MINI QED incorporates a number of very interesting features including regenerative breaking so that forcing the braking wheels to regenerate electricity and subsequently act as brakes to a point of stall. No break pads to wear out! Performance is incredible and has the ability to off-set performance requirements verses desired economy.
