This video isa a full review and road test of the Elecbrakes eb2 brake controller.

What makes the Elecbrakes eb2 so interesting and effective?

Here in Australia you need an electric brake controller to tow any trailer over two tonnes. The conventional approach involves hard-wiring a controller to every vehicle tasked with towing such a trailer. That gets kind of expensive. Especially if you’ve got one trailer - a boat, caravan, camper trailer, horse float, excavator, diesel generator, whatever, and multiple vehicles, potentially, that tow it.You could be up for several hard-wired brake controllers. And if you upgrade to a new vehicle, you instantly need another one, plus you need to pay for installation, again. There’s actually a much better way to do this.That 'better way' is the EB2 brake controller from Elecbrakes. Elecbrakes is an Aussie business on the NSW Central Coast. They’ve got integrated production, assembly and R&D, in-house. They’re legitimately an Aussie manufacturing innovator and success story. But until I got tipped off, I’d never actually heard of them.A simple black box is the brain. It stays on the trailer, and if it’s there, you DO NOT need a brake controller fitted to the tow vehicle. It’s simple but sophisticated - there’s even an accelerometer inside, which enables proportional braking, plus you get dynamic adaptation to hills built in.So: one trailer, one controller. And most handy dudes can install the EB2 easily. Four self-drilling screws is really all it takes. And they’re in the box. The braking response is very tunable. You can easily tweak it for your particular combination. Plus, there are five preset programs.
