Yeah well I agree the brakes are probably not the best if you want to make sure you can stop I guess I am a little crazy... my e-glide boards with the wire controller have much, much better precision throttle and braking... The e-glide boards brake real hard--if you want.. the trick is to apply enough pressure on the pistol controller... I already had a couple times I braked to hard and went flying... But for such a small board (metroboard), the brakes don't seem too bad... but it is true, you do need to allow yourself some room to break...there seem to be a short delay when you press the brake button (either one light or hard) on the IR remote until the motor breaking engages. I guess I like to have the true "coasting" feeling when breaking on the metro-board.

Die Boards sehen wirklich ganz nett aus. Aber wie fährt sich das Metroboard denn mit der IR-Fernsteuerung? --- The IR remote is really easy to use... it has a wide angle IR view, so I find no problem of losing IR connection... Bremst das automatisch ab sobald man nicht mehr auf dem IR-Empfänger zielt? --- If you do lose connection with IR, the board just starts to coast like normal board... actually when I go down hills, i just don't press any button and coast.. Wie gut lässt sich das die Geschwindigkeit mit dem Knöpfen dosieren? ' The speed is gradual with the IR remote...it is pretty smooth, no real jerky stops or starts... Vor allem das Bremsen, kann man auch gemütlich abbremsen damit? --- The brakes are really good...nice and smooth...there are two levels, the light brake, which slows you down to a slow pace (like 3km per second) and the hard brake, which basically smoothly stops you to almost entirely stopped..I use the light brake when going down some really steep hill, and the hard break if I want to stop and jump off the board (like when coming to some sidewalk curb that I want to carry the board). Lustig find ich auch das man mit der Fernsteuerung hupen können soll Wie hört sich die an? --- The horn is funny...if you can imagine a electronic chirping sound..
