Electromagnetic brake module for a Longboard

wear-free magnetism electricity concept prototype

Do you ride a longboard and enjoy being mobile, but you are worried about how to brake safely and gently?
Manta Brake is a brake module that is using an electromagnetic coil. If the brake button is pressed with your foot, the circuit is short-circuited and you start slowing down. The higher the speed, the stronger the magnetic field generated and therefore the braking force.
There is a micro controller under the deck that controls and regulates the braking process.
The shape of the deck is inspired by the manta ray. It glides majestically through the water world - you should experience the same feeling on the road. Cruise safely and gently from A to B without fear of causing a collision.
This is Manta Brake: An innovative braking module for more safety on the road.
