I asked Marc about those but got no reply so assume they are not ready for sale yet

So went now for the Electron retracts and their brakes that gasper is involved in [link=http://www.electron-retracts.com/products/brakes.html]Electron Brakes[/link]

I tried all brands present at the JetPower meet. Some had distinct "pulses" when applied. To my liking the Electron was by far the smoothest. The Electron brake is as I understand, now available (not the case at JP) and uses Gaspars electronics (Xicoy).

This is my personal experience with NO affiliation.

I spoke to him at Jetpower and later decided to go with his setup as they were in a class for them selves at JP, but no email answer for me either... I hope nothing has happend to him.

Electron brakes look good, but the wheel is too small.
i also replied to Marc on the other thread and emailed GZ-Retracts as i reckon they were working on these too,

any others ?

Guys I'm about albeit busy catching up on some holidays and my other passion motorbikes.

Xairflyer just to clear up a possible misunderstanding, the Electro-brakes are users switchable between 16 modes of pulsed and pure proportional braking so you dont have pulses if you dont want them.

The Electron sets are currently only for 80mm wheels ours we make to fit ANY size wheel for any jet - the only requirement is there is sufficient room in the wheel hub to fit the required electronics, and this we can only do by having the item sent to us for the assessment and manufacture.

For those who have sent messages with no reply, apologies, please resend and I will get back to you asap as back in the UK now.

Send me pictures at least it might shed some light - you do have to understand that to make a brake set, custom machined so it fits as it should requires the original parts to work from - surely a wheel and leg are not critical once they have been installed and checked?
