The retro ebike is working very well. 48v battery, 1000watt rear wheel drive..... plus LED headlights and dual tail lights. Everything is cool. But lately I have been running the bike at well over 20 mph where before I have been keeping it under 12 mph to see how far I can go. Now I am impatient and want to race off to everywhere. The last two days have been running the bike at WOT for long periods (30 seconds to 3 minutes continuous). I have been racing down the county road at 20 + mph and cars have a hard time passing me because its just a 35mph speed limit on that road.
Anywho... The bike is working fine, but I think the retro fork has to go. Just too much flex when the speed is over 12 mph. Too much linage, too many parts that flex when speed gets up. Will put back the original mountain bike rigid fork and see how it does.
Will report back...
