Because of the energy crisis, hybrid is the buzzword of the day. With respect to cars, hybrid usually refers to engines that uses electricity and gasoline. The combination of both gets you more gas mileage.

Last but definitely not least is brakes. Most of the current electric bike kits require front and rear hand brakes. This is mostly in the form of “v” or “u” style friction brakes.

You can use a rear coaster brake but only if you use a front drive kit and you must also have a front hand brake.
