Eppure tra le moderne innovazioni tecnologiche, l’ABS occupa probabilmente il gradino più alto del podio because it deals with the most important part of traveling on two wheels safety!
One of the most authoritative German associations in the field of cars and motorcycles (and we know how the Germanic tradition of rigor and meticulousness monsters), the 'ADAC ( Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club ) played a thorough test of motorcycle and scooter with ABS and non ABS.
The results are amazing, the difference in braking performance between vehicles equipped with ABS or not is remarkable, not to mention that in the case of two wheels in fact, the presence of ABS helps a lot the pilot in keeping the feet in half in case of hard braking, given the almost total absence of "tailing" due to inertia.
In the two wheels to safety and should dominate much of any other assessment (appearance, power, etc..) In the choice of means, given the vulnerability of the pilot and the natural precariousness of his position, for this the Germans, by ADAC precisely, are launching a campaign with the slogan "never again scooter without ABS "
And what do you think ? Would you be willing to pay some centinaio di Euro sul prezzo di acquisto per avere l’ABS ? L’Adiva tre ruote che uscirà dovrà esserne provvisto ? Oggi come oggi è logico pensare ad un maxiscooter senza ABS ? ditemelo nel forum . . . .
Ecco il video delle prove ADAC (è in tedesco ma sottotitolato) :
Ed ecco un altro "impressionante" filmato che evidenzia la differenza di prestazioni in frenata :
