SmartBrake for riders and companions
SmartBrake provides electronic bicycle brake controls, with different options for the rider and the possibility of companion control. It may be relevant when a rider needs help regulating speed, stopping more safely or receiving assistance from a companion in particular situations.
Needs vary. SmartBrake should be assessed for the person, bicycle, activity and surroundings in which it will be used.

Help with braking
Support with speed, stopping and cycling practice
Hills, junctions and stopping can be challenging on a ride. Some riders need a different brake control; others need a companion who can help.
SmartBrake lets the rider or a companion operate the brake electronically. The choice of controls must take the rider’s needs and the bicycle into account.
Support with controlling speed
SmartBrake may be relevant when a rider needs help maintaining a safe, steady speed.
Help with stopping
The system may help make stopping more predictable and easier to manage.
Braking by a companion
In some situations, another person may need to help control speed or stopping.
Practise cycling together
Help with braking may allow the rider to practise with others.
Before choosing a system
Start with the planned ride
Describe where and how the bicycle will be used. This helps us assess whether SmartBrake may be suitable.
What would the person like to do?
The aim might be to cycle with family, join an activity, practise new skills or gain more freedom in everyday life.
Identify where difficulties arise: on slopes, at junctions, on uneven ground or when stopping the bicycle.
- Who will ride the bicycle?
- Where and how will it be used?
- What is difficult at present?
- What would the rider like to achieve?
The system must suit the bicycle
SmartBrake must be assessed alongside the bicycle’s construction, braking system and intended use. A mechanic or distributor may need to be involved.
Plan installation, positioning and operation before using the system.
- Which bicycle type and model is it?
- How is the braking system arranged?
- Who will operate SmartBrake?
- Who will handle servicing and checks?
