New hear, many ?????????????????

[vkray JJ]

I have a UPS Beach bike I bought online I am not real sure if It will work because of the spacing between the forks? I may need to reconsider another type of frame? Like I said many questions. I purchased a kit and am about ready to send it back, because it has a multi speed sprocket on it, but maybe it will fit on the front?
The kit is for a rear wheel. Can i make it work on the front?

They are not interchangeable. The rear is 135MM wide and the front is likely 100MM.

If it's the bike I think, it's NOT a good ebike conversion. Single-speed and no handbrakes. A wimpy front motor, 36V 250W would probably stop using the coaster brake.

Except for fat bikes most are 135mm rear. 110mm front. 5 5/16 is 135mm. Most rear dropouts are 135mm.

Is this your bike model? https://www.ebay.com/itm/UNITED-PAR...EL-FRAME-26-WHEELS-BIKE-BICYCLE-/333483502227

Most front dropout spacing is 100mm. 110mm is boost front spacing and is only thru-axle.

Thanks for the catch and correction!

There aren't many single speed bikes with hand brakes. Adding a single speed rear sprocket will need an adapter if your motor as a freewheel. https://www.ebikekit.com/collections/components/products/freewheel-spacer-for-1-speed

Mountain bikes use lots of gears for climbing. One without is a rare bird, I don't know of any.
