    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...

    Wheel axle does not fit fork end

    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...

    Have you ever actually weighed your ebike as you normally ride it? How and what did it weigh?

    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.

    Wheel axle does not fit fork end

    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.

    Wheel axle does not fit fork end

    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.

    Wheel axle does not fit fork end

    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...

    I've just fitted a cheap chinese conversion kit to my aluminium forked bike which is 1000w and on the test run it opened up and was half out of the forks but luckily I had one of those torque arms on.It did scrape the jubilee clip down the frame and i've now ordered another torque arm for the...

    Checklist to go through when browsing ebikes to estimate its likely real world range?

    Hi there,I go by the rule of multiply battery voltage x ah and then divide by 20 and the answer in miles.It works for me but your variation will be answered by how much pedal assist you put into a journey because this will extend your range.Hope you find this useful.The only way is to test it...

    Ok,just an update folks.I did manage get a battery connector from china for a ten english pounds and also got a battery bag intended for a scooter and mounted it on the rear rack which counterbalances the front motor.I had a problem with trying to fit the pas ring so ordered a split 12 magnet...
