Abstract
The braking system of a two wheelers is undoubtedly one of its more important feature. The aim of this
work is to create a better braking system. The purpose is to replace existing hydraulic systems with an electro
mechanical alternative to improve performance, controllability and to provide more environmentally and friendly
solution. Research indicated that a system based on a magnetic phenomenon named eddy - currents could produce
the desired result. This is a contact less system there is no wear of brake pads and maintenance cares are also
reduced. Another major advantage associated with this design lies in the absence of moving parts, exception made
naturally to the rotating disk, thus limiting the chances of malfunction.
