Does anyone know where I can score some big v brakes for my motorized build?
I’m running 24x3 tires on this beast and the stock brakes don’t work. I’ve only seen fat tire bikes with disk brakes.

Hummm... Quite the predicament your in?

Looks like some Canti Brakes with some Wide/Fat Braces? Drum Brake set-ups? might as well go discs really, even if you find some V-Brakes long enough they might snap like twigs or Bend/Flex.
Fat Bike

I sure someone has done it, or makes some? someone else will chime-in soon I'm sure :wondering:
 
I think cantilevers are your most likely bet. Setup will probably be tedious.

Even road bikes have discs now. I was a skeptic, but after using them, I can understand why. Of course, they're not cheap to retrofit, especially in the front, though I don't know if I'd trust the adapters on the rear of a motorized bike, either. I'm kind of in the same predicament for an electric bike conversion I'm planning, though I don't have to clear wide tires, so I'm probably going to swap my cantis with Vs.
 
Didn't some of the OCC choppers have a rim brake on the rear 4" tire? I know i have seen those brakes somewhere.
