Hell yeah! Can't stand anything other than the same as my motorcycles. Rear brake on the left is even the same as my EVT.
**edit, oops, that should have been rear brake on the left of course**

Front Brake on the Right.
Throttle on the Right. (1/4 width)
Rear Brake on the Left.
Twist Shifter on the Left. (1/4 width)
Every possible "hands on" control is used, but I could probably switch to a rear brake on the right foot and shift (somehow) with the left foot. Overall this current setup works well... the hands have better "feel" than the feet... so I have no plans to change anything...

Yes, I put the front brake on the right, and have a quarter-length throttle.
It's good for the several reasons already noted, plus it obsoletes any "need" for a brake cut-off switch, because you can't apply brake without releasing throttle. Ebike makers should do it this way, don't you think?
The cable run is shortest from the right; a simple flying lead;
looks and works the neatest.

Well you can certainly still have throttle and front brake at the same time, as I was just doing a burn out in my garage. May as well use up my last 26" knobby, as this bike isn't going to see any heavy duty off road again. :lol:
