Thanks! I still can't force myself to use front brake much. I guess it tells you something about my biking skills :)

Good information. Do you know if max throttle current can be adjusted as well?

I am not planning to do any frame modding either. I thought maybe there is some kind of clamp mount for disc calipers. Plus new wheel. I want disc brake on the rear wheel. Maybe getting another used bike will be easier. I will check out these suppliers and calculator tool. Thanks!

Thank you! That is the plan. We will ride our new bikes for now and I might try DIY stuff if they don't have enough power or if I get bored. I do have some knowledge about motors/controllers in general. I used to write firmware for low-power motor controllers at work and I spent a few years...
