bike choice for bbs02

[James129]

So, as you can tell from my other posts I did a lot of buying before researching. And another things Im not 100% happy about, is the bike itself.

This all started when my mtb got stolen from the train station. I decided to go for an ebike and ride all the way to work.

When summer came around I ordered a bbs02 and then bought the cheapest bike at the bike shop.

this one: but it was even cheaper at the time.

I got a 'girls' bike cause I have a kids seat on the back and its a pain to hope over the bar when the kid is all seated.....but this lead to the problem that the battery didnt fit where I wanted it to go so I mounted it higher up the bike,

There is no suspension, cause it was cheap, but im starting to think its best to have suspension. Even when Im cruising I going faster then my normal ride speed and Im noticing the ride to work can be rather ruff.

So, sometime in the future I'm thinking of getting a better bike and moving the kit over. Im thinking of going dual suspension and my question is:

Anyone have a good dual suspension suggestions? one where the battery will fit down low.

Or am I completely wrong and dual suspension is a not the best for ebikes

I must admit, even though I have a fatbike with 4" tires and only run them at 8psi it's not the softest ride at speed so a full suspension is on my list for my next conversion - either that or I will buy a Haibike, M1 or HNF Heisenberg.

People have successfully used Giant, Trek, Specialized among others. Here's a nice build on Specialized; http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=60375

I too run about those pressures on my fatbike. If everything was smooth no suspension would be needed. I too will be looking for a dual suspension frame for that new motor coming this way

That is exactly what Lectric cycles have done.

They installed the new 1000W eRad HD drive on Salsa buckeye full suspension fat bike.

Im about to pull the trigger on a mondraker dune 2010. The mondraker foxy from 2014 and previous will also fit the battery in large frame size. Also all the older mondraker full sus bikes have 73mm BB . The dune has 160mm of travel all round so plenty.
