WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY ---    WIRELESS BICYCLE BRAKES


A wireless braking system, would you trust it?  Now what if the system was designed by German computer scientists and tested with equipment used in control systems for aircraft and chemical factories; and it worked with 99.999999999997 per cent reliability.

That's exactly what a group at Saarland University demonstrated with a wireless brake installed on a cruiser bicycle.

The bike does away with a brake lever on the handlebars and cable snaking down the frame, and instead has a rubber handle that only needs to be squeezed and some electronics mounted on the handlebar and fork, the part which attaches the wheel to the frame. The tighter a rider squeezes the handle, the harder the disk brake presses on the wheel to slow the bike.
