There is a difference in the use of clutch and brake in a car and a bike because the design and power transmission system of both the vehicles are different. Let us understand why the clutch is pressed while applying brakes in a car and why it should not be done in a bike.
When you press the brakes of the car and do not press the clutch, the RPM of the engine may decrease, due to which there is a risk of engine stalling. Pressing the clutch breaks the connection between the engine and the wheels, due to which the engine continues to run smoothly.
By pressing the clutch while applying brakes, you can easily change the gear and bring it into the right gear according to the speed of the vehicle. By pressing the clutch, braking becomes smooth, which prevents jerks and improves the driving experience.
When brakes are applied on a bike, engine braking is used, that is, the power of the engine is used to reduce the speed of the wheels. This keeps the bike stable and control remains better.
If you suddenly press the clutch along with the brake, the wheels of the bike become free and the risk of slipping increases. Doing so can be risky, especially in an emergency.
By not pressing the clutch while braking, the connection between the wheels and the engine is maintained, due to which the assistance provided by the gear is maintained and the control of the bike is better. Therefore, while braking in a car, the clutch is used to prevent the engine from stopping and changing gears, whereas in a bike, not using the clutch provides better control and safety.
