Fat V Brakes

[blown240]

I saw this on craigslist. Its an electric fat bike for $1600. But check out the front brake. Its got V brakes, with a guide over the tire to keep the cable from touching the tire. I wonder how well this works? It sure would be a cheaper way than a front disc and would probably be better than cantilevers.

Looks like the same tires as a Beast, maybe same rims too:

I did a V-brake install on my Fat bike. I could of got a little more clearance if I started with the brake arms from the rear of the OCC StingRay to begin with.
