the old petrol bedford tk lorries had petrol engine and hydraulic brakes with servo and cable hand brake-you'd hit something before you stopped.

air over hydraulic was the next stage before full air.

you could build a system with lorry air tank or co2 bottle, but it would have no drier.
lorry compressors about 150 cc size so a compressor, non return valve and pressure switch would work, my tmax adventurer hd draws 45 amps at 120psi so a decent alternator required.


Or a hydraulic system, but you would want load compensator either way

something like this pile of ****e
