Traditional bike brakes are universally designed; the "one-size-fits-all" principle enables mass production at the lowest possible cost. It does not take into account that not everyone has a healthy adult hand size or grip. Many people have small hand grips (e.g., children or the elderly) or weak hand grips (e.g., individuals with disabilities, arthritis, etc.). There are few functional brakes, limiting their ability to be active on a bike.
SmartBrake offers a solution to this grip challenge; the wireless brake technology comes with remote controls designed to fit any hand size and strength. With SmartBrake, users can adjust the brake lever to the desired size (distance from the handlebar), or they can choose to brake with just one finger. The parking brake is easily activated on the same remote controls. The technology provides three different controllers that offer many options to adapt to your braking needs and, most importantly, your braking ability. It doesn't matter if you are strong, have a disability, or are a child just beginning to master the art of cycling; with SmartBrake, cycling is an activity for everyone.
SmartBrake can fit many standard brake calipers, both rim and disc.
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).
