Disc Brakes:
It’s a good idea to make a list of key features that you want from your build before deciding
on the components. Ask yourself questions such as:
Do you care about the weight of the bike? Are you looking for a fast top speed, or great hill

do you want from the battery? If you want a high amperage controller do you have a
battery and motor capable of handling the high power levels without being damaged?
