How to Brake Skateboards?
Electric skateboards utilize a handheld remote to control the device, which includes beginning, shifting to accelerate, slowing down, and stopping. The method for breaking a electric skateboard with remote using an electronic device is similar to the action of turning the throttle. Simply push the throttle back via your remote control and switch to the braking procedure. Similar to riding skateboards, you must place your weight so that it is moved forward prior to applying the brake to ensure your stability. In order to do this, turn backward and squat down just a bit to make sure you are more stable. You can do this by lowering the center of gravity in preparation to apply the brake. The e-board will not stop abruptly, but it will slowly decrease in speed until it comes to a stop.
While it sounds simple, however, the process of stopping is not easy in practice and will require some time to master until getting it right. Practice in a safe area off the road to avoid any accidents instead of immediately hitting the streets. Include in your training the practice of making difficult breaks to be prepared for more stressful situations.
Vibrant Braking Systems
There is no need to place your feet in the dirt to stop or slow an electronic board like the case of a kick skateboard. The brake process on skateboards that are electronic is done by an electric motor which runs and speeds up the. Therefore, it is able to stop itself on its own by simply pressing the trigger on the remote control.
There are two kinds of braking systems that are used in the motor that aid the deceleration of an electronic board that is regenerative braking and dynamic brakes. Both systems employ the traction motor in order to slow down the speed of the e-board. When the rider presses the brake button of the control on the remote, the electrical motor that powers the electric board forward will be switched to reverse. The motor will turn backward and reduce its speed. Wheels on the board.
In regenerative braking systems or regents, the engine works like an electrical generator as the rotor rotates backward and generates electricity similar to an alternator. The electricity produced is then fed back to the battery to recharge it. When braking dynamically the energy produced is dispersed through the brake resistor. Regenerative braking thus is more efficient since there is no waste of energy. However, there’s an issue. After the battery has been fully charged, it will stop absorbing additional energy. If this occurs the system will lose its ability to shut down the board.
The issue is not present in the dynamic brake system since the braking process doesn’t recharge the batteries. It does not eliminate the braking feature. Because of this, Some electric skateboards come with built-in regenerative and dynamic braking systems that allow you to enjoy the best of both. When you think about this you may be wondering why skateboards that are electric do not utilize the friction braking system that is the normal brake system that is used in regular automobiles that are powered by petrol. In this type of system, the brake disc is used to make contact with the gears rotating which creates friction, slowing down the wheels. This is due to the design of a braking system that is friction-based and involves huge and heavy mechanical hardware that can be quite heavy for smaller riding devices such as skateboards.
