What this all means is there is a huge amount of room to fit your motor and still keep the mechanical brakes.
What benefit (or problems) of using mechanical brake vs. motor braking ?
As I still testing the motor direct drive (45S/18P), braking to the car seems no problem up-to-now...

Shepperd design is great for conversion, but the drawback is lack of support and parts in Asia region.....
