    Suspension forks for light rider

    Hello all, me again. So I got the old fork off my GT (a Marzocchi XC600) and I am looking for a steel fork I can use for a E conversion.

    Front hub install

    Meaning the fork itself will bend/snap from the torque of the motor? If so, wow. If not, the original fork was replaced with a Marzocchi xc fork but its seals are gone. Your saying a rear hub is best if I want 750w? I have a 350w vivi thats way slow going up hills and i weigh 120lbs. I wanna...

    Front hub install

    That's good to hear, I assumed as much, the bike I will use needs a new fork so what model would best suit my needs? It's old so it retains the cantilever V brakes and I'd like to have a suspension fork. Would any old rock shox set up do? I don't plan to go bigger than a 750w and know its more...

    Front hub install

    So I want to install a front hub on an old MTB I have but am wondering if I can just not install the PAS all together. I want just the throttle to function. Is this possible? instead of disconnecting the PAS, what if it is just not installed? TIA

    ViVi 26" 350w battery question

    This is the bike, it is 350w 36v 8ah battery equipped (removable) and on full speed it needs help pedaling on hills and runs out of power quickly. I suppose I can just convert my Karakoram (early 90s) to a 750-1000w 48v 20ah front hub set up. In the mean time I'd like to find a 2nd battery so I...

    Battery replacement

    My original plan was to buy another 36v 8ah battery but ViVi is out of stock so I'm looking for a suitable replacement. A 10ah would be a bit better so one 8ah will get me 10 miles but only on low...if I had 2 I could go faster and have the life of the second batt to get back the same speed...

    ViVi 26" 350w battery question

    I have the version that retains the bottle battery on the frame in "the triangle" and is a 36v 8ah battery. Maybe its better/easier to just convert my old GT Karakoram to a 750-1000w 52v15-17ah battery set up? I need to go 20 miles round trip with several inclined hills involved. Additionally, I...

    ViVi 26" 350w battery question

    Hello all, I am new to Ebikes and am thoroughly impressed with it. I was blinded by a brain tumor so my ability to drive a car was removed and my Ebike has given me back some freedom. I go 10 miles one way and notice the battery is barely able to keep me going for as long as I need. I looked...
