Rear brake travel

I am wondering if anyone can tell me how to increase rear brake pedal travel. As soon as I touch the pedal atm it engages firmly, there is no 'squeezing' room.
I have been told it is very difficult with hydraulic systems. Maybe I should just lower it to create 'foot travel'.

My wife had the same problem with her 07 T100 and was tending to ride the pedal. The only way to overcome it was lower the pedal, a fair bit from memory (perhaps an inch or so).

Be aware that to access the height adjuster for the pedal you have to remove the footrest assembly, not a big deal, but it is almost impossible to get a spanner on the adjuster otherwise.
