The disclosed method may include configuring one or more brakes based on a braking-related attribute expected at a geographic location being traversed by a personal mobility vehicle. By configuring the application of brakes of a personal mobility vehicle based on terrain, environmental conditions, and other geographic features, 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 based at least in part on the location of the personal mobility vehicle. By configuring brake engagement based on a combination of controls and map data, the system may improve user experience and user safety, especially for inexperienced riders.

In order to improve a wheel unit, in particular for a vehicle, comprising a wheel having a hub and a wheel rim which are connected to one another by spokes and are arranged for rotation about an axis of rotation, it is proposed that the wheel have connected thereto a disc unit arranged coaxially with respect to the axis of rotation, said disc unit carrying a brake ring for a disc brake and a sensor ring for detecting a rotary movement of the wheel unit.
