Why is the standard braking system electric and not surge?
Electric brakes provide instant activation as well as full braking power in reverse. All of our trailers are equipped with all wheel brakes ranging from single to quad axle trailers. Also, surge brakes are not legal in over half of the US states. These states have a law that says you have to be able to independently activate the trailer brakes from inside the tow vehicle. They are referring to the brake controller unit inside a tow vehicle for the electric brakes. We believe stopping the weight behind you is incredibly important and electric brakes provide the proper power to do so. We can, of course, build surge if you prefer, if they are legal in your state of registration. We also have electric over hydraulic brakes which are 50 state legal (drum or disc) and we can even do air over hydraulic brakes.
