I'm going to get my popcorn ready for this one. I'm hoping that it doesn't go down the way ABS for motorcycles went down. The first versions of those were downright scary. That created an entire generation of riders who claimed that they could outbrake an ABS system, and ABS was total BS and a deathtrap. Nowadays, motorcycle ABS systems have been proven to outperform even world-class riders, and yet there remain those folks that were so put off by the really bad first-gen systems that they make it their mssion in life to trash ABS constantly.
For my learning, what's the failure mode of ABS on a motorcycle? Same as a car? Dummy light on the dash and suddenly you have reduced hard/wet braking ability?
Or would it basically equate to bike hydraulic disc brakes with without ABS in case of a failure?
For this to work, you need a VSS just like a car/motorcylcle has on both the front and rear. Then a balancing mechanism in between. And not a Garmin speed sensor on a hub either. You need an accurate real deal VSS.
This is just too too much for a bicycle.
(VSS = vehicle speed sensor)
