Everytime a used bakfiets comes up for sale it has roller brakes, how easy is it to remove them? Are they built in to the hub or do they detach? Just wondering if you have to buy a new wheel set because in that case it seems to makes sense to just buy a new bike.

What would you replace the rollers with and how?
If they come on the cargo bike, it'll be too costly to swap to something else. Unless you go for some kind of low budget rim brake bodge, which wouldn't have enough braking power I think.

All the electric assist versions come with hydraulic rim or disc brakes. I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth doing the conversion myself?
