Abstract
A braking system includes a vehicle having a front brake and a rear brake. The system includes a moveable structure connected to a rear brake. The rear brake may be a hydraulic brake. When the rear brake is actuated, the moveable structure moves. The movement of the structure pressurizes hydraulic fluid in a tube which actuates a front hydraulic brake.
Claims11
An apparatus comprising:
- a rear brake comprising a guide and a brake pad;
- a hydraulic cylinder filled with hydraulic fluid;
- a piston configured to move within the hydraulic cylinder;
- a slide assembly coupled to the brake pad and a piston rod attached to the piston;
- hydraulic tubing filled with the hydraulic fluid, the hydraulic tubing fluidically coupled to the hydraulic cylinder and a front brake;
- wherein the brake pad of the rear brake is configured to be pressed against a rotating rear rim of a rear wheel upon actuation, creating a friction force between the rear rim and the brake pad, causing the slide assembly to move forward within a groove of the guide and the piston to move within the hydraulic cylinder such that the front brake slows a rotation of a front wheel due to a pressure of the hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic tubing.

- hydraulic tubing filled with the hydraulic fluid, the hydraulic tubing fluidically coupled to the hydraulic cylinder and the front brake;
- wherein the brake pad of the rear brake is configured to be pressed against a rotating rear disk brake rotor coupled to a rear wheel upon actuation, creating a friction force between the rear disk brake rotor and the brake pad, causing the slide assembly to move forward within a groove of the guide and the piston to move within the hydraulic cylinder such that the front brake slows a rotation of a front wheel due to a pressure of the hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic tubing.
