Then you must know more than the Brake/Axle Engineers at companies such as Dexter that at least folks like me have to consider the experts. Also, you must have some sort of Pixie/Magic dust to get more braking power out of electric based brakes. There is only so much power that that sliding magnet can exert (3A by design) on the brake shoes unlike the much higher and less limited force you can get from a typical hydraulic braking system.
