ABS technology (Anti-Lock Braking System) is nothing new in the mobility sector: mandatory since 2004 for cars and since 2016 for motorcycles, ABS systems also make e-bikes safer. Will you think? But who needs ABS? As I often find myself taking groups out on excursions, I guarantee you that the dry front staple is always very dangerous.
We always waste a lot of time in the initial brake management briefing, but then in critical situations instinct thinks through and the inevitable happens.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Blubrake has developed four modes with which the ABS can come into operation. The e-bike manufacturers themselves can choose how to configure the ABS or they can leave the choice to the bike owner, who will be able to choose between several opportunities directly via the e-bike display.
For now, it is integrated on the front brake since the front is the most critical aspect: including it on the rear would double the cost, maintenance and weight. The ABS intervenes significantly when set to "Safety”, developed for less experienced and more cautious users. As the biker's experience increases, the ABS intervention decreases and the braking power increases, crossing three other modes: “Standard","Economical performance"Ed"Extreme” which, specially developed for e-mtb and technical off-road routes, disables the rear wheel anti-lift-off. Finally, it is possible to provide for the deactivation of the ABS.
The ABS developed and patented by Blubrake is the only system on the market that can be completely integrated inside the frame and is compatible with most of the electric and brake kits on the market. Thanks to the proposed technology, with Blubrake's ABS the braking sensation remains natural and the very high technological standards reduce the need for product maintenance to a minimum.
At Eurobike we were able to try it and positively evaluate the goodness of the project for beginner users. In essence, the system avoids the dry stapled classification but modulates it a lot to avoid dangerous blockages. In a technical use we do not express ourselves because we have not been able to test it on a suitable path.
