For the model MTK 190 this brake is available as additional accessory.
It can be built in afterwards.

On rough ground or at grated stairs there could occur damage to the plastic running
wheels of the brake.

margin brake will continuously brake on stairs with low steps.
To release the brake you have to put LIFTKAR in a more upright position.
