1. A motorcycle or bicycle braking arrangement comprising:
a brake lever defining a grasping surface whereby a rider is able to apply pressure in order to produce a first signal, a force-sensitive resistor (FSR) mounted on and/or in the surface and configured to produce a second signal, wherein pressure applied results in simultaneous production of the first and second signals;
a controller which includes an adjustor and is configured to electronically correlate the second signal with the first in a ratio and/or which is adjustable via the adjustor; and
at least one servomechanism arranged in signal communication with the controller and configured to engage with and actuate an existing rear brake system of the motorcycle or bicycle according to the correlation between the first and second signals;
wherein the braking arrangement is configured such that the first signal actuates a front brake for the front wheel of the motorcycle or bicycle, with the servomechanism configured to actuate a rear brake for the rear wheel according to the adjustable correlation.
