A Hungarian Invention Can Save Children’s Life – VIDEO
Children who are riding a bike are in a possible danger, thus their parents’ „danger radar” always have to be switched on. Luckily, parents do not need to worry about that their children can get hurt because serial production of MiniBrake is about to be launched in the next few months – HVG reported.
The Hungarian invention called MiniBrake can help parents to stop their cycling child when they’re in danger. This video shows how the guard-system works:
Honestly, it may be horrible to see when a young child is racing with the bike especially when we do not know for sure whether our child could recognize the immediate danger or not. A car, a fence or another obstacle or a child can also be dangerous for a biker kid without parent’s control. Moreover, the protecting clothing like safety helmet or knee-guard could only reduce the strength of a possible accident.
What MiniBrake can do is to ease parents’ stress in playgrounds. MiniBrake was invented by 3 Hungarian students intending to protect kid bikers from accidents. Parents can control and stop their racing children from a maximum distance of 50 meters. The Hungarian students worked in this life-guard system for about 2 years and now it’s going to be on serial production.
MiniBrake has two different parts: the remote control for the parents and a brake which is equipped in the bicycle to stop the back wheels. It also protects the drivers from falling down. As it was mentioned above, adults can stop the bicycle by pushing the button on the remote control.
The system has a 164 foot (50meters) range and needs two penlight batteries while the remote control works with a 3 Voltage micro-battery. The system automatically blocks the back wheels of the bike in case the battery is dead or the bike reaches the maximum distance. Furthermore, MiniBrake is water-resistant and dust-proof and has a black box, too. The latter one records the last 100-200 braking actions. According to HVG a child has to be less than 35 kilograms to be able to use the system.
Having founded in 2013 the MiniBrake Ltd. has just finished its second reinvestment. They completed the first 3 prototypes and the system has already been tested. Currently, they arrange to obtain the patent for the MiniBrake system and the serial production could probably start in May. As it was planned, the mass-production of the MiniBrake will take place in Hungary. The price of the MiniBrake is about 149 dollars but the first 80 customers can order it for only 80 dollars as part of the indieggogo.com website campaign. During this campaign all the customers can purchase it for 107 dollars which is a huge discount.
