ABSTRACT:
A braking system for a wheeled vehicle includes a continuously variable transmission that replaces conventional braking systems. In one embodiment, a single continuously variable transmission is used from which power is distributed to either the front wheels, the back wheels, or to all of the wheels. In an alternate embodiment, at least two continuously variable transmission controls are fitted, each being connected to a wheel. The braking system may be powered by either an electric motor or an internal combustion engine.
