Minibrake - a remote-controlled brake for kids' bicycles

Minibike is a remote-controlled brake that allows parents to bring their children’s bicycles to a halt from a distance.

The MiniBrake consists of two parts: a remote controller and a small brake attached to the rear wheel of the child’s bike. When the parent presses the controller, the bicycle comes to a safe and smooth stop.

Minibrake automatically stops the bicycle when it nears its 50 metre range, when the battery gets low and when anything blocks the signal between the remote controller and the bike.

A significant milestone in life is the moment when the bicycle stabilizers come off and the child wobbles away into the distance. An achievement that represents a real step towards independence, it is as poignant as it is joyous because it relies on the parent letting go.
