abstract="Electronic brake systems (ABS) have become an accepted feature in more powerful motorcycles. Research has fuelled this development by repeatedly confirming that a motorcycle ABS greatly contributes to avoiding a fall and thus serious accidents. To date this only applied to motorcycles above 250 ccm, however. There was no affordable ABS solution for the globally popular class of smaller motorcycles below 250 ccm. This is beginning to change now. The article gives an overview of two main trends: One is the next step up from ABS to additional driver assistance functions, based on electronic brake systems for larger motorcycles. Two is the shift from the purely mechanical brake systems of small motorcycles to ABS integration, which requires a hydraulic brake on the front wheel. With recent SOP of Continental's newly developed one-channel motorcycle ABS MiniMAB, Piaggio is anticipating a European regulation that will make ABS mandatory for new motorcycles with 125 ccm and above as of 2016/2017. In the interest of &quot;safety for everyone&quot; it is to be hoped that this type of system will rapidly find its way into competitively priced motorcycles on a global scale as they are a backbone of individual mobility in some regions such as Asia.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>",
