Title: Brakefix parking brake
Post by: Richard230 on June 17, 2015, 03:25:38 AM

Here is a neat device for holding your front brake on to keep your bike from rolling when the motor is off, should you not want to use a Velco tie or something similar:  http://www.webbikeworld.com/r5/acebikes-brakefix/review.htm (http://www.webbikeworld.com/r5/acebikes-brakefix/review.htm)

Nice solution. Only problem is where can you buy it.

Or use Velcro Strap, often used for cable management.

It looks like Zero sells a variation on it for $10: http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_4&products_id=205&zenid=i0tfmc89l76knokehcp3aq6a92 (http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_4&products_id=205&zenid=i0tfmc89l76knokehcp3aq6a92)

I found some interesting related products:

• Lockitt Grip-Locks (http://lockitt.com/LeverLocks.htm): sold out
• Grip Lock Canada (http://www.grip-lock-canada.com/): same as above, still available?
• Magazi brake lock (http://www.amazon.com/Magazi-motorcycle-brake-loading-jacking/dp/B00MPO1G20): appears to be the unbranded version of what Zero is selling.

Zero now lists a new parking brake accessory that uses a paddle to directly lock an add-on caliper to the rear disc. The 2017 owner's manual references it as well:
