thinking of swapping my ekit (750w x36v front wheel hub motor) over from my hardtail front fork suspension mtb to my giant beach cruiser,simple 3 model.. basically for comfort & fun factors as im only a casual road & path rider who wants something sporty still but more comfy than my mtb.
However not sure if ekit will work or if i can modify it to work because the Giant cruiser has different specs
-3speed internal hub gear
- front brake is a V brake & its rear brake is a coaster brake... will ekit brake work with only front brake on? will PAS sensor still fit the krank?
coaster brake safe with this ekit?
thought id ask for advice first before i swapped front wheel kit over
 
Ebrake will shut the motor down with only front lever. Stopping power of only one brake can be a problem with 750w, also more dangerous than if it were a rear brake only.

Giant Simple has a very curvy downtube (and top tube, if you have mens model). I wonder where you're planning to place the battery.

Thx for info & advice.. would the coaster back brakes not help me brake a fair bit? i will buy some decent pads for front brakes.. if coaster back brakes arent going to help much can I take the back Vs of a spare mongoose pro hrdtail ive gor lying around still in good wk order. i use my front brakes prob 90% & also very rarely go full throttle thesedays.. still tho i need to pull up very quick sometimes especially at roundabouts.

battery on downtube.. ill prob make up a flat frame craddle thingy attach that to bike frame which will house battery safe & snug.. I did similar on my current set up coz i didnt trust little bolts to keep safe an expensive battery.. we will see tho...
