Manta Break

The Manta Brake is a braking module that uses an electromagnetic coil. When the brake button is pressed with the foot, the circuit is short-circuited and the brakes are applied. The higher the speed, the stronger the magnetic field generated and therefore the greater the braking force. Under the deck is a microcontroller that controls and regulates the braking intensity. The shape of the deck is inspired by the manta ray.
