Bike Mod/Accessories

Yep. My brakes werent working good that day. Part of the reason for that trip was to get an idea from your bike on how to improve my brakes.

But I just ordered a big fat tire e-bike with hydraulic disc brakes and they got all the quirks figured out that I don't have time for.

Never said my brakes were the best. Just the most important upgrade in my humble opinion. I still haven't got my brakes figured out to my liking.

What Ebike did you get? Brand and model if you don't mind.

He already did that in another thread...I have posted it below for you...lol.

 
A sturdy, 6-7 speed cruiser bike, mirror, lights, and a dual pull handle for the brakes. That's it.
Those BMX/Mountain bikes are killers to the more aged rider. Cruisers have nice seats.
Does having both brakes go on one handle cause any issues? A few of my buddies that have motorcycles told me that in the wrong situation it will lock up the front tire first.

Wait so does yours have multiple gear for the motor? Or am I reading this wrong?
