  • Solenoid operated unidirectional wheel brake
    Patent number: 5713436
    Abstract: A motorcycle rear wheel brake functions to allow the driver to lock the rear wheel on an upward incline. This prevents the motorcycle from rolling backwards while freeing the driver's hands and feet. A simple hinge arrangement wedges the rear wheel and the hinge into the rear fork. A solenoid activates the hinge. An alternate embodiment uses a mechanical cable to move the hinge.
