The invention relates to a method for braking a vehicle (10) having a first (14) and a second (16) electric drive motor, wherein, in a first braking phase, a first target value for a braking torque is specified to the first electric drive motor (14), and a second target value for a braking torque is specified to the second electric drive motor (16), wherein a current speed of the vehicle (10) is sensed as the actual speed, wherein, when the actual speed reaches a first threshold value (v.sub.0) for a vehicle speed, the first target value for a braking torque is increased in a redistribution phase and the second target value for a braking torque is simultaneously reduced, wherein, when the actual speed reaches a second threshold value (v.sub.1) for a vehicle speed, the specification of the first target value for a braking torque is ended and a speed target value trajectory (202) is specified in a second braking phase, wherein the speed target trajectory proceeds from the second threshold value (v.sub.1) for the vehicle speed to a speed of zero.

Provided is a saddled vehicle capable of optimizing distribution of a braking force between front and rear wheels at the time of deceleration during linear traveling, before entering a corner, and in a similar situation. A saddled vehicle (1) includes: a front wheel braking component (32) that applies a braking force to a front wheel (WF); and a rear wheel braking component (34) that applies a braking force to a rear wheel (WR), and is configured to operate the front wheel braking component (32) and the rear wheel braking component (34) in an interlocking manner in response to an operation of an operating element (5) as a single operating element. In response to the operation of the operating element (5), the front wheel braking component (32) first starts operating, and thereafter, in response to a braking condition of the front wheel braking component (32) satisfying a first condition, the rear wheel braking component (34) starts operating. In response to satisfaction of the first condition, the braking force of the rear wheel braking component (34) is increased while the braking force of the front wheel braking component (32) is maintained at a first front-wheel-braking force (P1).

Each wheel end braking apparatus is configured to output braking force to a brake disc of one wheel to brake the electric vehicle. The central controller is configured to control wheel end braking apparatuses corresponding to rear wheels of the electric vehicle to output braking force to implement drifting.

A control method and a brake system are provided. The method includes: when a vehicle moves downhill from a stationary state, obtaining a stroke of a brake pedal in the vehicle, and when the stroke of the brake pedal is greater than a first threshold, controlling the vehicle to brake with a first braking force, for a vehicle speed of the vehicle to be within a target vehicle speed range. In this way, when the vehicle starts to go downhill from the stationary state, a driver may control the vehicle speed of the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal, to effectively avoid a forward surge of the vehicle, and implement stable starting of the vehicle, so as to effectively improve safety of the vehicle.
