Brakeless bike? Are you able to emergency stop?

I assume "brakeless" means it energizes the motors in reverse when you pull the brake lever. Just no friction brakes. Not a system I would personally use, I don't trust electronics that much.

Me neither. But I'd be interested in having both such that the caliper is backed off a bit so to engage the traditional break you have to pull harder. Maybe after a few years the "brakeless" system could gain my trust.
