Publication number: 20240391431Abstract: An electric bicycle includes a braking system including a main brake lever, for combined actuation of the front brake and of the rear brake. The bicycle includes an electrically-operated ABS device, interposed in the hydraulic connection between a pumping hydraulic cylinder of the main brake lever and at least a hydraulic actuator of the front brake, and configured to reduce the fluid pressure supplied at least to a hydraulic actuator of the front brake during a braking operation controlled by a main brake lever (L1), in the event that a tendency of the front wheel to block and/or a tendency of the rear wheel to lose contact with the ground is detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2022Publication date: November 28, 2024Applicant: Blubrake S.p.A.Inventors: Fabio TODESCHINI, Giuseppe PICCIRILLO, Daniele BERRETTA

Patent number: 11440519Abstract: The present invention refers to a brake assist system (1) for cyclist on a bicycle (100) including a braking system (101) having a braking member (105) capable of exerting a braking force (FB) on a front wheel (101) of the bicycle (100) by the effect of a force (Fc) applied by the cyclist on a lever (103). The system (1) includes a sensor (2) for measuring the angular speed (?1) of the front wheel (101) of the bicycle (100); an actuator (3) capable of exerting an actuator force (FA), connectable to said braking system of the bicycle so that the actuator force (FA) opposes the force (Fc) applied by the cyclist on the lever (103), in order to reduce the braking force (FB); and a control module (4) configured for receiving, as an input, the signal representative of the angular speed (?1) of the front wheel (101) and for determining from this a deceleration (?) of the front wheel (101).Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2017Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignees: Blubrake s.r.l., Politecnico di MilanoInventors: Matteo Corno, Giulio Panzani, Sergio Matteo Savaresi, Fabio Todeschini, Luca D'Avico, Simone Fiorenti, Alessio Nicolò Cota
