Is there a bicycle brake that fits my individual needs?

Since the motorcycle accident five years ago, Brian had been in a wheelchair. He was determined not to give up his active lifestyle and had tried many different activities. Last year, he had tested several types of bikes adapted to his disability. Cycling was an activity he greatly enjoyed; it provided exercise and a sense of freedom while allowing him to explore new places. The only challenge for Brian was braking; he lacked the hand strength to brake with the bike's handles. With a brake tailored to his weak grip, he would be able to travel anywhere.

The use of bikes adapted for disabilities has become very popular, and the range of bikes is increasing every year. At the same time, there is a common challenge for all bikes; they come with standard brakes developed for functionally strong and healthy individuals. These brakes are rigid, difficult to use, and often oversized for users with reduced hand grip. Several factors affect a person's ability to activate the brakes on a bike; in this article, we have highlighted the ten most common reasons why a standard brake does not work for everyone.


Finding the optimal customized brake solution is complicated; Type of disability, bike model and size, scope of use, trail profile, and total weight load are all factors to consider. In developing SmartBrake, our goal was to design modules that combine solutions that best fit the specific user needs. Thus, with SmartBrake, you can build your set, like Lego. Combine brake units with brake controllers of your choice. The wireless technology makes it easy to mount on any bike without special tools. SmartBrake requires limited hand strength, activates brakes and parks with a gentle touch, and allows companions to brake from a distance. The brake can be reversed, providing a safe solution for users with epilepsy. The patented technology fits any bike with either rim or disc brakes.

But Are Wireless Brakes Safe?
Yes, SmartBrake has built-in fault protection that automatically activates the brake in case of low battery or signal failure. For example, the brake will be activated if a companion moves more than 30 meters away from the bike. SmartBrake technology has been developed and thoroughly tested over many years and is based on a recognized and proven communication platform (RF / BLE). You can order SmartBrake directly from our online store or contact your bike distributor for assistance.
