Suspension Fork on eCargo Bike ?

[e-boy]

Does a suspension fork on an eCargo bike make sense ?
If so , coil or air ?

I've got a Bullet bucket bike and it is so long that the frame flexes, thus dampening road chatter. Unloaded it can be a bit rough, but I have never thought of adding suspension.

Thanks for the reply .
I'm asking more for short or long tail eCargo rather than bucket type .

My opinion of spring forks puts them just barely above rigid. Air is the only suspension option for me. That said, for a cargo bike, I would go with an oversized 2.4" tire on a rigid bike and take a little air out for a better ride.

I'd like to try it, but my bodaboda has non-standard steering tube diameter.
You'd have to pump up the suspension with significant load and let it off running light. Not something you'd want to do every day, but before a 3.5 hour supply run out of town, It definitely would be worth it. Also letting air out before the 3.5 hour empty run back to town. My cargo is 50-60 lb usually.

I think front air/spring suspension would work on a cargo bike as well as on my fattie 26. It's not useful as an off road high use suspension system but more like a remove the jarring and shoulder pain for older riders. I purchased mine on Amazon for $148. Loving it.
