Hi Kentishman,I'm from the East Mids but get down to your end occasionally to see family.What trails do you use as I will be bringing my ebike with me down to Deal soon?Am looking forward to exploring the South East very soon.Happy riding.

Thanks Terry.I got the front forks spraypainted but hit a problem with the headset so after many hours trying all combinations of putting it back together realized the threads appeared too short so for the first time have admitted defeat and taken it in to Halfords.It's not the £20 hit that...

I had the same problem and bought some cheap steel forks on ebay for a mere £10.They fitted fine and was not a big job.Just measure your stem for fitting purposes and get on youtube for help.I had not done this job before so as long as you get the correct replacement you should be fine.

Took it out for a spin and the 1000w motor tried to chew up my front forks.Managed to get some steel ones off ebay and swapped them over last weekend so well pleased.Just waiting for an adapter now to connect my disc brake to the front.Oh and also some spacers as the forks were slightly longer...

Well I bought my cheap chinese bike for 500 quid(sorry 700 dollars)a year ago and it's strong,well made,does the job and it was delivered within a couple of weeks,so I am a happy chappie.I got me so interested I have just fitted a conversion kit to my old MTB and am almost finished working on...

All I know is that the advert with the young gentleman casually lifting it up and putting into the boot of his car after folding it makes it look so damned easy.I tried it and it pulled my 5th vertibrai out of socket.

At least we get there before we die.

Brilliant.The best laugh I've had for ages.

Hi Chaps, I have the same problem ie.A 1000w motor too powerful for aluminium forks but managed to pick up some quality used forks on ebay for £15 incl.postage.Just need to get it fitted now but will still put a torque arm on for extra safety.Being in the UK i'm fighting the weather now which is...

Thanks for explaining that Tim.At this rate I will soon be an engineer thanks to you guys.

Excuse my ignorance but what is regen? At the moment I'm waiting for another torque arm to arrive and also checking ebay for steel forks.If I can get an adapter for my brake disc fitted in there I am hoping that will give more stability.Good advice.Many thanks.

Thanks for that Thomas.The last thing I want to do is twist the Motor connectors off so maybe swapping the forks is the way to go.

Being a novice at doing this.Is the work doing the swap difficult?For me it's a winter project whilst I can't go out riding because of the cold UK weather.Cheers.

Thanks for the link for Grin Tech but unfortunately they do not ship to the UK.

That's my ignorance because I just went for it and ordered it from Amazon.So now I have to live with it and try to get the best advice to make it safe.I will put another torque arm on and also a adapter to line up with the rotor which hopefully will also give extra strength.The worst case...
