Is There a Bicycle Brake Adapted for Users with Epilepsy?

Ellen has had epilepsy her entire life. She has learned to live with unexpected seizures and tries to avoid letting the condition limit her activities. She wants to be active and independent like others. Ellen wants to ride a bike. It offers endless possibilities and the feeling of being able to participate. However, it doesn't come without risks for Ellen. She doesn't know if she will be able to stop the bike if she has a seizure. She always has a friend with her, but that doesn't help much if she can't control her speed in time.

Traditional bicycle brakes require the user to apply force to activate them. When a seizure occurs, a cyclist with epilepsy typically loses control of their muscles and thus cannot activate the brake.

A quick search for "epilepsy brake" yields few results; few solutions are available on the market for this large group of people.

SmartBrake Switch is specifically designed for epilepsy and Parkinson's. We have programmed the brake to work like a regular brake, just with the opposite movement. The user holds the lever in to release the brakes and releases the lever to achieve the braking effect. In a seizure, the user will experience that the bike stops safely.

The wireless technology can also be combined with a companion control (buddy brake), allowing a friend to brake on behalf of the user in the event of a seizure.

But Are Wireless Brakes Safe?

Yes, SmartBrake has a built-in emergency mode 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).

SmartBrake is modular like Lego, and you can build the set according to your needs. Mounting the set on your bike is easy and requires no special tools. You can order SmartBrake directly from our online store or contact our distributors for assistance.
