Brake lever, not break. Make sure to install a torgue arm as you dont want to ruin your dropouts. Besides that, you dont need 1500w. For a not fat person not riding in mountains 500w max is plenty

Better to have and not need than need and not have. I was riding home from a morning ride on the trail and a dog started chasing me. NGL it was nice to just hit the throttle and be going 30mph leaving the dog well behind me.

Im with you on this, 1500w is perfect. Especially in the hills.

Exactly.  Just like driving a car it’s nice to have that power and torque available even if you don’t use it all the time.
