Abstract
Some embodiments are directed to a brake system for use with a vehicle. The brake system can include a sensor that is configured to sense at least one condition relating to interaction between at least one wheel of the vehicle and a surface upon which the vehicle travels. A controller can receive data from the sensor and be configured to instruct a brake modulator to cause a front brake assembly to modulate the speed of rotation of a front wheel via one of a normal mode and a pulsing mode based on the sensed data. The controller can also be configured to instruct the brake modulator to cause a rear brake assembly to modulate the speed of rotation of a rear wheel via the pulsing mode if the front brake assembly is engaged in reducing the speed of rotation of the front wheel via the pulsing mode.
