decent level hydraulic brake set with cut off for bbs02?

turns out this montague with the kit has hydraulics, they say promax on the spec sheet and i am guessing they are low level but maybe am wrong?

but it has no motor no cut offs and i want to put those on

it does not brake great and i am wondering if anyone sells full kits, rotors everything of a mid or better level set up with the cut offs in the brake levers?

the shop is checking out the brakes but am considering swapping all of it out
 

I had seen pics of these, and they sound like they integrate the sensor into the brake. All the adds I've seen show "out of stock", but I haven't searched that hard. I just use the Bafang units that alloy you to use the brakes of your choice. Some brands/models are more challenging than others to attach the bafang sensors, but when you get that sorted out they work well.
 
If you buy these you can put them on any hydro lever you pick.

You need to measure the hose runs so you order the correct size of the pre-blead package. The mounting spacers differ based on disc diameter. Sometimes it takes fitting to see which ones you will need and if you need to stack some washers. A good fit make all the difference. Often people mount brakes with only 1/2 of the pad in contact with a rotor.
 
You could use Magura MT5e brakes. The levers have red Julet plugs, which do not match the BBS02 wiring harness (they use yellow), but you can either get red-to-yellow adapter cables (AliExpress) or California Ebike has a replacement bus cable that has native red connectors. I have done both, with the red-to-red bus cable being my most recent and that was nice and clean. This is a premium brake solution so its not cheap but as a 4-pot hydraulic caliper with extra-thick rotors and cutoffs, its an excellent solution.

The price is not bad given the SRAM level is $65 per side. But confirm the hose length, keeping in mind that pre-blead is much nicer than cutting hoses and doing the bleed.
