping power is credited to the 4-piston hydraulic system that covers more surface area of the rotor, which applies smooth and even pressure to stop your electric scooter on a dime. I was finally done after two days of stripping down my Eagle Pro, running wires, fleeting moments of regret and frustration, and countless oil leaks on my kitchen floor!

In hindsight, the installation wasn’t that bad, it was long, but not bad.
Overall, the installation process was long and filled with trial and error for a first-timer. I also skipped a critical step; I didn’t put the piston blocker in the calipers when bleeding, which led me to waste three rounds of mineral oil and countless hours. For the average person, this process can be long and challenging, but rewarding! This installation should be much easier for any tinkerer, mechanic, or bike enthusiast.

High level overview of the process
- Strip down handle bars, stem, and deck
- Remove old calipers, cable lines, and cut brake sensors
- Install new calipers and run the wires from the rotor through deck, headset, stem, and handle bar
- Put handle bars, stem, deck back together
- Trim hydraulic hose to fit
- Bleed the levers and caliper
- Solder the brake electric brake sensors to controller wires
While I’ve listed seven high-level steps, there are 10-20 minor steps in between them. I’m working on step 7 and will release the full write-up and video when I can make the time. Please stay tuned!

Are Magura brakes worth the time and money invested?
Magura’s are worth the time and money invested. I wish the Dualtron Eagle Pro had a hydraulic option for riders to purchase out of the box. But since they don’t, I’m glad I was able to learn how to install them myself.
The Problem with Time
If you’re not into self-modding, DIY, or you don’t have the time or interest but have the budget, I recommend having the installation done by a local electric scooter mechanic. While expensive, you can allocate your precious finite time to more important things in life and not have to deal with buying tools, parts, and trial and error. But if you have time, love tinkering and learning new things, and save money by self-servicing, the Magura job is super satisfying and rewarding; once you’re done, that is.

Very eager to watch the full tutorial or showing whats needed to accomplish this one, also using stock discs is a plus (Monetary wise lol)
hey bud, I’ll try to get this out soon, i have the footage, just not time to piece it together. let me know if you have questions. it’s not that bad.
lol, thanks man, I’ll work on that one next.
Can I use the stock rotors on my Eagle Pro with the Magura installation or do I need different rotors. Will this upgrade eliminate the squeaking stock front brakes problem or will they still squeak at times?
No squeaks, you can use the stock 140mm, they work fine. adding the 160mm isn’t necessary, as we’re limited at 40mph. but some like the 160mm for even more stopping power and rotor coverage and heat dissipation.
stock rotors are fine. Can’t say about the sqeaking noise, you can always try to tighten up the caliper to the brackets to see if that helps.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with the brake upgrade on the eagle Pro. Will this upgrade eliminate the squeaking that is the real annoying aspect of the stock brakes and how is the braking feel different? With the motor braking on, I have not found the stock brakes to be weak, just mechanically harsh and jerky. I really look forward to your video and step-by-step directions so that I can do this myself. Please let me know as soon as the video is available.
Thanks again,
Dan
No problem man! The Maguras are a game changer, like having a delicious steak or top shelf whiskey. I’ll do the video soon!
Any chance you could give a step by step instructions on how to do this installation?
I have the footage, just need time to put it together, let me know if you have questions. Essentially you’re just swapping calipers, running the wires cleanly is the hardest part as it takes a long time to do. everything else is busy work.
Hola, yo tengo en mi Eagle Pro discos de 160m.m, se podrían montar sin problema?.
Muchas gracias, un saludo
It should be fine! you will need to disconnect the side arms, motors, and phase wires to get to the disc on the motor. good luck!
I finally received my Magura Brake set for my Eagle Pro. I am now ready to do the tear down and installation. Any chance you could send me a step by step tutorial with just some photos before you do your usual great video production? If not are there any other available installation guides out there on the web that show pictures. I know I can do it but don’t want to make mistakes and a mess with the oil.
Thanks so much,
Dan
