In an aspect, a remote-controlled brake for a human-powered vehicle is provided and includes a support structure that is mountable to a frame of the vehicle, a shoe that is pivotable between a braking position and a non-braking position, a motor, and a local controller. In the braking position the shoe is abutted with a wheel of the vehicle to stop forward rolling of the wheel, while permitting backward rolling of the vehicle. In the non-braking position the shoe permits forward and backward rolling of the wheel. The motor is operatively connected to the shoe to move the shoe to and from both the braking and non-braking position. The local controller includes an electronic reception unit that is configured to receive signals from a remote controller, wherein the local controller is programmed to control operation of the motor based on the signals.
A remote-controlled brake for a human-powered vehicle, comprising:
A remote-controlled brake for a human-powered vehicle, comprising:
A remote-controlled brake for children's bikes and for vehicles designed for children which can be adjusted and mounted on the vehicle's steel structure (11) and that contains a shoe (35) that presses on the vehicle's wheel (42) to be braked, an electronic reception unit (41) that can be operated with a remote controller (43), the tilting structure holding the shoe (35), the tilting motion of which is induced by the signal coming from the remote controller (43), and characterized by the tilting shackle (28) constituting the tilting structure around the knuckle which is linked through a flexible element (39) to the motor (25) operated by the electronic signal reception unit (41) and the motor (25) moves the tilting shackle (28) towards the wheel (42) to a certain angle which is limited but sufficient for moving the tilting shackle (28) with a certain speed to set the shoe (35) in a braking position and at the end of the track of the movement towards the tilting shackle there is an anti collision element preventing excessive pressure by the shoe (35) but allowing sufficient force to enable the braking process, characterized by the fact that the motor (25) is connected to tilting shackle (28) through a turnable moving plate (37) wherein the flexible member is a fibre spring (39).
