Brakes
General
- Most Racers employ disc brakes of some description.
Brakes which apply force directly to the tyres or ground are not allowed. Motor / regen braking is allowed, but an emergency mechanical brake must also be present.
Hoverboard Hub Motors
It is possible to fit a disc brake directly to the inside of a hoverboard hub motor. CYBR TRK uses a ~110mm dia brake kit for a Xiaomi M365 e-scooter. The mounting holes were re-drilled at a PCD which would not interfere with any other parts of the motor, and fitted using 15mm threaded standoffs.
