I cant get fronts because of the aluminum forks anyway :( but will a rear fit and allow the gears to still work? I understand internal hub gears will not but i thought i read somewhere that the regular 8 speeds will work.

URGENT! Can someone confirm if I will really loose my use of gears on my Dahon Speed P8 if I decide to get the geared hub motor for the rear? Someone made an offer on my dahon and if I will lose the use of the gears, I am going to sell the Speed P8 and get a boardwalk and that will actually...

That's not bad, at $280. I'll update when I figure out which one I am deciding on. I am going to do more research when I have time next week. Thanks!!

Thank you for the help, I haven't considered some of those! My Dahon is a Speed P8, it has 20" wheels. I was told by the guy selling the ePower kit that the rear gears will not be affected even if you put the motor in the rear. Isn't the cassette on the outside of the hub? I dont really know...

Jerry, I am in southern california. I am still deciding on the distance and range I need. The bike isn't used for commuting but due to my situation, it is an extension of my car. I will use it to take me around places where the car isn't allowed and long distance walking is required. One real...

"Fork SR Suntour. Suspension XCT V4. 80mm travel. Alloy one piece lower. Disc Compatible." That is what it says on Montague's website under the paratrooper's technical specs. 80mm travel you are talking about? Or are you talking about the width? Is it possible to change out this fork and...

I am looking at an option of buying a Montague bike, such as the swiss x50 or the paratrooper. Preferably used. And then adding a front driven hub motor wheel. The bike is rougly 29 lbs so this would make the weight about 45 lbs, 50 lbs at most including the battery (if lithium). The new x50...

Thanks, great advice. I'm considering it all. I'm also considering regular bikes without electric because they are much easier to ride than I last remember. The last time I rode a bike was in college and being a newbie to the bike world, I never knew you could get 17lbs carbon fiber bikes used...

Thanks. I no longer have the truck though which is the problem. I do not have a bike rack either and while it is certainly an option to get one, if I find one that folds (preferably) that does what I need then it would make my life that much easier. No need to haul it up stairs and into my house...

Hello, I need all the bike and electrical geniuses help please. Electrical is one thing I'm not very good at, mainly because I have zero experience with it other than installing a car stereo. I need a replacement to my Currietech Ezip Trailz ebike. I have a disability that does not allow me to...
