    Mechanical disk or hydraulic disk for fast bike

    Front brake will always feel superior if it is working properly ( no contamination, worn brake surface) provides about 70% + braking effort.

    what capacity cells would be in 36v 17ah battery

    what capacity cells would be in 36v 17ah battery

    It does appear that SOC isn't 100%, to over come this they spec and use a bms with lower balancing voltages. Also I suspect the lower discharge voltage level is higher .

    Newbie to e bikes

    For commuting the hub motor will give a more relaxed and leisurely ride also will be good for light off road trails and old railway routes. If off road use it a bit more adventurous for harsher terrain/ rough down hill then go for a crank drive.

    Claud Butler Electric Bike Faulty

    It is straight forward the motor wheel will fit straight in and you just fit all the parts and plug them in no wiring to fiddle with. Repairing the original wire cable isn't straight forward and can prove pig to repair.
