Abstract
A rotation control brake system includes a tubular brake actuator coaxially mounted at a steering handle of a rider propelling vehicle, a brake unit operatively mounted at a position close to a driving wheel of the rider propelling vehicle, and a brake cable having a driving end coupling with the brake unit and an opposed actuating end extended to couple with the brake actuator to retain the brake actuator at a normal driving position. wherein at a braking position, the brake actuator is rotatably, longitudinally and outwardly slid with respect to the steering handle to pull the brake cable that the brake unit is biased against the driving wheel to control a rotational speed of the driving wheel, such that the rider propelling vehicle is adapted for being well controlled while the rider keeps the hand thereof at the steering handle.
