Hi,
My converted e-bike feels unstable if I ride it. The front wheel does not feel to 'lock' to a straight line. It feels nervous when I travel at speeds of max 35 km/h. What could be an option to give my bike more self-stability or balance?
What I already did is deflate the front wheel tire a little. That helped to diminish the nervousness of the steering wheel quite a bit.
I also connected a steering turn limiter (a spring) from the fork to the frame to keep the front wheel more straight. The spring causes the front wheel to be pulled back to a straight line. This seems to help a little bit.
But at this point I am not happy with the result. It is safe so far, but I dare not relax while riding it. Has anyone a helpful suggestion I could try out?
This is the 'trekking hybride' I converted to an ebike. https://www.pegasus-bikes.de/produkt/pegasus-coronadisc-586-61848
The motor is a Bafang 48V 500W rear wheel hub motor. I installed a 48V battery on the rear rack. This is the end result:
Thanks, Paul.
