HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM AND APPARATUS
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.
HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM AND APPARATUS
The present invention is directed towards a disk braking system for a bicycle having a rear disk coupled to a rear wheel. A rear brake caliper is coupled to a rear brake lever and the rear brake caliper is also coupled to a hydraulic actuator which has a piston that slides within a cylinder filled with hydraulic fluid and hydraulic tubing coupled to the cylinder and a front brake. When the rear wheel and rear disk are rotating, the rear brake caliper can be actuated which causes compresses rear brake caliper against the rear disk to slow the rotation of the rear wheel. The movement of the rear brake caliper can actuate the hydraulic actuator which causes hydraulic fluid to flow through the hydraulic tubing to actuate a front brake.

Systems and methods for intelligently engaging multiple brakes
A system for multiple brakes intelligently controlled by a single brake input on a personal mobility vehicle. By determining a front and rear brake differential based on the position and weight of the rider as well as the environmental and vehicle conditions, the system may reduce the risk of the vehicle skidding or tipping due to over-braking. In some embodiments, a rider may use a single brake lever to indicate a desire to brake and the system may make determinations about how to apply a combination of mechanical and electrical brakes to front and back wheels. By applying different braking systems based on a combination of controls and sensors, the system may improve user experience and user safety, especially for inexperienced riders.

Bicycle brake assisting apparatus
A bicycle brake assisting apparatus may comprise a main body, a traction apparatus, two control cable members, a rear brake tube, and a front brake tube, and the traction apparatus further comprises an operating block and a rotating piece which are pivotally connected with each other. The bicycle brake assisting apparatus of the present invention is configured to achieve the effect of stopping the rear wheel of the bicycle first and concurrently stopping the rear wheel and the front wheel of the bicycle thereafter regardless of pulling a left brake lever, a right brake lever, or both of the brake levers of a bicycle, thus increasing safety of use for a cyclist.

Brake system and vehicle
A brake system includes a brake activator which first activates a central rear brake and lastly activates a front brake of a right front brake and a left front brake which is provided on a front wheel which is an inner wheel by operating an input member. When an operation amount of the input member from an initial state to a maximum operated state thereof is divided equally into three portions which are defined as a low braking force area, a middle braking force area, and a high braking force area, the brake activator activates the central rear brake, the right front brake, and the left front brake to operate in the low braking force area.

ELECTRIC BICYCLE WITH COMBINED FRONT AND REAR BRAKE ACTUATION SYSTEM
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.
