Overall
Skate Brake is easy to use at any speed or skill level. It smoothly applies pressure, so the harder you press, the more it will brake. To activate, simply press on the pedal with your heel - and don't worry, it will never throw you off the board.
Brake Pedal
The button peddle screws on & off, allowing you full control. The small button design fits right onto your board without taking up too much space, perfect for cruisers & bottom-mounted boards.
Brake Arm
Our integrated brake arm is the key to reliable stopping power. It smoothly applies pressure across the wheels, making for a smooth & non-jerky speed control at up to 25 MPH+.
Hanger and Base Plate
Modeled after a Paris skate truck, you'll get the carves of a regular truck. Our aluminum die cast hanger and base plate are built with high tolerances for maximum durability, rider feel, and compatibility.
Wheels
Fits with any 68-72mm wheels. Comes installed with high quality VibeRide 70mm 78A wheels, lasting 1-3 years on average before replacement is needed. Our medium/soft wheels are the perfect for grippy turns, smooth rides, and maximal cruising.

My leg is partially paralyzed and the Viberide skate brake helps make braking easier. I ride standing on my other leg. Best solution for ease of braking.
The Cruiser Series Retrofit Kit was pretty easy to install and works well. I like to run up a mountain road, but not back down. Now I can skateboard back down the mountain at a safe speed, walking to let the system cool, occasionally. Very nice!
Bought this break for my son, who was excited to be able to use his long board getting around on campus. The first day using, the break broke! Tried to return, and I’m not able to because it was on sale. Now I’m out $95 for something that is going to be thrown in the trash!

A big skill curve for me when learning downhill skating was the traditional braking maneuver, but this product helps me enjoy those high-speed thrills with a little more safety.
