I am planning on buying a bike with full discbrakes. But i need to remove the front disc brakes to fit my hub electric motor. V brakes are the only brakes that can work with my hub motor. is it possibel to have a bike with v brakes in the front tire and disc brakes in rear tire? Thanks

Yes, it's possible but you need to be certain that the fork can accept V Brake studs.. most can. Make sure that the discs are mechanical (not hydraulic) or you'll also need a new brake lever.
If you were changing the front disc for a v brake just because you don't think you need a front brake as much, keep in mind that most of your braking... say 70%... should be done with the front brake.

Depends on the bike. Some can, some can't. I would'nt bother with it myself.

It's possible, but I don't think it's very usefull.
