Fork question

I want to know if anybody knows if it's possible to use a motorcycle Fork with full suspension on this bicycle frame it takes an inch and 1/8 fork but I don't know anything about motorcycle forks

It is possible, but not easy. I've been seriously thinking about doing the same. One of the main reasons is a used set of suspension tubes is very cheap, however your adding even more weight to your e-bike. Just need to fabricoble the fork tree clamps from bicycle. perhaps even just straight up weld forks on.

Cheap is the only reason, because motorcycle forks are freakin heavy and offer very limited tuning options.

True dat MadRhino
The only real ones to look at are like the 100cc or ~200cc or ~300cc
Its just I got a good source for mc parts, I haven't looked into at all but can only hope theres various spring rates to throw in the tubes, or get a place like Standens that does suspension to coil on up. But then the price jumps, and might as well buy a new DH fork or a used DH fork.

$100 seems to be the price for springs to throw in them forks.

Here is a set of fork legs for $100

Fabricoble something up!

From the PM, repeated:
Return or Sell your front MXUS 3kw motor, and buy a rear MXUS motor instead.

Buy a normal bicycle suspension fork.

I dont know if Zoom are decent shocks but ebay has a lot for sale for a good price.

Before that, I went through two cheapo zoom fork bikes in one year.

What kind of problem are you trying to solve that only an MC fork will cure?
I've been down this road. Just wasn't worth it.
