I am currently fitting a rear hub drive conversion kit which came with brake levers to cut off the power. Do I really need them? My Bosch powered bike doesn't have them so are they really necessary??
Many Thanks

I have hydraulic brakes so I fitted a quad bike on/off rocker switch on the right side handlebar and on the left side is the power controller which has an on/off button. I find these very quick to use when don't want power. I have never had a throttle jam open but I'm readt for it!
