Quick Answer
If you want the Tuttio Soleil 01 to feel more like a small dirt bike, the foot brake setup is the upgrade to look at first. Choose the foot brake bracket if you already have the rest of the brake setup planned. Choose the pre-bled Ultra Brake foot brake kit if you want the more complete, less-mess path.
A hand rear brake works. No argument there. But if you grew up on dirt bikes, pit bikes, or motorcycles, your right foot expects to have a job. That is the whole point of a Tuttio Soleil 01 foot brake upgrade.
Moving rear brake control down to the foot peg area changes the way the bike feels in corners, on loose ground, and during low-speed messing around. It also cleans up the bar setup, which matters on a small electric bike where every lever and cable starts fighting for space.
Why Add a Foot Brake?
The foot brake upgrade is mainly about control feel. You get a more familiar dirt-bike-style layout, better separation between throttle and rear brake inputs, and a cleaner cockpit if you are also running other bar-mounted controls.
It is not just a cosmetic mod. It changes how you ride the bike, especially if you are dragging rear brake through turns or trying to modulate braking while your throttle hand is busy.
Bracket vs. Complete Kit

Which One Should You Buy?
| Rider Situation | Best Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You want the complete foot brake conversion | Pre-Bled Foot Brake Kit | Less piecing together, less brake bleeding, more riding. |
| You already have brake parts planned | Foot Brake Bracket | Gets the mounting side handled without buying the full setup. |
| You want Ultra Bee brake hardware | Ultra Bee Brake Bracket + kit | The better path if braking power is the main goal. |
What Changes On The Bike?
The main change is where your rear brake input lives. Instead of your hand doing throttle and rear brake work from the bar, your foot takes over rear brake control. That feels more natural for riders with motorcycle or dirt bike muscle memory.
It can also make low-speed balance, sliding, and corner entry feel more predictable because your braking input is separated from your throttle hand.
LTG Rule of Thumb
If you ride the Tuttio like a little moto, the foot brake makes sense. If you ride it like a scooter around the driveway, the stock-style hand brake may already be enough.
