i want to upgrade my brakes because the stock ones squeal and doesnt even stop the bike completely Considering Magura Mt5 but Im wondering where I can get new rotors or if there actually any brakes where I can keep my rotors

I like trp r1 rotors. They come in a thicker 2.3mm version that's better suited for ebikes, imo

But if your brakes aren't working, I'd look into why before loading up the parts cannon. It would be a good exercise in learning about the stuff so you're set up for success if you decide you wanted to change out parts yourself

Make sure you center your calipers for even braking pressure, also if the bike is new the brakes are supposed to squeal until you put about 30 miles worth of braking on it to wear down the coating on the pads, any new brake pads need to be bedded in
