So I have a Xiaomi M365 electric scooter. It's advertised to have E-ABS, I believe it actually says anti-lock brakes? I'm just curious as to what this actually is because I really doubt that a $500 electric scooter has true ABS, even if it's through the regen brakes. I emailed customer service about it but they didn't get back to me, although they said they would. Is it just marketing bs or is there some truth to it? I don't think I've actually felt it ever kick in in the way a car's abs system kicks in. No pulsations or anything.
 
It has regenerative braking, which is inherently anti-lock unless you get on ice, snow, oil, etc. Even then, while the wheel might skid and make you crash, it won't ever completely lock up.

But it also has a disk brake which will certainly lock if you hit it hard enough.

I call it 50% BS.
 
So basically it's just too weak to actually lock the front wheel up haha. I thought it was something like that.
