Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A vehicle brake actuated to stop a vehicle drive system upon separation of the rider from the vehicle by a threshold distance and/or upon power being cut to the vehicle ignition. Thus, the proximity device is sensitive to the proximity of a rider to the vehicle. The brake includes an actuator and a switch. The brake actuator applies a braking force to a vehicle drive member. The proximity device triggers the switch to provide an activation signal to the brake actuator upon a determination of crossing a pre-set proximity threshold. Stoppage of engine ignition may also activate the brake.
