Speed and terrain and weight distribution would effect it in varying ways.

I haul a 2 kid trailer with about 130 pounds of groceries in it but i never go over 20MPH with it loaded, and turns...you'd better slow way down when taking turns with these trailers ;)

What's it like to stop a 130lbs of groceries from 20mph. I bet brake pad service is short!

On that bike, it has the XOD 4 piston brake system, they've been on there for almost a year now.

Before i changed the brake system it was a 2 piston setup and it ate threw pads every 3 to 7 months,
depending on my riding.

While hauling groceries i mainly stayed under 15MPH until i got to a high traffic area then i tried to stay around 20MPH
less than 2 miles so not bad.

I'm really wanting to get like scooter brake system or pit bike brake system to try on the red ebike with the NBPower motor/controller setup heh heh ;)
