I used a Brake Buddy about 5-6 years ago for about 2 years.Just collected the new toad, so now looking for a new towing system, any one use the Brake Buddy System ?
I used a Brake Buddy about 5-6 years ago for about 2 years.
It was bought new from TOWTAL in Stoke-on-Trent , its an impressive piece of kit although pricey .
For my use then a 2005 Fiat Panda it was not perfect due to the brake pedal size on the car and the bracket on the brake Buddy unit , for whatever reason and much fettling I could never get the bracket to stay firmly gripping the pedal. What this resulted in was many a journey competed with No braking at all because the two had parted company!!!!
Might have to give that one a miss cause our new toad is a Panda. I had a Chris Cox frame on the old panda and Chris wants £320 +vat to refit the new car so as to use the old frame, Thought was if it all goes t-ts up in 2014, then I could replace the brake cable with a Buddy (about £450 from USA) or do I scrap the old frame and go to Smart tow and pay £1450. Mmmmmmmm:Sad::Sad:

Or a trailer !!!! If I had stuck with toads this would have been my move - safer and no problems abroad . From the toad we went to motorcycles on a trailer. For the last 3 years we have been using electric bikes and this for us has been a super move.I used a Brake Buddy about 5-6 years ago for about 2 years.
