- SmartBrake was mounted on TRETS JR, from Hase. Previously, we have had similar cases with Van Raam Easy Rider, 3-18 Momo and other models.

- SmartBrake 1×2 kit: 1 brake unit fitted with disc brake for 2 rear wheels (y-split). Brake lever mounted on the handlebars, adapted to the child's grip. In addition, the thumb brake was delivered as a companion control, with extra mounting brackets so that the trigger can be placed on several companion bikes both at school and at home.
- SmartBrake 1×1 kit: 1 brake unit mounted as a disc brake on the front wheel. Brake lever mounted on the handlebars, adapted to the child's grip.
