When you learn to park your car, you basically use the traditional handbrake. With the progress of science and technology, the configuration of cars is also constantly enriching and upgrading. Some cars can no longer see handbrakes, instead of foot brakes and electronic handbrakes. So what is the difference between electronic handbrake and traditional handbrake and foot brake? Which one is better?
Traditional handbrake
Advantages: low cost and convenient maintenance
Disadvantages: The sound is loud and requires great strength. Improper use will easily affect the life span.
Traditional handbrake is one of the longest in history and still has a wide range of application till now. It uses hand pull type and uses steel wire pull wire to connect to the rear brake shoe to brake the car. It is mainly composed of brake Rod, cable, brake mechanism and return spring. It is used to lock the transmission shaft so as to lock the driving wheel. Some of them lock the two rear wheels. Because it sometimes takes a lot of effort to pull the traditional handbrake, it still takes a little effort for the majority of female drivers, however, the crisp clicking sound of pulling the handbrake after parking is very popular among male drivers. The advantages of traditional handbrake are low cost and convenient maintenance, but it also has its own life span. If it is not pulled to death, its life span can be prolonged.
Foot brake
Advantages: compared with the traditional handbrake, it does not take so much effort, and its design can save the space of the armrest box.
Disadvantages: because of the location of the design, people are not used to it and easy to forget.
Foot brake is also called foot-controlled parking brake. Compared with traditional handbrake, for some girls with relatively small strength, this kind of control is more labor-saving and will not cause insufficient braking force because the strength of pulling handbrake is too small, phenomena such as car slip occur. The application principle of foot brake and handbrake is the same, but it is a different way to free hands with feet. Its position is usually next to the driver left foot pedal, the shape is a bit like a reduced version of the brake pedal on the right foot. The brake should not be too hard to step on it, so as to prolong its life.
Electronic handbrake
Advantages: when traffic lights, traffic jams, and uphill do not need to press the brake for a long time, it can also ensure that the vehicle does not slip or slide, and save space.
Disadvantages: the cost is relatively high, and it is not convenient to repair and replace it. It will be more troublesome when the battery is out of power.
Electronic handbrake is also the electronic parking braking system, which has always been regarded as the configuration of a good car. In fact, it is an upgraded version of traditional handbrake and foot brake. The parking brake principle is still the same, it's just the movement of hand pulling and foot stepping replaced by button P through electric driving. Although the electronic handbrake is not logically complicated, the cost is slightly higher, and the maintenance is also more troublesome, and the electronic handbrake cannot do the tail flick action.
The traditional handbrake needs a certain amount of strength when pulling up and putting down. If it is light, it is easy to sneak, so if you are a soft girl, you can basically give up; although the foot brake is easy to use, many people are not used to this parking method, so this basically depends on personal hobbies; While the electronic handbrake is easy to operate, not difficult, and basically both men and women, young and old. If you insist on which one is better, if you have a budget, it must be the first choice for electronic handbrake, but it is not suitable for people who like to play cars and drift.
