What is Brakes?

In short

The braking hardware each brand lists, which shapes stopping distance and low-speed control.

Brakes are the hardware that stops a bike or scooter, and the type on each brand's site shapes how firmly and how quickly it stops. A hydraulic disc brake uses fluid pressure, which gives stronger, more progressive braking with less hand effort than a mechanical disc, where a cable pulls the pad. A DECE OASIS, ACTBEST EBike and aniioki all list hydraulic disc on their bikes. ANCHEER lists mechanical disc. AnyHill Electric Scooter lists drum and regen. Regen braking slows the scooter through the motor instead of the pads.
