Fabulous eBikes USA has models with 20" tires that they state are equipped with RST Hydraulic Forks. Perhaps contact them and see where they procure the forks and/or if they'll sell them separately.

For one, DillengerUS has a 350w. This was my first kit and it's still running on my daughter's cruiser 10 years later.

Sorry about the wrong name(s); that's what happens when you're old and you think you remember something. Anyway Mikhalia had big problems, including, but not limited to a hip replacement when she was a teenager, but looks good (actually great) now. A doctor (YouTube "Nutrition Made Simple")'s...

Not to hack your thread, but if you're not familiar with her, Cassandra Peterson has a fascinating account on YouTube of her life as a (now) carnivore; her dad has one as well. I can't relate since my system seems to metabolize carbs well.

I wonder whether it has any advantage (other than weight) compared to a mid-drive, especially in dusty socal. Probably I'll experiment when the price is more reasonable. Have you attempted to generate interest from OEM's?

Since it's pedal assist only, why can't you set it up for 28 mph since most states use the "Class" system which has a designation for PAS @ 28 mph. You could just make the buyer sign for road application only. Did you consider a crowd fund to provide enough orders for a lower price?

I broke a crank arm on a fairly high end Trek MTB years ago. The interesting aspect (to me) is it broke at the top of a five mile 1800' ascent after I had reached the top and was "cooling off". Accordingly I wasn't hurt since I was pedaling so easily. I have a background in metallurgy and...

I looked at a SOC vs voltage chart for 52V systems and at 80% and 90% the Luna charger was close (AIR within a couple of tenths which is probably the extent of accuracy of the voltmeter). 100% was 58.6V. Everything was close enough.

Luna (and many others probably) has a 52V charger that has 80%, 90% and 100% capability.

Utah Trikes Has RST and Amazon Bucklos and Suntour, but all are heavy (five + pounds), coils and no damping (AFAICT). Everything else is even worse, but maybe one of these will smooth the ride a bit. Universal Cycles is my go to place and they don't list any, so your options probably are very...

I install a 14s, 4p (52V, 8ah) on a Blackburn large water bottle frame cushioned by a styrofoam liner. Picture shows the installation without battery.

I'm not impressed since I tried to order a Bafang front motor kit and they were sold out unless a battery was ordered with the motor.

The "writing was on the wall" for Kona after they pulled out of Sea Otter precipitously after paying (probably a small fortune for the site) and actually setting up their booth. This was my LBS's main brand for many years.

Also, hope you don't get fined if you shipped it without going through a HAZMAT broker.

The new Townies have a Hyena motor and, more importantly, 250 wh battery. The battery seems good for a trip to the market, but not long range. Also, top speed is 20 mph AFAICT.
