Generelt

SMART BRAKE is the world’s first wireless brake system for sports and mobility equipment. With 3 different remote controllers, users can easily control the brake and parking with the soft grip brake levers. SMART BRAKE is modular and can be built according to your needs! 

SMART BREMSE kan brukes på både sykler, rullestoler, forhjul, lastesykler og mer. Finn ditt bruksområde her

SMART BRAKE er en multifunksjonell bremseteknologi som kan brukes på både sykler, trikes, rullestoler og annet aktivitetsutstyr. Vi kombinerer vår trådløse teknologi med kjente komponenter som Tektro Auriga skivebremser og Magura HS11 felgbremser (andre bremekalpipere kan brukes, for eksempel Shimano, SRAM). SMART BRAKE forbedrer funksjonaliteten til tradisjonelle bremsesystemer. SMART BRAKE vil fungere på alle applikasjoner som allerede bruker kablede bremser (skive / felg). Kontakt oss hvis du vil ha hjelp til å finne riktig sett.

Vi har flere tusen bremsenheter i aktiv bruk over hele verden. SMART BRAKE har blitt grundig testet av teamet og kundene i mer enn 5 år, i alle værforhold og i tøffe omgivelser.

Teamet vårt inngår ikke noe kompromiss med sikkerhet. Hvert SMART BRAKE-system skal ha støtte av sekundærbrems, enten et parallelt SMART BRAKE-system eller manuell bremseløsning. SMART BRAKE har sikkerhetsbrems (fail-safe) integrert; Ved tekniske problemer eller lavt batterinivå (<15%) vil systemet automatisk aktivere bremsen til full stopp (sakte stopp). Brukeren kan løsne bremsen manuelt for å fullføre turen (ved hjelp av sekundærbremsen).

SmartBrake is a unique brake solution that gives you the option of more flexible brake adjustment. You will experience a quick and responsive brake, similar to mechanical brakes. The main difference with SmartBrake is the limited resistance in the levers. You need very little hand force to activate the brake, meeting the needs for those users with reduced hand grip and hand strength.  

Instead of feeling the lever to know how much you brake, you feel on the bike how much it brakes. The brake force is built up stepwise, thus you can select different brake force levels with movement of the lever.  

It needs very little activation of the lever to reach the first brake level. We recommend familiarizing yourself with SmartBrake during your first test trip.  

SmartBrake is as responsive as a mechanical brake. You have short response time from interaction of the brake level to full brake force (est. 0,1 sec for disc brakes). In addition, the brake is quickly releasing the brake, thus you can shift between brake force level within milliseconds.  

Please note that tear & wear apply for how good any bicycle brake is.  

Most discs and wheels have some natural sideways movement related from tare & wear. This forces the brake pads to retract further away from the disc/rim, causing a longer lead time. For hydraulic brakes, the quality of bleeding is also a factor.  

When we receive a new bike, we test the braking properties of the bicycle before and after we mount the SmartBrake. The results are weighed against the regulations for braking distance on bicycles. In the event of unsuccessful results, the supplier will be contacted. If you have questions about how we test or whether there is a declaration of conformity with your bike, please contact us.

The remotes have some differences in signal distance due to transmitter tuning. Signal ranges without obstacles for the SmartBrake product are between 30-40meters.

Signal distance will vary depending on signal interference. This may be caused by physical objects, transmitters working on the same frequency or high voltage power lines. To obtain less interference, make sure that there is a free path between the brake remotes and brake unit.

SmartBrake components are to withstand wet weather riding conditions; however, do not deliberately place them into water.

• Be careful not to get water into the charging port of the SmartBrake components.
 • Do not clean Smart Brake with a high-pressure washer. If water gets into any of the components, operating problems or corrosion may result.
 • Handle the components carefully and avoid subjecting them to heavy shock.
• Do not use thinners or harsh solvents to clean the products. Such solvents may damage the surface. When cleaning the products, use a cloth moistened with a neutral detergent diluted with water.
• If the brake operation does not feel smooth, consult the place of purchase for assistance.

SMART BRAKE is invented and developed in Norway, by a small team of experienced industrial designers, mechanical engineers and software developers. They all share the same passion for sports, and a drive to develop high quality products empowering more people to be active on a daily basis.

Our products are assembled, tested and shipped from our headquarters in Moss – just outside of Oslo, Norway. The Norwegian mountains and harsh environment provide the optimal test conditions for outdoor equipment, such as SMART BRAKE.

Hvordan bruker jeg SmartBrake

SmartBrake is easy to use and adaptable to your needs. The brake applies gradually with the movement of the lever as a normal brake system. All remotes are wireless and can activate both brake and parking – even from a distance.

Activate the system with a push of a button and you are ready to enjoy your ride.

Installation of the SmartBrake brake system varies from vehicle to vehicle, and it is therefore not possible to give a specific instruction that fits all applications. Some best practices and things to be aware of are therefore provided as a guiding reference. Installations that result in an inability of the SmartBrake kit to function may lead to serious or fatal injuries.

Mounting manual

It is recommended to charge approximately after every fourth trip to make sure you always have enough battery.
When charging, use the charger that came with the product on both the brake unit and the brake lever. A fully charged battery, when using a charger, is signaled by a green light after about 3 hours.

Both the thumb brake and hand controller use a non-rechargeable battery, 3V Lithium CR2032.


MAINTENANCE
SmartBrake requires maintenance charging to avoid that the
battery is damaged if the products are left unused for long
periods. If the battery is damaged, the battery will no longer
be able to be charged. Solution: Charge the batteries every
two months. Then pull out the charging plug.
Cleaning: Maintain the products clean with a damp cloth.

  • Never leave the bike with an empty battery! We advise you to charge the battery as soon as possible before it is totally empty.
  • The best storage-charge of the battery is after 3.5 hours of charging.
  • Recharge the battery every month during winter season
  • Preferably store and use the battery in environments of 5 to 20 ºC. Avoid higher or lower temperatures.
  • Do not charge the battery in sunlight and make sure that the battery is not charged at a temperature of less than 0ºC.
  • Only use the charger indoors and in non-humid environments, the charger must not get wet.
  • Preferably charge the battery with the supplied charger.
  • Keep in mind that your bike provides less support when it’s cold (0ºC and less) and the battery will discharge faster. Charging also takes more time at lower temperatures.

Every battery discharges automatically over time. This process is called self-discharge. A battery that is empty and not charged, will self-discharge and will be deep discharged. The battery can be permanently damaged during this process. In case of deep discharge, the warranty will be voided.

SmartBrake has a built-in safety system on the brakes that is activated automatically in case the battery level is very low or the signal is broken either due to distance or interference.

Working distance
The range is about 30 meters.

First, you will need to send a request to post@smartgroup.no for the program files. Please express whether you need a program for the disc, rim, or twin brake, or for which remote. The remote software is eighter assistant or administrator.

Assistant = a remote used as the second remote in a setup. This remote does not activate fail-safe when the signal range is overstepped. 

Administrator = The only remote in a setup, or the remote used as the companion remote. This remote does activate fail-safe when the signal range is overstepped.

Distance braking is important for many parents and companions where the child/user doesn’t have full control of the environment or the vehicle. With the hand control, you can easily activate both brake and parking at 20 meters with a single button to provide more security and independence. The wireless controller fits easily in your hand, around your neck, or mounted on the handlebar of the bicycle, wheelchair, or trolley.

  • Aktiver bremsen ved å holde nede «Bremse»-knappen. Bremsekraften øker fra 0-100 % for en rask, men myk brems
  • Parkeringsbrems aktiveres ved å trykke på knappen merket med “(P)”. For å deaktivere parkeringsbremsen, trykk på «Brems» -knappen en gang.

Håndkontrollen aktiverer sikkerhetsbremsen (Fail-safe) i tilfelle et tapt signal (feil eller utenfor rekkevidde). Når signalet gjenopptas, avsluttes bremsesyklusen, og hjulene er ikke lenger låst. Sikkerhetsbremsen sørger for at ledsageren alltid har kontakt med bremsene i enhver situasjon.
