    Which KHS model is best for a FS ebike?

    I started 2010 by catching the Endless-Sphere flu, where I now have the urge to build myself an ebike… I can get a good price on a KHS model, but I don’t know which one to choose, for making a FS (Full Suspension) ebike. Should I avoid their downhill and freeride models, because...
