maintain a backbrake was in light of the ethical responsibility that our device needed to uphold. Eliminating therear friction brake, would possibly mean forgoing the safety and well-being of not only the rider,but their surrounding environment. Although more regenerative energy could be recovered fromhaving two regenerative braking systems, ethical decision making needed to take place in order tosafeguard the welfare of the public.The quality of the materials and their reliability are also vital to the rider and the environment. Ifthe quality of the material was not as high, and broke under great force of pressure, the device isnot be reliable and could not keep the rider safe. Although minimizing cost is important, ensuringthe safety and well
