Battery?
Ultra capacitors?
Erasmus LLP Intensive Programme
conclusion
We do need Brake energy recuperation systems
Disks on the front drum at the rear as main brake
systems
Brake force distribution is not that difficult
Hill decent will be a great challenge

Calculation
Powering the Future With Zero Emission and Human Powered Vehicles KdG 2013 26
Calculate the different dimensions of a brake systems for a human
powered vehicle with a total weight of 150 kg with disk brakes on the front
wheels and a drum brake at the rear wheel together with a hydraulic brake
systems.
The maximum force on the brake is 120N with a diameter of the wheels of
42 cm. The center of gravity is at a height of 44 cm in the middle vehicle
with a wheelbase of 1,8 m.
Calculate the diameter of the brake disks, diameter of the brake cylinder,
diameter of the drum brake diameter of the brake cylinder
