  • Integral braking system for motorcycles
    Patent number: 7357464
    Abstract: An integral brake system for motorcycles, in which a hydraulic brake system acts on one wheel is connected by a hydraulic line to a main brake cylinder which is controllable with a first brake lever, a brake system acts on the other wheel, with an actuator controllable by both the first brake lever and a second brake lever, and an electronic control unit that contains a regulating device for controlled distribution of the brake force between the two wheels. The electronic control unit is connected by electric control lines to a sensor that responds to operation of the hydraulic brake system, to the actuator and to the second brake lever. The control unit controls the actuator as a function of the output signal of the sensor or, in the event of operation of the second brake lever, to activate the brake system that acts on the second wheel.
