ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) is designed to prevent skidding & help riders to maintain
steering control during emergency-stopping situation if dry or wet roads, loose gravels
etc.
How does ABS work?
When a rider applies excessive brake force while riding whether on a dry, wet, or loose
surfaces like gravel, the wheels may stop spinning and lose traction. This loss of grip
leads to instability, making the scooter prone to skidding and crashing.
When a wheel locks and slips, it can cause a loss of control almost instantly. Regaining
control under such conditions is often a matter of luck or requires advanced skill, like
that of professional stunt riders.
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) prevents wheel lock by continuously monitoring wheel
speed and modulating brake pressure. When the system detects that a wheel is about
to lock up, it reduces brake pressure momentarily to keep the wheel rotating. Once
the risk of locking is gone, it reapplies braking force. ABS allows riders to brake as hard
as possible without locking the wheels, maximizing stopping power while maintaining
traction and control, helping to avoid accidents.
