Recumbent Bicycle Source
100 W
I'm working on a Townie Conversion. This is the fork from a bike purchased in Jan 2016. So it could be a 2015 or 2016 Model.
This bicycle was manufactured in China. The Model is 7D Tall Frame. The fork I believe is steel (At least that's what I saw in the Specs and it's not Aluminum).
I am posting this photograph for reference for people considering adding a Front Motor to a Townie.
All my notes got wiped out when posting this... and the Browser Glitched.
Anyways... I don't feel like writing the post over again do here is the condensed version.
Torque arm (Grin ebikes.ca) is not bent.. that's an illusion caused by the camera. Had to use a C Washer because of Lawyer Lips. Those lips protrude to the inside as well... leaving less surface area to push the motor against. This is a 9C 2806 that weighs about 19lbs with the Wheel build and tire.
The dropouts are half the thickness of the Surly Long Haul Trucker I have on my other bike. Surly makes solid stuff... this is Cheap Chinese.
I used Blue Loctite on the Nut. Probably not going to push more than 1000 Watts through it so it should work fine.
