@SunSunSuperFun v-brakes work just fine for any bike that sees less than 50mph and doesn't have to ride the brakes a lot down major hills. Just make sure those bolts are tight or the pad will rotate and cut your tire sidewall. They suck if water freezes on your rim though.

@rcvideogamer What's the point of putting a 400hp engine in a car when you can't drive the speed limit ?

@rcvideogamer PEDAL

As a point of curiosity, do you need to use specialized brakes for this type of a build? Normal bike brakes can't be designed to handle this, right?

@SunSunSuperFun I had to make a custom frok up front to hold a 8" disc because the rim brakes were completly useless I do have them on the back but I only use the rear brakes to slow down not to stop. The front disc does all of the stopping.

wait whats the point of putting an engine on it if you still need to PEDDLE!?!?!?!

@rcvideogamer I can push it about 5KPH faster if I pedal I have set up the drivetrain on the bike to have a double overdrive so even slow peddaling is helping if I push it I can do 55kph on the flats

Two questions, if that bike has a motor do you have a license plate and pay licensing fees on it and arent you passing illegally on the right hand side. People shouldnt have to worry about cutting you off if you are not supposed to be passing them on the right in the first place. You should come to Seattle. The mayor loves people like you and your nazi bike mentallity.

@TheKlaukster first off you don't need a license for this type of bike by law here also I am in an established bike lane for my entire ride which is why I can pass on the right.
