Spoke protectors

Does anything like this fit our ebikes?

I don't see why it wouldn't fit on any bike that uses a mid or front motor. I guess it would depend on which rear hub motor you have and hub motors are usually large enough that they would serve the same function as a spoke protector. I usually take these off of my bikes as I don't like the way they look and I keep my derailleurs in adjustment.

These are commonly referred to as “dork discs” by a lot bike mechanics. If you have your limits set correctly all they do is add a bit of weight and a lot of potential for rattles.

LOL Americans and their analogy. Cheers.

My mothers older ebike had a plastic one that was falling apart, so I replaced it with a nice stainless one because I know she can't check or adjust her own derailleur limits. I don't use them on my own bikes, but I'm reasonably judicious with checking my limits at the start of the season and after maintenance.

These have always been the second thing I take off any bike I buy that has them. Right after I remove the awful reflectors they mount in the spokes of the wheels. I guess I just like to live on the edge. CN
