Which is the front brake and which is the rear brake on a motorcycle?
1 Answers
The right-hand position is the front brake, and the left-hand position is the rear brake. For scooters, the front brake is always on the right side and controlled by the right hand, but there are two types of rear brakes: one is a hand brake controlled by the left hand, similar to bicycles—left for rear and right for front. Speed below 20 km/h: For belt-driven scooters, as long as the speed is not below 20 km/h, there is engine braking. Below this speed, the clutch is disengaged. Precautions: When a motorcycle decelerates, the rear wheel's grip decreases accordingly. At this time, braking still relies on the rear wheel, which may not match the desired braking effect. Improper operation may also cause the rear tire to lock up and skid, so riders should be cautious.
