The Fork

Was a nice bike for rear hub on fork, the fatties cushioned the cracks in the path real nicely.
Cobbled together the ole Santiago for some cruising today. Getting back in the groove.

Ordered Sunlite 26" Rigid Fat Bike Fork 1-1/8" 275mm Threadless 135mm Front Disc Spacing
hopefully it gets here before the rear hub spokes start breaking and they will.

Fun times!
Was going to put on a new specimen, a Trek 700x50C but didnt feel like messing with the new nice ride as its my only backup.
The 26 wheel would have fit good.

 
I have not even ordered the Amazon Sunlite fat fork. I am keeping the fork as a memento. I find with the damaged fork, I would have guessed that the right hand side of the fork would be spread but its perfect, its the left side that has spread out. I was hit from my left side.

I am riding this now. Frame is XXL, 700x50C front, 26x2 rear. Going about half as fast as I used to since the accident. The rear rack is my hardcased battery 52V 14.5Ah Grintech not on in the pic, being charged up next to computer. That triangle battery should be 36V and about 28Ah but only has capacity of 15Ah due to degradation, that 15Ah nets me 20'ish km with a one geared cruiser, the trek I do more pedaling with so I will see what I get for total distance.

The bicycle itself is upside down, the seat is out but would be on the ground. The chain is the giveaway, plus the Cyclone motor mount plates are on but I never installed on that bike as the plates need bend for 100mm bb.
 
I was seriously thinking about buying this, it was at an auction.
2019 RAD POWER RAD ROVER 5 ELECTRIC FAT BIKE

I had a feeling it was going to go for near $1000, but I was willing to buy it for $500-$600 as I saw another bicycle at a pawn shop, similar styling, non ebike for $900 but maybe can get it for $600-$700. So you see where my thinking was going, if the battery was in decent condition I could have scored if that 2019 RAD POWER ROVER was $600 or $700. By the time I found the auction, signed up the bid was at $725 on Sunday.

That RAD ROVER 5 did not come with a charger, which would be $50 at the website below.
The final bid was yesterday at $975cdn which is far to much for that ebike. Brand new they are $1600 from https://www.radpowerbikes.com/products/radrover-electric-fat-bike

The small geared hub motor would be good to put on another bicycle, build as ebike and sell.
The battery, who knows what condition it would have been in.

Here take a look at the link and pictures if you want to, it will be a bad link in no time.

*Looks like it was a bidding war between 2 parties from the $725 mark.
